    What do you mean by work - as in a part time job?

    i have looked all over the net for work at home to no avail. The only things i have seen are survey sites and they pay peanuts. The survey sites where you have to pay to join are a waste of time too as all they are a list of other survey sites and alot of those links are out of date. Stick to cashback sites like pigsback and quidco for the time being and survey sites like You Gov, ciao and opinionbar etc. I got alot of survey links from this site , just make sure they are available to uk or worlwide residents.

    A few years ago my friend was offered a chat line operators job due to her "SOFT" voice (read between the lines folks) apparently it paid very well but alas she declined due to her living with her parents :-)
    :D The glass is always half full, no exceptions !!:D

    :D I had a friend doing that to. I could have really done with the cash and gave it some thought but decided that I wasn't cut out for it. I would be too inclined to fits of giggles :rotfl:

    Have a look around the boards, there should number of threads regarding home working. MSE is packed full of information.

    Good luck.

    If you want a little bit of cash but can get out of the house and around the shops with your little boy you could look into doing some mystery shopping.

    There is a whole thread with advice and Mystery Shopping companies on the link below:

    But do note that some companies don't pay your NI for you and you might need to register as self employed. Don't worry. It's not as complicated as it might sound and the Inland Revenue are really helpful and will send an info pack out to you if you need one :)

    I do Kleeneze, and that works well with my kids, in fact my kids do more with regard to getting catalogues out than I do sometimes!

    Feel free to contact me if you want more information

    You could start by signing up to do surveys and cashback sites (daily clicks). I can't remember the posters name but she said between her and her husband they make about £300 a month for doing this about 3 hours a day. If you've got more hours available then even better.
