in Debt-free wannabe
Is it possible to make £10-£20 quickly over this weekend? OH's car (and mine) are running on fumes at the moment and OH needs to get to work Mon/Tue/Wed (gets paid on Wed).

Seeing if DD want to buy £20 WHS vouchers from us, but any other ideas?

    could you go and buy something from whsmiths and get the change? I know that sometimes companies give vouchers back if its over a certain amount but othertimes they give you change?
    Car boot or suitcase sale tomorrow somewhere near you?
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    Would your DD be able to lend you the £10 til Wed & maybe in return you could treat her by buying her a little something with the vouchers?

    Thanks Sally....I really need at least £15 and I'm sure they would only give that back in vouchers.

    Don't think there's enough time to get a decent amount of stuff together for a boot sale, but will have a look.

    That's ok. We all know the feeling & it can be quite depressing at times. It will get easier sooner or later,good luck!

    been there a few times!! If you can find stuff to ebay - even CD's or old mobile phones, think 'that's the equivalent of the house insurance paid' or 'that will buy £20 worth of petrol'

    Are you signed up to Quidco? It all helps, even if it is just a few quid each month.

    I think I signed up to Quidco a while ago, but haven't the foggiest what to do. What about AQA are they still recruiting does anyone know?

    Don't worry about AQA....just checked and they aren't recruiting in UK at the moment.
