Flowers gacha.
You're doing the best you can lovely. Rant away all you like.

GachaBread · 20/10/2020 06:25

Jheezz I sound deranged. I'm taking a back seat for a while. I've asked for my posts to be removed. Think I need a psychiatrist. Feel so down and low. Take it easy ladies x

Gatekeeper · 20/10/2020 06:33

Flowers fir you Gacha..I dont think you nèed to get them removed. You were like a pressure cooker coming up to boil and you have vented off some steam. Vent away

GachaBread · 20/10/2020 06:42

I'm just sorry that I hijacked the thread will all my shit. I feel like crying, I really do. Everything is just so hard. I have never been so low in all my life. Pull yourself together gacha!

margaritasbythesea · 20/10/2020 06:49

Don't worry about it at all Gacha. You've done amazingly well for you children and yourself in the last year. I absolutely understand how difficult finding work that works around children is, and to be let down by something you had come to rely on is gutting.

ruralwanderer · 20/10/2020 06:57

@gachabread, sending you hugs x

TheSeedsOfADream · 20/10/2020 07:36

Gacha, don't worry, honestly. You've been here since the start iirc and always so helpful to others. We can help you now if only with a virtual hug. Brew

Claudiawinklemansfringe · 20/10/2020 11:36

I don't comment often on here but know it's grim out there for people right now and yes there's definitely fewer bits of work in most places and more people after it, often for less pay than previously. So anyway here's a very un-MN virtual hug for you @GachaBread and some Brew and Cake

Winterjoy · 20/10/2020 12:13

Sorry to hear things have taken a down turn @GachaBread Flowers

Just a quick accountability check in from me as I'm letting things tail off and it's not good enough. Since my last post on 10 Sept:

Prolific £25 - not many surveys coming up so maybe I'm not a popular demographic
Neevo £3 - only completed a handful of each task as wanted to make sure I was getting it right before giving too much time, hope to increase going forward
Intellizoom - nothing coming up for me
Appen - started the daily survey task this week; qualified for S*** but not getting my hopes up as see in these threads that some people were never progressed to the activated stage
20cogs - halfway completed
Scratchcards - £9

Have just signed up to People for Research and applied for a few jobs after seeing it mentioned on here so thanks to who ever that was Smile

Due to finish an online course this month so can then dedicate all spare time to working towards £10 per day

newnameforthis123 · 20/10/2020 13:15

Is anyone else set to work on appen's m*yer project? I can't tell if it's a one off (10 tasks) or would be 10 tasks a day / week? As might do it if it's a regular thing but if it's a one time thing it would only be a fiver or so as a one off payment I think. Any help appreciated.

peabrainer · 20/10/2020 13:37

@seizethecuttlefish yes also finding Potato much quieter atm and fewer surges. Wonder if it's because they have taken on lots of newbies. I can also only manage 15 min stints before I start making mistakes so have to take lots of breaksConfused

Adelais · 20/10/2020 13:38

Potato has been rubbish for me this month too, barely made anything as always seems quiet and been hardly any surges :(

Tattiespuds · 20/10/2020 13:48

I sent my doc for I'd verification for crisp just waiting on confirmation and then access to the training... Does this seem legit?

@GachaBread sending hugs, hope that things pick up for you xx

redgirl1 · 20/10/2020 14:08

Urgh when will Appn let me start on a project. I failed the c@bl3 test. Nothing is coming through on the projects I was accepted for. Feeling fed up with this waiting and I’m feeling they will never actually give me any work at all.

@GachaBread I’m sorry you are having a bad time of it.

0htooooodles · 20/10/2020 14:32

@Tattiespuds Yep! That's legit.

YonderTweek · 20/10/2020 14:41

I wonder if it would be a good idea to get a second hand iPhone or something for Ap tasks? I keep seeing really good ones out there but they're only for iOS. 🤔 Maybe clutching at straws here because it feels like work has dried up again. 😅

anxiouswaiting · 20/10/2020 15:22

@YonderTweek I got a 2nd hand iphone for Appen about a year ago but so far I have applied for lots that need it and got none. Been told I got on some and then don;t get logins, ask for them and am told the project is full and I am on a waiting list. Been a waste of money for me so far sadly.

YonderTweek · 20/10/2020 16:58

@anxiouswaiting Thanks! I thought that might happen. I have been invited to a few things too and after the initial excitement I have been disappointed to not receive any further messages. I suppose I could still apply and if invited I could panic buy a cheap iPhone? Grin I'll give it some thought.

Catatemyhomework · 20/10/2020 18:31

I received a survey from Angel fish if anyone's interested. I can't do it as I'm not a teacher and they are specifically looking for teachers. PM if you want to do it and I'll send you the link. If selected you get a £60 egift card.

Catatemyhomework · 20/10/2020 18:32

Sorry, should add, if you are a teacher and you want to do it.

Buster27 · 20/10/2020 21:44

@GachaBread I hope you are ok Flowers

GachaBread · 21/10/2020 05:02

Right after losing the plot the other night with my outburst I've got it out my system. It's gone and so are the tears. Ready to start fresh and look through everything else that is available for me. Let's do this!

YonderTweek · 21/10/2020 07:27

@GachaBread You can do it! 💪 I think I need to broaden my horizons too because I'm pretty much dependant on one site and the work is ridiculously on and off. 😬

GachaBread · 21/10/2020 07:31

@YonderTweek we fell into the trap of getting comfortable. So easy to do!
