Stay at home mum wanting to make some money!!

Hi, i'm a stay at home mum with 2 little boys aged 4 and 2. We could do with some extra cash coming in but with 2 small boys it is difficult to get a 9-5 job that fits in with our routine and putting them both in nursery costs a fortune, we are already spending too much on nursery fees as it is. I was wondering whether anyone had some ideas on some money making schemes from home that i can fit around the children?? I have access to a computer all day so was thinking of something i could do on that? Or anything else really?
Thanks

    Hi Charlied

    I'm in a similar position as you. I have 2 girls aged 6 and 3 and am looking for extra ways to make money.

    I write reviews on Dooyoo, Ciao and Epinions. I know they won't make you rich but the Dooyoo one will actually pay in Amazon vouchers which I save up for christmas, last year had £60 and got some great deals for the kids. Epinions pays in dollars and will only pay out at $100 if you dont live in the US but they have some great offers, like write 10 reviews and get paid $10. I'm sitting on about $66 or so with that. And Ciao wont make you rich but i'm on £100 just now.

    I can send you the details of the sites if you want, just PM me!

    Baybee1984 - it really doesn't take much time really. Obviously on these sites, you are encouraged to read others' reviews and rate them, but that doesnt take much time. And as for the reviews I write. I post the same review on all 3 sites so i only have to write one a day. I tend to write all of mine in word, save them and post each day. I use sunday as my writing day, although i have been known to stay up late at night after the kids have gone to bed. I've been a bit lazy so far this year so am in the process of catching up with all my reading! But with doing that, others are reading my reviews and rating them and i'm getting paid for it!

    If you want the details of the sites, just pm me and i'll let you know them x
