Looking for a bit of extra cash...

Options
Hi,

I'm new to the site (please, be gentle with me!) and I'm hoping some of the more savvy money savers could point me in the right direction.

I work full time, mon-fri 8-5, but what with getting a house and car a few years ago, have mounted up debts (£5500 on credit cards and overdraft) Try as i might, i can never seem to make a big enough dent in this, so i figured some extra work might be an idea.

The thing is, i haven't a clue where to look, I've tried the local paper, Sheffield Forum, Gumtree etc. The only offer i got back was from Bettaware, which i accepted, only for them to never send me ANYTHING.

Would love to hear peoples sugesstions on this, as it is bothering me that every month i have no money to spend on me, its all swallowed by bills and bank charges. :cry:

    Get your debt sorted, save yourself the starting block..pay off worst rates stuff, move some/all into a loan you can afford, or long term good rates on a CC.

    To earn money, if you want to do physical work, look at leaflet dropping, gardening, ironing services etc...
    At home try surveys, cashback, plenty to try your hand out. Have a good read of the forums and see what appeals.

    Part time work for example bar work, takeaway delivery, cleaning

    Get you credit cards debt on to low interest cards if you can, cut back on things where possibly. Shop around for bargains and stock up. Use a dceent cashback web site like topcashback and look for discount codes for shopping ons MSE in discount forum

    Its surprising how much you can save you can easily save hundreds a year on some of the above

    Give me a break Money maker. I m not spamming at all as I have stated on more than one of your insulting personal attacks on myself. And I am not doing it for personal gain.

    I get nothing, just merely stating that there are some legit way to make money.

    If you hadn't copy/paste'd it so many times in the first time.
    Keep threads on topic a bit more..

    pcmoney and pickles1 are one and the same - again. Please stop clogging the forums by posting spam then re registering to defend yourself.

    To be honest if you genuinely knew a method of making money WHICH WOULD NOT BENEFIT YOU IN ANY WAY, you would have given up a long time ago after having your posts deleted 20 TIMES! However, your persistency is explained by your intentions which is to scam others.

    Everyone, please report both pickles1 and pcmoney as spammers, who are the same people.
    MSE allowed me to see the light

    I do the offers and dailies on cashback sites, it may not seem like much but it is surprising how quickly the money builds up - and you don't have to go outside in all weather traipsing the street. You can do it while you're watching telly
    If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours :)
