    Xmas Saver!
    Hi Nicky the other job I could suggest is supermarket work, I worked previously in supermarkets and one of the cashiers was training to be a nurse, and filled in the evening shifts eg 5-9, as most people wnted the day shifts.
    Thats the trouble with nursing, its on the old fashioned bursary system, so any extra money is like getting blood out of a stone.
    Def go down the SOA route, also keep a spending diary, you might be surprised where the money goes, whether it be 30p on a packet of gum, £2.00 for a coffee £3 for a mag, its the little things that add up, but we dont think of xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    My mum did a similar course a few years back when I was a teenager and too blind to her worries to be much help :embarasse She did evening shift as a carer for peole with mental health issues. Gave her some experience that pointed her in the right directions for where she wanted to work and it was easier money that some of the other job. Granted some days she came home with her clothes covered in poo, but others she got a quiet night where she could do some revision. I'm not selling it well, but it was a perfect fit for her.
