Feel like im wasting my nights

Work Monday to Friday half 7 until between 4 and half 4. Job is weather depending so some random days I'm home by lunchtime. Feel like I waste my evenings and nights. Only times I'm just are Fri and sat spent with gd and 1 night through the week. What can I do with my time?! Stay with parents still and only 20...feel like starting up a part time business even just to get 200 quid a month extra? Any ideas?!

    Like an open uni course? Wouldn't know which course to go with. But great idea. Won't really bring an income unless I was training up for a specific evening or weekend job.

    Yeah or get a prospectus from your local college and go to evening classes and learn something new...whatever takes your fancy!

    I'm actually considering a change of career since getting qualifications in something that was originally a hobby and was studied at evening class to gain proper qualifications and now becoming more real as a career path.

  • The world is your oyster.........study? yes.

    If your more focused on earning extra money, provide people with a service. We all have something which we are very good at, some unique. Think about YOU, who you are, what you are good at and in what way do you think you could help someone. Your services do not have to be expensive.....!

    Well I have a trade behind me....weather dependant so winter doesn't help with cold and darkness! However looking to maximise my work and homers in summer,il be registering self employed so all above board, I can advertise and maximize income for helping save deposit plus big emergency fund plus have a new car fund even though won't need for I'm hoping at least 3 years. Any ideas how to maximize work and homers?

    Oooh I love trying to earn extra pennies. I work in front of a computer all day, so in the evening I now release my creative side. I dabbled at making jewellery, crocheting, and recently sewing bags/purses. Is there anything you have an interest in?

    Have you thought of looking at bar work, or even KFC if you are desperate - evenings is exactly the time of day they get busy and need an extra casual employee. Can you drive? Can you get a bit of taxi driving?
