Full time mums

Do any of you work from home, if so what do you do?

My husband has a good income but I wish I could contribute, and with having 3 children under the age of 9, any extra income would be handy.

I want to go back to university at some point, but at the moment it isn't the right time.

    I'm sure you are doing lots to contribute, but if you want to earn a bit extra you could join ChaCha. Lots of mums are doing it and you can set your own hours.
  • Hi,

    Thank you.

    What is ChaCha?
  • Check out the every growing thread.

    ChaCha is a text answer service, you log on and answer customer's questions. it's pretty easy and you could make £50 to £200+ a month depending on how many hours you work. They have stopped taking on faciliators but you may still be able to get a Fact Finder role if you sign up soon.

    You can work around your kids or while you are watching tv and combine it with whatever else you want to do. Check out the thread.

    Hi, I have 2 little ones and know what you mean. I recently joined Scentsy and I'm very happy. I've never done anything like that before so I was a bit nervous but the product is great and could say it sells itself! The best thing about it is of course that is flexible and I can work as much/little as I like.
    Good luck in your search, hope you find something that suits you.
