Ideas for earning money, part time?

carinska

I am trying to find a PT job to reduce our debts a little bit faster! I work Mon-Fri normal office hours at the moment so could work evenings/weekends. I'm not overly keen on bar work/waitressing, and they don't seem too keen on me either, I think I am too old!

So I am looking for inspiration for other ways to earn some money. I've got bits and bobs listed on Ebay, and we've been to the car boot sale, but I am now looking for something on-going. Working from home would be ideal, but I sense that many of the small ads you see for that type of things are scams.

Have no skills such as sewing etc, but I do have a home PC and am more than happy to do boring/tedious work!

If anyone has any suggestions, contacts etc I would really appreciate them!

theres a thread on the mortgage free wannabe board called something like a bit on the side hunt for people doing the same thing.

Boring tedious work ... how about retail?

How about Avon? You could fit that around your normal week.

Quite a few members here make money from Quidco and Pigsback too

Try the job centre website: jobcentrplu.gov.uk

You can search part jobs on there - specify evenings and / or weekends, up to 16 hours.

Regularly follow that.

I think pubs and restaurants everytime - you can usually do as many hours as you want in a pub - just go in one you fancy working in and ask if they need anyone - not great pay but nice and sociable - serving meals or drinks its up to you - also any catering - they always want people - again pick where you fancy and ask. You can sign on agencies for catering, chopping salads etc. waitressing etc. they can often find you jobs - good luck - waitressing is good for tips in some places - find that out first

If you have kids then Phoenix cards could really work well for you
