Need to earn £30pw more

What things could I do to earn £30 per week?
The best answer would be to get a part time job or increase number of hours of work. But until I have the opportunity to do that, what can do?
I've done car boots and sold everything that was sellable (is that a word?).
Anything I get from surveys, I put towards my dog's vet bills, flea protection etc.... please don't suggest surveys sites.

Thank you!

    Anyone you know will pay you to do their cleaning/ironing/washing/dogwalking??

    I assume youve done all you can the other way (in terms of saving an extra £30 a week?!)

    All else fails theres always the kinky call girl lines, a few hours on that and you should have £30!

    Are you creative at all? You could do things like making greetings cards to sell at car boots, craft fairs and online. I know this is spending money you don't have but it could pay off if you make a success of it. Just a thought anyway.

    Hi NinkyNonk

    There are quite a few online things you can do to earn that amount of money. Something which I'm considering doing myself to add to my portfolio is buying small items like memory sticks, wedding invites, dog chews, basically anything that easily fits in to a jiffy bag and doesn't weigh much. These items can easily be found in most £1 shops dotted around every UK high street.

    I have seen various people on ebay selling these items for £1.99 + postage and judging by their feedback score and comments, they're getting plenty of sales, so it's an area which is still proving to be very popular.

    All the Best
