Hi all, got myself into a bit of a pickle this month with my finances. Long story but expensive flat and my flat mate moved out leaving me with all the bills to pay on my own!
I have a job which pays £25,000 + commission but this isn’t enough to get me through the month. My credit rating is dire as I admit that I abused my credit card last year during a short period between jobs so loans and credit cards are out.
I don’t have any children so it’s just me and DP (Who also works but a very complicated situation means he isn’t able to contribute much at the moment) to provide for.
I have posted an ad on gumtree offering babysitting but does anyone have any other idea?
I used to work to management level in restaurants so was thinking of trying to find some waitressing Work. I’m pregnant though so i might not be the most desirable.
Any ideas?! I’m feeling pretty desperate!

Would you be better placed putting extra hours in at work as you're commission based rather than scrapping coins together and selling lower items on eBay?

Maybe sign up for Audible and get a free audio book on sales for a few new techniques and see if you can dive in and increase your bonus this month?

@politicalbiscuit yes, I am trying to put in the extra effort at work to increase commission. It is hard because it’s a new desk for the business in a completely different direction. Taking its time to get going but I have made a few really good placements last month and more lined up for next so I am getting there.
I really need something to go alongside this and not detract from it.
