    Have you tried local supermarkets or somewhere like Argos? You could also supplement your income with a bit of mystery shopping - though this doesnt normally get much money its better than nothing and on some you would probably be able to take your daughter with you.

    Have a look in the local papers for jobs.

    Hi
    Estate Agents always seem to want weekend staff - no experience necessary, full training given etc.

    I agree with jooles5a. I just got a job with an estate agents. The hours are 9am - 4pm on Saturday and 12pm - 3pm on Sunday.

    Cheers

    I know most people don't like MacDonalds but they really are ok to work for. You can do different shifts. Whatever hours you want. You have to have a break in between. Also they will give you a free meal if you work over 4 hours. I am not saying you should eat McDonalds food everyday . Both my daughters have worked for them. My youngest takes food with her and gets a free drink when she is there. Hope i don't get a lot of negative replies too this. It is just that they seem a good company to work for. Also the pay isn't too bad and there is always one close by.Good luck

    Avon etc. Your daughter could come with you whilst delivering and get some fresh air.

    Bar work/waitressing.

    Shops often take on extra staff with the run up to Christmas. Asda always do.
