Making £200 in about 3 weeks?

Panic_Central

Hello

I have just worked out my budget and I am about £200 down for next month :eek: . I have got behind on the council tax & must pay that at the beginning of Feb. The gas & elec have gone up alot and Feb is the first month of the increased payment. It is also bf's birthday in the 2nd week of Feb & although he won't expect expensive gifts I'd like to buy him something & cook a nice meal etc. Phone bill is also due - I'm paying it quarterly at the moment - which is not good & need to set up monthly direct debit but can't do this at the moment I don't think. (Or could I ask them to change it over now to prevent whole amount coming out in Feb?).

Anyway suggestions for making money quickly please. I already do surveys and mystery shopping but don't get many assignments (I work full time so can only do weekends). I occasionally sell stuff on ebay but don't have things that will make a lot of money - have lots of books but I don't think they make much - £2 if lucky. I don't have a car so doing a car boot or similar would be difficult.

Any other suggestions? Anything (legal) considered!

Thanks

first off, yes, call BT and see if you can change to montly. that has to be your starting point. Additionally, if you dont pay off the full amount to BT you wont get cut off, ask if you can stagger the payments to something you can afford.

Secondly, it sounds like your best bet is to do some one off type work. Where abouts are you based?

In london there is a lot of
*stewarding at music/ sports venues ( evenings/ weekends)
*evening bar work
*evening call centre
*leafleting, flyering, giving out freebies/ phone cards
*helping out at trade fairs etc

For this sort of work I usually check gumtree.com

Why not do the matched betting? Take a look at the Gambling Introductory Offers Loopholes messageboard. I made £200 pretty much in the first day.
