Who has taken an extra job?

  • Hiya

    I have just taken up a job in a lapdancing club to try to become debt free, unfortunately its no good for men but if you dont mind your girlfriend being oggled its well worth the money! I have only worked for 3 nights so far (still very new!) but have earned £420 profit (cash in hand after paying house fees) which isnt bad for a few hours "work". Think I'm lucky as the place I'm working is classy and not at all seedy.

    The bf was against it at first but soon came round when I told him the extent of my debts - £13,000 - plus I dont have a proper day job as just retrained as a plumber and and doing unpaid work experience.

    Also did Avon for a year which is time consuming and a bit of a chore at times!prob made about £1000 in a year. I do mystery shopping also, and just signed up to a model managment company so hopefully get some modelling work as well! Also applied for Weakest link (waiting for reply!) - not really a job but theres the chance for a couple of grand tax free!
  • I do 3 hours a week in the evenings as a lecturer for a college. Pay is £30 per hour (before tax NI) etc and I really enjoy it as well which is a bonus!!
  • I work three nights a week delivering pizza.

    It has been a total godsend - even though some days I do 16 hours over both jobs.

    I have one day a week off, stops me going out on weekend night and I get free food.

    Oh, aye and loadsa tips!

    I have done dance classes since I was four and I am lucky enough to be a skinny bird with reasonable, erm, puppies.

    A lot of my friends dance but my B/F is v v old-fashioned and would not entertain this at all.

    I can't see the prob myself as there is no way the punters are allowed to touch you and the power is all yours.

    Since starting my DFW quest I have got a cleaning job, I do mystery shopping, sell on amazon and sometimes ebay and now I hope to have a new one transcribing for an inventory company. All this is done in the evening or at weekends around my normal job, my family and my degree course (graduate next year - will be a primary teacher) I'm ususally knackered but I have paid off £10k of my debts in less than a year.
    There is work out there - just go and find it.
    Good luck
