Extra work to fit around kids?

I curently work 4 days a week and really want to make 2012 the year to clear my debts so have been thinking about upping my workload. My current place of work cant offer more hours. Whats the likely chances of finding work for just 1 day ( 9:30 - 2:30pm due to school run ) a week ?? My husband gets home really late so cant even really do evening cleaning and weekends are out due to childcare as well.

    Hi, how about a couple of private cleaning jobs? They pay about £10 per hour and most clients only want you once a week.

    If not how about spending the time trying to make money online, cashback/surveys/ebaying/writing rewiews, I know that can also be done in the evenings but with a family you don't always get time. Good luck :D

  • Hi :)
    I was going to suggest the same as newgirly :) I was also wondering if you could offer your services as a shopping lady for people? Cleaning and shopping errands? Why not put an ad in a local shop and see what happens?
    Good luck and Happy New Year :)
