    Very interesting Candlesrus, can you sell the whole year round. I once tried to make a business of making and selling candles and found that people were really only keen at Christmas time. Has this attitude changed?
    I also work same company.

    Yes we sell all year round.

    Our company helps change attitudes with lots of fab special offers, promotions and our products just generally being great quality.

    It costs nothing to join us, so great way to try and see if party plan works for you without paying out anything beforehand.:T
    I get paid to party!:rotfl:

    Look on the job centre website and when it asks if you want to search by particular word type in Home you might get something. I got my present job there and although the pay is only £6 per hour i can work up to 25 hrs a week if required.
  • I work from home and have a large team of people all over the UK (Traders!) in a company called Phoenix Trading (greeting cards etc)...please contact me if you'd like some more info!

    I work from home too. I work for AQA (which I completely love) and I also do a couple of other things (moderating a forum for a cancer charity and surveys). I'm a carer and a part time uni student too, so working from home is a godsend, and I'm always looking for other genuine homeworking opportunities to make a bit extra.

    I worked in an office on the 9-5 for 12 years, and after working from home would nver want to do that again.

    There are lots of good opportunities to make a reasonable living working from home and the posts above and elsewhere on this forum provide some great ideas.

    The only thing I'd give a caution about though is to avoid the "make a fortune on the internet" type which are so much advertised these days. You can make a good living via the internet, but unless you are very lucky, it will take a lot of time, effort and dedication.

    Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!
