One of my favourite things is driving. Any idea how you become a courierer? Can only do evenings/weekends.

try this:

Just thought this thread should be resurrected!
I have signed up to EVERYTHING on it apart from the dodgy mlm stuff and the kleeneeze.
Need to do some more ebaying, but had a bad experience with someone making a totally unfounded complaint.
Thing is my entire income is made up of 'bits on the side' LOL
signed up for the dor-2-dor leafleting work and they sent me a form to fill in and can anyone tell me why they want to know how many kids you have and whether you are married. Surely its none of their business!

Found this site in 'The Week' magazine this week, you post a service you are offering (eg: Dog Walking) and then people who want that service will contact you. The site is http://www.whoocan.com/ - not tried it myself and if it's new I guess they need a certain tipping point for user numbers where it becomes busy/popular enough to work. Could be worth a try though?

You can also advertise for free on sites like http://www.Gumtree.com (there is one for all the major UK cities) - either under work wanted or under Business services. There are a few other similar websites where you can also advertise for free, eg http://www.freeexchange.co.uk/

P.S. This must be one of the most viewed threads ever on mse - nearly 250,000 views!

Don't knock Kleeneze! I know it's not everyone's cuppa tea but I earn 400 quid a month off it, part time! Well worth it.:D
