Hello everyone,

Has anyone got any good ideas on how to make extra money? I think I have now exhusted eBay and sold everything I possibly can!

I work full time during the week so really I am looking for evening and weekend work. Unfortunily I don't have a car so I am looking for things I can do from home or locally in my area. I have tried looking for a second job/temp work but did'nt really have any luck finding anything suitable. I would also love to hear what people have done to make extra cash...

Thanks for reading my thread - all suggestions are very welcome.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    What about bar work?
    Or my DD had a job working late evening in the local supermarket stocking the selves.

    I have done bar work in the past and to be honest its not for me. I know its sounds lame but I don't like working in bars - I don't like dealing with the punters! I like the supermarket idea - I'll look into that - thanks for the idea!

    The link doesn't seem to be working but if you scroll through the DFW forum there are a few helpful threads.

    Start a Religion. You never see a poor one and they have no shame in asking anyone for money and saying to parishioners that they are not giving enough.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    and of course, if you get your house designated as a place of worship, i think you're exempt from council tax!!!

    (and just to be clear - i am joking!)

    1. If you are at degree level AQA (any questions answered) appears lucrative.
    2. Usual suspects - quidco, pigsback.
    3. ebay / amazon anything not screwed down.
    4. On line surveys.
    5. if you have free time at home use it well - organise spending, use http://www.fixtureferrets.co.uk/ to sort out best deals for shopping.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Taxi driving, although there's obviously plenty of punters you have to deal with ! :)

    I looked into it years ago, and you can rent a car from the company for your shifts. Not sure how much the licence is from the council though nowadays.

    Hope this helps, and well done on reducing your debt as much as you have so far ;)
    Doing my best as a contrarian investor...property, banking...let's see how it goes ;)
