    I work full time, have a weekend job and I am also an Avon rep.
    I also do free daily scratch cards, sell on eBay , do a little bit of Mystery shopping and Pincone Research surveys. :)

    I earn extra doing online surveys, just joined a survey job off here too. I also do matched betting which is a really good thing, and am wanting to try the playing black jack bonuses, that can earn you quite a bit too im told. It all adds up.:beer:

  • I have a full time job (which I just got promoted in whoop!), also get 'overtime' every weekend and have just started in the wonderful world of mystery shopping.... desperately trying to save for driving license + lessons + car + all the other great stuff like insurance that goes with it!

    I do a variety of things - you can see what I have done from my signature. I do lots of surveys, use cashback sites, free bingo, mystery shopping and hve sold a few cds.

    I reckon I have raised about £5 a day so far but I have lots pending (at least £80 in cashback, £30 in surveys) because I don't count it until I have it.

    Wow! Clearly there's lots I need to learn!! x

    I have a canine lodger at the moment, she's with me for 3 weeks & I get £10 a day, all I have to do is walk her everyday & she's a lot less trouble than some human lodgers I've had.

    Never let success go to your head, never let failure go to your heart.
  • Hi - I work part-time but have just got a part-time job to earn some £'s for summer hols as a house guide for a National Trust property - mainly working weekends (from Easter-Sept) but can also be during the week July/aug. Adverts were in Job Centre Online and altho' the jobs have gone this year - they are advertised every year - as the guides are not retained.

    I am still totally skint and up to my neck in debt but I do:
    body shop at home - I make very little but potentially 25% of all sales
    freelance training - up to £75 per hour although not a huge amount of opportunity to do it as it clashes with f/t work
    life coaching - not much on the go on the domestic coaching front, mainly due to the recession
    I also have a lodger which generates £350pcm
    I have also done bits of mystery shopping but don't think it is worth the effort at £8-12 for 45 mins in shop plus travelling (time and costs) and the time taken to write up the report and then tax taken off at the end of the year.

    I need a few more minimal effort and disruption ways to make money doing things I enjoy. I think matched betting might be next on the list.

    Perhaps a stupid question but if you do matched betting and other gambling does it have to be declared on tax return?
    If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!

    I understand how you feel!! After months of living like a hermit on my own I can finally see a very little ray of light!
    I wish I understood matched betting :confused:

    It is complex, you have to read the first step by step sticky a good 3 times to fully understand it.
