Working from home need help

TheNut

I work for one of the big utility companies as an installer. We have almost no work on at the moment. I work anything from 1 to 8 hours a day, depending if any jobs get sent to me. On the plus side, regardless of if I get 1 hour or 8 hours work I still get my 8 hours pay. On the negative side, I get bonus for my jobs, now there are almost no jobs I have lost about 40% of my wage this year.

I am trying to think of something I could do from home in my spare to boost my income. If I go to work, I could be home for 10am somedays, that gives me all day to do something, but I need something that I can stop and go back to, as there is sometimes a chance work might call me and I need to go back in.

Anyone got any ideas?

It'd make sense if you were using your existing skills.... what does an installer do?

I install loft insulation, but its in my contract that I am not allowed to work doing that outside of my normal job.

Hi there,

I am a big fan of conducting online surveys in exchange for cheques or vouchers! Honestly, when my friend introduced me to some of the website I was a bit unsure, but I have won!! and more than once!

They are literally only 5 minutes long but they are just great

Sign up to yougov.com, panelopinion, toluna and surveyfriends they are my faves!

Happy surveying & i hope you win some vouchers!!

Thanks I will have a look at those sites.
