    Anyone ever received this from Prolific (via Castle)

    Hi Just wondered if anyone can shine a light on this. I have used my iPad in a different location tonight and soon after got an email from notifier@castle.io saying it was on behalf of Prolific (the Prolific logo is in the email) and saying they had noticed I'd used a different service...

    Re: 'Amazon' sending emails from a '.edu' account again

    I mentioned earlier in the week I've suddenly started receiving emails from an address under the guise of 'Amazon' saying they have despatched my order or an order was paid for by myself and if this was not the case to click a link to let them know etc. Of course I have not clicked the link. I...

    Pinecone - still no surveys - is there a telephone number?

    It's really annoying - after waiting for so long to be accepted by Pinecone I finally received my welcome email telling me I would have my first survey within a couple of days. That was at the end of August so 9 days ago. I've sent 2 emails to which I've received no reply. I've adjusted the...

    Car Insurance - how did they know where i was calling from?

    Just had to call RAC about car insurance. Used the 'say no to 08...' facility, put 141 in front of the number when I dialled it. Told them I was away on holiday so couldn't check the paper docs that were sent to my address. They then went on to question 'oh you're on holiday are you...

    Spoons going missing...and a strange substance on the wall!

    I've noticed spoons seem to be going missing from the place where I work - there is only ever two people in the house (the employer and the carer). It just seems a bit odd to mention this when I know teaspoons go walkabout a lot, but we've had these spoons for ages but just recently they seem...

    Wall mounted electric fires vs Gas fires

    I have the unenviable task of having to get a new boiler installed and current gas fire removed as it is part of a unit that links to a back boiler... If I lived in my house I would have the fire place recessed and either use it as a feature or put a portable electric heather in there or...

    What is Your Age?

    I'm curious as to whether I'm one of the oldest active members on this site - I'm 49 I'm sure my age goes against me for a lot of things - I had thought I was pretty mainstream - white female, uk born, british citizen, divorced...! I remember the first time I experienced ageism - I was 29...

    Throwing Digital Sheep!

    Thought there might be a few people interested in this. Gaming definitely not my thing but saw this ad on Gumtree for writers and bloggers for this (they also have an ad for video game reviewers). The ad is located in the charity/voluntary work section but that might just have been an error...

    'What Have You Eaten Today?'

    Given the interest in food/diet and weight loss I though maybe a 'What have you eaten today?' thread would be appropriate... I'm going to do a nutrition course (which is FREE) and I'm curious to see what nutrients people are lacking or excessing in in our modern day eating habits. I LOVE my...

    1200 (ish) calories a day meal planners

    I know 1200 a day is not good but in the past when I was trying to lose some weight I was recommended to limit calories to this a day... The website I used meant you entered in your food and drink intake for the day and it then totalled up the calories and nutritional content. It also showed...

    Free Online NCFE Level 2 Courses

    I realise it's not 'earning money online' but qualifications can often help open the gateway to earning money online (and offline) depending on the job.... These, I believe are all free - I completed the 'Mental Health Awareness Level 2' qualification earlier this year and was impressed at how...

    Your CV When Applying For Online Jobs

    When you apply for an online job with an organisation you know little about, how much information are you willing to part with by sending your CV? What with ID fraud and scams advertising wonderful jobs that don't exist etc etc. I've seen some jobs asking for photo, NI no, copy of passport to...

    A bit concerned - iTunes account - Apple id

    Hi I'm relatively new to downloading apps but having started using the task orientated ones and having an iphone it often asks you to confirm your account details regardless of whether the app is free or not (I only have free ones). Anyway, I noticed my bank account balance and balance...

    Surveys...cash (and be taxed) or vouchers?

    Just wondering... Whilst asking for payouts via Paypal from surveys it's obvious I would need to declare them under earnings as a self-employed tax payer. However, I'm guessing that if I choose vouchers for goods etc, these amounts are not taxable? In which case it makes sense not to cash out...
