How can we make £300 a month - ideas please!

SuperMum2008

Hi, we have discovered due to bad book keeping that we owe £2600 - yes yes, we know we are silly and are kicking ourselves at the mistake but there we go - we must move on . The company we owe to has agreed that we can pay it back in instalments of £500pm but we are going to try and negotiate £300 a month. However, we just dont have it!! SO - the challenge to all you fabulous people out there is:

HOW CAN WE MAKE £300 a MONTH??

We have already started a small ebay shop to try and get some extra cash, but it is taking ages to get up and running, although there is potential for £30 a week income from it if we can get it kickstarted.
We have already agreed to do car boot sales, and since making the decision, it has POURED every weekend.

Any other thoughts? We both work full time so anything would have to be outside of working hours, and preferrably allowing time to talk to our partners, eat and sleep in between too!

THANKYOU!!!

Hi

Check out the £10 per day challenge, that would be prety much in line with what you want.

Thankyou - I will check this thread out. £10 a day sounds a real challenge but Im happy to give it a go!

I know it's not going to make you a lot of money straight away but try a bit of Slice the Pie, where they pay you to rate music...

ebay car boot sales return anything you don't need spend less on shopping etc
slice the pie
comping
daily clicks
quidco
amazon
surveys and polls
etc
i agree look at the make £10 a day thread and up your income.

Thanks Buzbox and Jenjade. Can you tell me what "comping" is? And I will try Slice the pie - I love music so thats a great idea.
Also, how do I get all that fab stuff under my threads that shows what Im trying to save etc?

jenjade

f you have some time on your hands comping is entering loads of competetions there is a thread full of them it is not garenteed but you have to be in it to win it!!
good luck

Supermum2008 I think for the amount you are looking for (£300 each and every month) you are talking about a second job.
Bar work or such like.

I don't know whether you've posted an SOA? You may find that some careful budgeting helps Martin says "boost your income by up to 25%" by following his suggestions, and the good peeps here can often spot some glaringly obvious (to them :rotfl: ) savings that you could make. That would be less painful than trying to up your income.
