just a quick question, is it hard work doing Avon, am interested in doing Avon to earn a few extra pounds a month and how much do you earn on average??

I helped a friend recently by collecting her order forms for her. It took me 2 hours walking round and collected 40 orders for her but 14 of them were blank. Meaning they didn't want anything. She says February/march/April are always quiet months.

Could you pm me some details about this?

Ive done this kind of writing before (im published too ) but wouldnt mind another outlet for it

Thanks

One nice little earner I came across was online surveys for Pinecone Research. You have to find one of their elusive banners to sign up - it isn't possible to appy for membership. They pay £4 in luncheon vouchers for surveys completed, and occasionally I get products to test, and get paid another £4. On average I make around £12 a month - not a fortune but I save them up and when I've got around £24-30 I have a 'free' grocery shop - Tesco's and Morrisons (as well as lots of other places) accept them.
They're about the only genuine company I've come across for this sort of work and they always pay up very promptly. They take confidentiality about product concepts you review / products you test very seriously, so you have to sign a confidentiality statement.
If you get a chance to sign up for them - definitely do so!

It can go quiet sometimes - I had a couple of months when I had nothing, then quite a few during Nov and Dec. One was a longer survey - took about an hour - but I got £12 in vouchers. An easier way to make money than stacking shelves in the supermarket! Wish they did more of those. Past couple months I've averaged 3 a month. Just hope it continues - am always careful to do the surveys the day I get notification - they keep a close eye on ppl's participation. Don't give up on them - am sure it'll pick up, and it's so notoriously difficult to join Pinecone, its worth hanging on!

Hi, Don't know if your sorted financially yet but there is a relatively new party plan company around called Stringfellows Retail, we are a fashion brand who sell handbags, watches, jewellery, lingerie, we do also sell adult toys but they are optional as they are listed in a seperate catalogue. we are paid upto 35% commission on everything we buy or sell, and we are the best party plan company out there at the moment for our income plan. I only joined in Oct last year and I am loving it, I've been to Las Vegas and Stringfellows Retail paid for it, I've also been to the Stringfellows Club twice now, and had my very 1st lapdance bu a really buff pole dancing guy, got to be worth a look!let me know if you would like some info and I will get some sent to you!

You can become a mystery shopper and the assignments range from buying an item in a high street shop to going for a meal in a pub. You then fill out a questionnaire and you are paid a fee for the assignment as well as getting your meal or purchased item for free!

I joined www.retaileyes.co.uk and have done a couple of assignments for which I have been paid.

Try online surveys at http://www.opinionbar.com/ (I can confirm this one works as I have had payouts from them before).

No quick miracle fixes I'm afraid but *every little helps*! :T

i thought you had to be qualified and registered to childmind??

have just found out that my local Sainsburys are holding a carboot sale in aid of comic relief - i think you pay £5 to set up a stall and then the rest iof money you make is yours, so im thinking of doing that as we have quite a bit of stuff to sell - a pram/pushchair,side table, food proccessor, george forman rotissorie, lots of glass vases and ornament that we have no where to put, photo frames, baby toys and maybe more stuff if i have a good look around the house!!
whats the rule, if you havent used it in over a year get rid!!

also was thinking about cards and candles etc but im not very artistic so thats putting me off a bit - although i do think i would enjoy it!!

ill let you know whether i decide to do the carboot
(hope i did the quote thing right)

Hi dolly you do need to be registered to child mind and from jan this year you had to be level 3 qualified in childcare both of these are easily done but it takes a minimum of 2 years for your qualification at up to 6 months depend on your loacl authorities registering processes to be come a registered childminder. I would say the carboots or ebay oreven locl shops is the way to sell off anything you don't need I've made £150 selling un used items that cluttered up my kitchen cupboards and i only did 3 day auction on ebay!
