  • Can you not get a proper job or already working?
  • Is there any possibility of doing a paper round, or getting a saturday job?
    I know the idea of working on a saturday when you're 16 isn't fun... But if you haven't got the money to go out with your friends etc, then you really can't complain :P

    I would recomend Dooyoo.co.uk You can write some reviews for products you have, or have tried... It's easy as pie, you can redeem your points once you have enough, not sure what the limit is though.

    Also, try slicethepie... although there's a bit of an issue with it now, you can earn cash from reviewing other peoples music. As long as you give an honest thoughtful opinion, you could earn quite a bit!

  • When i was 16, i'd get the bus (about 20 minutes journey) into town and I worked behind the till at Boots.

    How about - baby sitting, dog walking, ironing service. Actually, i did use to fix computers as well, charging a fun £7 an hour (back in 96).
  • Gardening in winter? Are you insane, Valli? haha.
    I suppose spring is the next season...

    Car washing is a good one also, who the heck wants to wash their own car in the freezing cold weather?

    No ideas but fair play to you for wanting to find a way of earning money at 16. Good luck finding something
