Hi all, Im a single mum of one studying full time at college, I need to earn extra money, however small! I need to do this withough being employed as working under 16hrs I wont be eligible for tax credits but it will effect my other benefits, meaning I may end up out of pocket.
There are not enough hours in the week for me to do 16hrs of work.
Any ideas?? I thought about some sort of ebay thing but really come to a dead end :rolleyes:

Thank you! I do think there should be more help for people in these sort of situations. We are expected to do it all! If you stay at home your lazy, if you go to work in a job that requires little or no qualifications your seen as 'not very bright and will always be doing that kind of work' and if you try to study to better yourself, no one wants to give you a heping hand!!0 -

That's a really good idea, thanks! anything not classed as 'employment' and that I control how many hours I put in is ideal0 -
