    We all got up very early for the car boot sale,got there in good time only to find it wasnt on! It wasnt advertised as not being on and it caught loads of people out and my OH was very annoyed! So were going to make a proper start tomorrow and write this weekend off!

    I found this

    Anyone thinking of going as far as another part time job to top up earnings? I maybe would but it would only be for 2 months so not really worth it i dont think?

    I've got one. Bar work normally 12 hours a week at minimum pay. The effort doesn't really seem worth it TBH. Its extra money **must keep remembering that**

    Yes,i am! :D My OH and i have fallen in love with the idea of buying a house and so we are now after every penny we can make! im looking into doing bar work at the weekends as my OH has had no overtime for 4 months now so he can have our DD while i work.

    Well i was kinda thinking not wanting to do bar work, alot of trouble in this area and for the min wage its not worth it! Plus i would be willing to work and nights of the week except a Friday and Saturday night as thats the main time i spend with gf! I would work 3 or 4 nights through the week from 6 oclock onwards and during the day Saturday and Sunday...So could manage about 30 hours from that?

    Edit to say iv been told just do 16 hours max? As the tax will make it pointless after that??

    Phew have had busy day!

    Did my bumper cooking session this morning, Chilli, Bolognese and a Meat and Potato Pie....Then a bit of gentle Ebaying! Listed 6 items and have a 99p bid already, woohoo!!

    Am awarding myself the rest of the evening off.... well might do a bit of comping maybe :D

    How about part time work in a supermarket then? I've never done it but i understand you can also get staff discount in some - so savings on food bill too. I can't remember where i saw it, but i think i read that Aldi and Lydl are really good to their staff in this respect.
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    Have spent the day listing some things on Ebay and Esty (don't hold out much luck for Etsy really) Plan is to try to list at least 5 things a week (not sure what yet!) I have to say I have never really had much luck with Ebay either, but willing to give it a go.
