I've not done much lately. I've been told I've earned the princely sum of $5.95 on Timebucks GPT site. It's mostly surveys and Offerwalls which I'm tepid about (I'm definitely NOT spending anything or gambling). Edit: I missed the NOT out.

I haven't done a lot lately - been feeling unwell (might be hayfever so got some tablets). I'll just try and earn what I can. I applied to Data Annotations a while ago but never had the courtesy of a yea or a nay. I used to be able to get a few dollars weekly from Timebucks but they have...

I'm sure I've looked at your blog before, Katy, but if you get that much every month you must be doing something right. You are such a positive person, maybe that helps. :)

I have 3 months to register a £50 prepaid virtual card from BT (I think to compensate for the waiting around for the fibre-optic cable/halo hub to be installed). I may as well use it (says it's eligible for use anywhere a Mastercard can be used). Not earnings per se but everything helps. I've...

£5.61 ($5.61/Timebucks + $2.00 Intellizoom)

Homie, the Jobcentre has moved at sometime from a dedicated building to sharing space in a Council building so it's relatively small. I didn't see anyone signing on but I wasn't there all that long.

Two things have annoyed me - I spilt some coffee on my mobile phone and it won't charge up - I've bought a new (to me) one - it's 2nd hand of course. I'm annoyed with myself over that. When I was in town I called in at the physical job centre which mostly seemed to be giving out advice...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have my laptop back now though the USB keyboard is being temperamental. I'm going to order some new foot pedals for audio-typing using an Amazon voucher I was given - if there's enough left over I might get a new (or spare) keyboard that is extra robust.

Not about money making but thanks for the happy birthday wish, Moneyshed.

I have my laptop back but the connection with the USB keyboard sometimes drops even though the keyboard is still plugged in. The cat's pet insurance paid something for her arthritis medicine - every little helps. Theoretically I can start earning or trying to earn. The fibre optic cable has...

£8.33 which is a combination of $US 10 from usertesting and $US 1 from user zoom.

Just seen these replies to a months old thread so a belated thanks for suggestions.

The above is a sympathy like, Karonher - definitely not saying I'm glad it happened to you. I've had to stump up for a new laptop fan. The repair man to be fair did try to see if he could cannibalise a part from an old machine but that didn't work. I had a chance to do some typing this week too.

I did a search on "transcription work UK". There was a site called "MyRemotePath" - from their wording it sounded as though they had current transcription work. Well they were a job board and the most recent transcription jobs were from June 2023. They were certainly disingenuous. Mind you...

I'm not averse at 'having a go' but there are times when I feel as a layperson it's best to let the experts do the task lest I make a complete mess of it. Mine laptop is an HP. I spoke to one of the people at the computer shop today and he said if it's just a matter of simply cleaning the fan...
