    Could you do housework for somebody? There are usually people who are out at work all day or with disabilties that would welcome a dependable person to do some cleaning etc. for them. Some of those probably wouldn't have any objection to a well behaved child accompanying you if you have nobody else to look after him/her.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Don't forget that any money you earn will affect your means tested benefits. Have you looked on the DFW and OS boards for ways in which you can cut down your expenses?
