I need to make around £500-800 in exactly a month!

If you have any books you could try selling them on Amazon - I've sold loads. if you've got a few books, start off by typing them into the search bar on Amazon and see what they're selling for (including the secondhand ones) to see if you've got anything worth selling (mass market paperbacks e.g. Dan Brown etc. aren't worth anything because there are so many). Even if you don't have any, you could offer to sell other people's for a cut. Good luck!0

You need instant cash. Babysitting is good for instant cash.
Apart from that:
- cutting people's grass (using their mower), people are lazy and would be happy to sit and watch you while you did it
- car washing
- dog walking
Or, if you can walk round any local restaurants/bars and see if they have any waitressing jobs, start with the places most likely to have tips. e.g. Wetherspoons pub, probably no tips; Gastro-Flash-The-Cash-Gaff, probably tips.
If you look at it as £600 in 30 days, that's £20/day ... seems a bit more manageable. So every day wake up and think "how can I earn £20 instantly today".0 -
u need £800 in a month so most of the ideas on their own wont help. There are ways of making this type of money that do not involve taking your kit off and lap dancing (though i must admit its quite creative).
I have an idea that may help you but as you dont seem to have been back here since your first post i wont bother with it. pm me when you get back.
The £20 per day theory is about the best thing here, take it as small chunks not one huge piece0 -
I really don't get these threads. Surely if there was a way (aside from just getting a job!) we could earn 800£ a month we'd all be doing it!!This thing we call failure is not falling down but staying down :beer:0

Also there is quidco for all the introductory offers.0 -
got any video games - sell them to tradeyourstuff.co.uk
any mobile phones lying around the place - envirofone or mazuma mobile - should get you started!0 -
If you are really struggling and the others are too most travel agents will let you move your holiday for a fee of about £20 pp subject to availability. Not ideal but might give you some time to save and then enjoy your holiday properly.0

Any chance of getting a loan from mum and/ or dad and paying them back by working when you get back?
Car boot sale a brilliant idea. Babysitting also good, with school holidays working mums may need child care, but again that's one for when you come back.0 -
have you tried ebay? if you go onto 'wholesale lots' you can often buy around 30 of one item and sell them all on individually for a small profit each time.
it takes a bit of effort but my brother and I managed to make over £800 in just over a month by selling various items from football figurines to polo shirts!0
