Stuffing Envelopes....etc

willing2learn_3

Hi everyone

I've just been chatting to my mother. She works from home doing admin based jobs, but a lot of the time it's just answering the telephone. I suggested she find other ways to boost her income....like stuffing envelopes, etc.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this subject. My mum likes something to do with her hands, it woukld help her cut down on smoking too.

I remember a friend, many years ago used to do something with electrical components and got paid by a company for doing so. It was really basic and she did it while watching tv. Something like that would be great for my mum to do.

If anyone has any ideas on this, or knows of any companies to contact i'd be really grateful. Thanks

Hi, I used to do hoisery work (packing tights) from home, not sure if there is much UK hoisery left now though.

I don't think there is a viable work at home job stuffing envelopes. Machinery makes it easier and cheaper to do. Any site i have seen offering such work has been a scam i'm afraid.

my neice used to have a job packing childrens balloons from home, used to help out sometimes. not a bad little job really, maybe try that road instead of envelopes

The other problem with 'stuffing' things is if your mum smokes (as you say) then everything will smell of smoke and her employers may not be happy with that

If you can find it, it's rubbish pay - better and more reliable to do daily 'clicks'
