Need advice please

I'm looking for some ways to make some extra money. Is it for no purpose other than some extra spending money.

I'm not currently working and I have MS so getting another job is a bit of a problem especially during a recession. I am able to work but I do have mobility issues.

I've already sold a lot of CDs & DVDs I don't want. I'm not very creative so jewellery making and things like that I'm not sure I could do.

If someone could help me with some ideas I would appreciate it.

Thanks L

    Almost every day there is a thread asking for help in making extra money.

    Sorry but I don't think there will be any advice offered which hasn't already been posted on previous threads.

    Sign up to all the recommended survey sites. That will keep you busy for a week or two. There are several threads on here discussing the best ones and the worst.
    How about writing? Can you write short stories or articles for magazines or for the net?
    You can buy and sell stuff on ebay. If you can get out to some car boot sales you might pick up stuff to sell. For example I bought a pretty necklace for 50p and sold it a few days later on ebay for £1.50.
    There are lots of ideas on this forum, you just need to wade through them all until you can find something useful and suited to you.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    I am registered on a few survey sites but I do find that I can't do a lot of surveys as I live on my own and have no children (I could invent some but that would defeat the purpose) and it's a little annoying after a while to get keep getting told thanks, but no thanks. I am registered with shopanscan which is something I guess. I'll figure something out.

    Thanks

    Some of the mystery shopping companies offer email and telephone jobs. They don't pay a lot, but maybe that's another option. There is a whole mystery shopper topic on this forum with more information. I would recommend GFK for email/telephone assignments.
