Well what about wallpaper? I mean do you really need it? eBayers will pay good money for nearly anything you know.

We went to a furniture auction,they also sell bric a brac ect,we couldnt believe what things were selling for.Cheap makes of DVD players were selling for £35.00.We thought instead of doing a car boot sale we would make up some boxes of stuff and see what we can get for them,it might be better than standing around at a car boot sale all day.

1) selling stuff on ebay - just made 46 in the last week!! , I've been chopping up old curtains and duvet covers and making/selling peg bags because I get more as pegbags than curtains!
2) Kleeneze - on hold at the moment cos hubby can't drive! ( usually makes approx 54 a week)
3) going to find out about doing courier work , has anyone done this? I know its low paid but at the moment I'm no paid!
4) car boots
5) selling books on Amazon
6) sold 2nd car
7) joined Quidco

mystery shopping sounds intereting, where can I get more info from ? might be just the job for idle teenage son! or do you have to be a mature person , I'm 41

Similar stuff to everyone else really. Have got off my bum this week and put some stuff on amazon (dvd boxsets that I don't really watch much and can't justify keeping) so made £40 there.

Just been accepted by AQA as a part time Researcher. Sent off my contract so should kick that off properly in the next few weeks. I'm going to try and absolutely hammer that hours wise (apparently weekends are busy and I don't have a life so that's fine with me!) I've done well to get something I can work at from home, I was considering bar work, but for the hours I would have got and having to travel to and from work I'm counting my lucky stars all I have to do is log on to go to work for at least one of my jobs (not so lucky with the day job unfortunately!!)

Arranged with a friend to do a car boot Sunday after next, so will hopefully get rid of and make more money than I would have putting them on amazon/ebay (this is videos and books mostly) I've been wanting to do one for yonks, but I don't drive and trying to drag my bruv out of bed on a Sunday morning is fighting a losing battle, thank goodness for in debt friends!!

And thats it up to now. Will have finished my Indian Head Massage diploma at end of June, so can get my insurance sorted and perhaps do that ad hoc to bring in some extra cash, my case studies for my course seem to be doing most of my advertising for me, which is nice!

I used to do Ann Summers, was really successful for a part-time basis and used to make between £300-£600 a month - but this was before my debt days!

Sold LOADS on ebay, but my account banned for selling ann summers products

Debating going back to party planning or catalogues sales like AVON or Kleeneze! Also I do cake decorating and should really be advertising myself but haven't up to now!
