Super-fast Moneymaking Challenge!

Hi all,

I want to raise a considerable sum of money, around £650 - and I would like to do it by the end of this month!

Yes, that's quite a challenge!

Given the time constraints, the usual sources such as Ebay/surveys are out, and being car-free I can't do a car boot.

Anyone willing to cheer me along in this mad challenge and come up with some fast moneymaking ideas?

    You will be very lucky, even working unless is a highly paid job would you get that sort of money. You have 5 days

    The only other way I can think of is taking high risk is gambling. Or selling what you dont need

    You need to go round the house and find all the things you don't need. Offer them for sale through whatever means you have locally.
    Look for a part time job where the person needs someone urgently and will pay straight away in cash.
    The only other suggestion is that you borrow the money and then work really hard to pay it back.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:
