  • There used to be a thead on here (don't know if it's still around), called make £10 a day challenge. You could take a look there for some ideas, other then that, I'd say Ebay really for some quick money, depending on what you'd sell of course.
    Payment a day challenge: £236.69
    Jan Shopping Challenge: £202.09/£250
    Frugal Living Challenge: £534.64/15000
  • I am a student at the moment and I am a qualified Nursery Nurse. Unforunatly, there are no jobs in my area, and if there are they want experience even in shops which I dont have

    How about mystery shopping, selling on amazon or ebay, sign up to focus groups. Read through through the threads on here . There's lots of ideas.
  • Do you currently work? If it is possible you could do a few extra hours in a bar or resturants. Extra money is good and lots of tips.

    The biggest online wage I ever earnt was a text service. Mainly people would text in for addresses or phone numbers. but I would reply on my computer and get 50p per response. But it just got so boring. You could easily make minimun wage but it is incredibly boring.

    Selling on ebay is good for making money if you have things around you don't want/need.

    Also while I was at University I used to design images and slogans and upload them onto a website. People could use the images to put on theirmugs, posters, magnets, keyrings etc. I got a % of the sale price. It was only an extra £20-30 a week. But I went on the site the other day and there are so many members now compared to 5 years ago, doubt it would be as successful unless you stand out lots.

    Anyway browse this forum, there its thoussands of posts of people asking similar with great response.

    Just one thing - nothing comes easy. Everything takes hard work. So if it looks too good to be true it probably is, so avoid.

    Hi. I dont know if this would be suitable, but a friend of friends hubby used to put the Christmas lights up in October and take them down after. I wonder if a google would bring up some companies who recruit?

    Being unemployed right now, I'm willing to be bored whilst making minimum wage. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction for this type of job?

    Id be interested to know what the website was where you designed the images please? :)
  • Are you looking for work as a nursery nurse - you said you are qualified?

    Some nurserys employ staff for after school clubs etc - could you do this?
    It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice
