Need to work between 9pm and 2am - any ideas?

Hi experts,

As the title suggests, does anyone have any ideas? I need to work 2-3 evenings per week in addition to my full time job. I have 2 kids aged 2 and 1...

Thanks in advance!
:o Trying to become debt free but this site makes me spend a fortune!!! :o

    Thanks Nikki - hard isnt it?

    I was thinking about ironing from home but I'd need to be able to deliver during "sociable hours" which I think I'd find hard.

    Bar work would be fine by me but everyone wants you to start at 7/8pm so I cant apply.

    I am very strong on admin and marketing but cant find much that would pay to work evenings.

    A friend of mine needed similar hours when her children were little and applied to the hospital to do the 'graveyard shift' on A&E reception. Very little competition as all the worst drunks and fighters are in at that time, but paid quite well. Might be worth an ask at your local one.
    Oh dear, here we go again.

    Rather than pubs, have you tried clubs? Many don't even open until 10 now they are allowed to stay open all night.
    Moving onto a better place...Ciao :wave:

    Thanks everyone for posting. I've applied for a job at Marks and Spencers shelf stacking 8pm-12am - not ideal, but better than nothing and brings my debt free day forward by 12 months!
