Hi Katy, nice to 'meet' you! Yeah it's a real shame about the NHS and I can't see it recovering somehow. That and the education system are two things I feel very strongly about and both are letting us down, in an ideal world I'd homeschool and have private healthcare for everything but unfortunately we're a long way from being able to do either. Maybe one day!
Ok so this is where my earnings to date have come from, might be useful to anyone else reading as well as hopefully showing anything I've missed:
Currently using

All of the above are what I'm using at the moment. Leapforce I make my priority to do daily as it's my biggest single earner. I'd love more work from them but applied for Yukon at the same time as Nile and didn't hear anything unfortunately. Swagbucks I've been on for years and go through phases of using it. This is currently my 2nd biggest earner as my husband also has an account that I 'look after' for him. I've been withdrawing in amazon vouchers the last month or so because of the sale on them but prefer paypal when there isn't such a big gap in the number of swagbucks needed. It's by no means a good return for the time but is so familiar and takes no concentration or effort so I'll stick with it for the foreseeable. The others are a mix of accounts I've had for ages and new things I've signed up for this year but at the moment I check all of them every day as well as going through all the emails they send me.
Signed up to but yet to earn from
Edigital Research
What Users Do
Spare 5
Paidviewpoint
Pondengo
Saros Research
All of these are recent sign ups and some are already looking to end up on the below list but I want to give them a fair chance, especially the top two and bottom one as I think they have the potential to be really good. If I can get any work lol!
No longer using

I drop a company if I either can't get anywhere with them at all, feel it takes too much time/effort for too little, I've had technical or some other actual problem with it, if I replace them like for like with a better option or if the payout level just took too long to get to, in which case they go after first payout. Pureprofile and spare 5 will definitely be joining this list as soon as I reach the payout threshold on them.
I also applied to work as a Captioner with Rev but after passing the first exam I got rejected on the 2nd unfortunately. Other than this I enter the odd comp here and there from the comps board on the other money forum, mainly ones with a cash prize. I check the freepostcode lottery, dob lottery and ashleighmoneysavers cash draw daily, just in case. Several times a year I check and switch the household bills to try and do the best I can for them and also have a clear out to get rid of unwanted stuff via ebay/facebook/ziffit/carboot. Always shop through cashbacks sites for anything I haven't got Amazon vouchers for lol! Most of this isn't new to me so doesn't feel like all that much effort but what I really need is something else along the lines of Leapforce to bump my earnings up to the next level, ie upwards of £500 per month. Any ideas welcome.
That's it for the massive posts now, I shall endeavour to update my diary as my journey continues.
