New to the site - ideas welcome

:hello: Just wanted to say hi, have been lurking on the site for a few days now trying to absorb all the money saving hints and tips.

My biggest pain in the butt is a credit card and my overdraft. I have a 2 year old daughter and therefore work evenings and weekends at a pub (which gives me the same amount of earnings as when I worked full time but had to pay childcare as we both worked). I am therefore at home in the day - any advice on ways to either earn some extra cash from home or save money would be greatly appreciated.

I have signed up to the pigsback and don't think I understand the match betting enough to feel confident to have a go. I have been selling quite a lot on ebay lately which I love but am running out of things to sell - have thought about trying to find a wholesaler to buy stuff to put on ebay but not sure where to find one, probably need to brush up on my computer skills to find one on the net - also any ideas would be welcomed.

Its great to see so many people supporting each other to fight debt :T

Hi Skysky and welcome to the DFW forum!

Have a look over on the Mortgage Free Wannabe board - there's a sticky thread there called the Great Bit on the Side hunt, it should give you some ideas!

Hi. :hello: How about mystery shopping or internet surveys? Have a look at the olympic challenge there's loads of ideas at the begining of there on how to rasie money from nothing/very little.

Also if you do an SOA (see Southern Scousers sticky) we can see if we can find you any areas to cut back in to throw money at your debts.

Best of luck with it all.

I've never used them so I can't recommend them, but have a search for "simply wholesale" to see the type of site that might help. If you do some other searches on based around "wholesale". And remember before you send any money to any site, do some other searches with the name of the site and the name of the site owners with words like "scam" and "problems" just in case they have a bad reputation online.

If you are going to run an e-bay business as a sole trader, remember you will have to register as self-employed.
