The Cup that Cheered

Tweet

Those who don't live in the UK may not be aware of a British saying. As you probably know, we do love a cup of tea and it's often known as the cup that cheers. I totally agree with the sentiment but today tea cheered me up a little more than usual. I was invited to take part in an online forum relating to tea. I basically had to watch a few possible adverts for a popular British tea brand and comment on what I thought of them. The forum took an hour but, at the end of it, I got £15. Unfortunately it took place during lunch but I'm now sitting here having a few grapes to keep me going, washed down with ... yes, you've guessed it ... a nice cup of tea. It's rare that I get on these high paying surveys or forums but surprisingly I've been on two in the last week. The previous one was on cat food and I should be getting £45 for that - it took place over three weeks hence the larger amount. Here's hoping I'll get selected for another!!
