Thanks, I will spend the next few days searching
I would of course declare all earnings and have been doing so for the last few years, albeit paltry amounts.
I am unsure how the govt can expect a family of 3 to live on so little per year, but that is another story for another day
I find that a rather intruiging comment.
What has it to do with the government how much you live on?0 -

I have worked for 360CRM making appointment reminder calls for the NHS.
Sensee is also another company that seems to be constantly taking on call centre staff from home.
And the jobs arent cushy, you still have to "work", turn up for your shift on time. You just dont leave the house.
I have also done web search evaluation for many years, another popular work from home choice.
There are also txt answering services. Lots of options, but like in the real world no one hands the infomation to you on a plate!! The number of times someone PMs me for info, I spend time replying and dont even get a thanks, its no wonder people are reluctant to share info!!
How much do 360CRM pay? There is no info given on their website. I don't want to be signing up to be paid pennies! ThanksMinimalist

Have you looked at Avon as an option? Not sure how much money people make on it part time, but every little helps.0

I have now applied to 360crm too.
I have looked at Avon, Body Shop, Jamie Oliver, Party PLan etc but there are loads of agents locally.2014 = New Year, New Me0 -

How much does your husband earn?
Post up your SOA and see if there is any wiggle room!
There us almost no chance of earning £500 a month at home, unless you are in a pyramid scheme selling or working 18 hr days (not 20 in the week). Much better to have guaranteed income from employed work.
Could you downsize? Are you claiming all the benefits you are entitled to? Could your husband up his hours?
There may be other ways to help you run your home.
The OPs target is more than achievable.
I earned over £900 last month, from a combination of a transcription job and web search evaluation, both work from home. I didn't work anywhere near full-time hours, about 110 hours for the month and I have no prior experience for either jobs.
I'm not the only one doing this. You just need to know the right places to look and this forum is a very good start. Another good place is Indeed.
Someone who could dedicate full time hours plus overtime could earn up to £1500 per month from home doing this type of work. There is more than enough work available online.0 -
I have completed me SOA and would appreciate any advice
