4 on, 4 off shifts. What could I do in spare time?

Evening All!

First post here so apologies if it's the wrong place..

I currently work 4 on, 4 off (2 days, 2 night 12hr shifts).

I enjoy my work but would fancy earning a small bit of extra money during my time off. Doesn't have to be a lot and even if it's just one extra day a week it'd break up the 4 off!

The problem is, I have no idea about what I could do? I wouldn't have the same 4 off every week so couldn't commit to the same days.

I thought about driving for a local taxi firm for a day when my days off fall in the week, any thoughts?

Am open to anything but at a dead end. :o

Thanks!

    I have a lot of down time and I do courier work, removals, house clearances, car boots, mobile car repairs, basically anything a man with a van can do. (Obviously need a van first)Can you get a few shifts in a pub? Are you any good at cleaning?
