Ask for a pay rise

Loveduppenguin · 27/05/2025 18:50

For me I do overtime at work.

IndigoBluey · 27/05/2025 18:51

I think I would enjoy being a mystery shopper. Does anyone have any experience? Or companies to sign up to? Part time eve job possibly OP?

Summersunshinebliss · 27/05/2025 18:58

Oh a mystery shopper sounds good. I could have a look for evening work in my area. Self employed so a pay increase and extra hours aren't possible. A good declutter and selling online is something that I can do.

Check all your utilities and make sure you are getting g the best deals

Get rid of any service you pay for and dont need .

Thanks will check our bills and see if they can be reduced. I think my mobile might be out of contract now.

While working in retail, I met an elderly couple who asked me if I would be interested in coming round and cleaning their home once a week.
I decided to do that.
The job was one I took pride in doing and it wasn't heavy work and I got paid very well.
Another job I did and again it wasn't because I responded to an advert , it was one neighbour recommending me to a friend of hers and I ended up walking her dog daily while she was recuperating from a major operation.
I've also done cat- sitting and was paid very well for that too.
It's worth it to to people to have someone that they can trust and that their animal likes.

These are very small ideas OP, but I've found that whenever you're working, even in a small job, it gets you out and people take notice of you which sometimes results in you getting offered or being referred to for another job, so don't stop rolling!

Sell your body/sex?

Consider house sitting.. I just made 750 for 3 weeks overnight stays. During the day I just did my normal working hours.. Self employed also.

Sign up for the free option on Care.com
I am a cleaner and they wanted a long trip.. But make a pet care profile on that site - for free - and add on any pet experience..
Free members can only message free members but honestly the pay option really doesn't make much difference on getting customers ime.

Just don't fall for an MLM scam like this OP 🤣

Summersunshinebliss · 18/06/2025 09:21

@LivingDeadGirlUK sadly 😥 I couldn't apply anyway due to the lack of discipline 😪 as evidenced by my weakness to bread cheese and wine Grin
