Sorry. need help. Need cash QUICK!

Hi all

Sorry to be so crap.

Just checked my bank balance and we are in trouble faster than I thought.

Am waiting for CTC to survive the month. Anyone got any QUICK income ideas that can help me out over the next couple of weeks?

Please?

Thanks in advance

sell your stuff on ebay...

Crikey, been there...chin up, it's short term.

Right, get on Slice the Pie if you're not already on there, and muller it for all you're worth. You should be able to get to about £35 a week before your brains leak out of your ears. Get over to the AG8 thread if you need help, and we'll do what we can.

Also, sign up with Lightspeed (frequent surveys, pay into PayPal in about a week), as it will be good for small amounts of extra cash in future too.

Go through all pockets, bags etc. for small change. Lots of small change mounts up.

Phone bank/anyone you need to settle bills with over the next couple of weeks, and ask for a few days leeway.

Hope this helps

I'm exactly the same. Not even sure how I got there but it's a horrible feeling. Little girl's ballet lessons aren't helping I keep forgetting I've written cheques for it. Went over my overdraught limit for the first time last week but for three transactions and they charge by the transaction of course! No charge has been made yet but I'm sure it's coming :-(

I'm going to try and run my kitchen cupboards down for a bit and try not to go out. OH is ill and not eating so all that cheap 50p food I bought from Morrisons seems less of a bargain now it's rotting in the cupboard. I'm off to try the slice the pie thing now - thanks for that.

carboot sales?

see if your neighbors need their grass cutting (should be able to make £5-10 per go easy?)

babysitting for friends/family?

dooyoo.co.uk - paid to write reviews and it works out about 50p per review so quicker than Slice the Pie.

Ebay is great but watch out for fees - they can add up and if you don't sell you just have another bill to pay.

Mystery shopping (lots of good threads on here). I have found the best to be Gfk and Retail Eyes. It is amazing how quick the jobs add up and you can get an extra boost to your bank balance.

Ann Summers (again threads on here). I did this last year when I was really skint. Not everyones cup of tea I know but it brings in the cash. There is no initial payment either as they just take a rental every week from your earnings. If you get a good unit organiser they will set you up with parties to get you started too.

Good luck. Em
