How can I make extra money?

I'm a single parent and work full time but don't receive any child support. I'm really struggling to make ends meet at the moment, despite cutting out luxuries and money saving as much as possible (thanks to some great ideas and advice on MSE).

What I really need is a way of making a bit of extra cash. I already work full time so it would have to be something I can do at home in the evening when DS is in bed (he's only 1 so is in bed for 7pm). I can't do anything that involves being outside the house (like Virgin Vie parties) as would need a babysitter for DS, which would cost more than what I'd probably earn!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

    At the top of this board, and the top of the mortgage-free-wannabe board, there are two or three threads full of money-making suggestions. Another thread on this board is the Olympic Challenge Take Two - you'll see people there reporting £2 earned, or £5, or £20, whatever it is - Amazon, internet surveys, all sorts of things. Take a look at those and you'll be surprised what you're able to do from home in the evening. All the best

  • Surely the above is spam?? My advice would be to visit the Up your income thread. I did and have been working through some of the ideas on there to make some extra pennies.
