Need extra income

Hi,

I need to may some extra income, along side my full time job, possibly doing something from home. I would love to make even about an extra £50.00 per week. However I am really struggling for ideas, I am willing to give anything a shot. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks for help.

    Hi SID, today I blitzed some cupboards and have two boxes of stuff to flog on eBay, you could try that. As I work solely from home, I have numerous things on the go. Some of them are -

    Home boarding for dogs
    Catalogue agent
    Mystery shopper
    Flogging stuff on eBay

    It's a precarious existence but I get by! Hope this has given you some ideas. Good luck!

  • Hi

    Other people have suggested and you can search the forums for:

    dog walking
    childminder for upto 2 hrs/day (I believe, may need more investigation)
    taking in ironing (v. easy after getting a professional ironing machine)

    For any service related job working from home, you will have to find out if there is demand in your area.
