We are on basic/cheapest packages for everything / Don't have holidays...and have some family circumstances that aren't changeable

Any ideas?

My DB lives abroad and let’s his house out. I manage it for him and this saves him money from the estate agents who were a rip off and pretty hopeless anyway. I have a great company who deals with any problems extremely quickly and most months am required to do nothing at all for £250.

It’s a win win. Before the LL haters comment I also have a great relationship with the tenants.

pangolina yes, I use Clickworker and UHRS. I also use Figure Eight and Microworkers. Then there's the survey sites like Swagabucks, InstaGC, Branded Surveys, Valued Opinions, Prolific Academic etc.

I have a seasonal main job which leaves me with some time in the summer. Have started a little baking sideline, 5* food hygiene rating.

DH and I have also started a monthly supper club, with 8 people round the table for an inclusive price. It's going quite nicely and books up about 3 weeks in advance. I'd like to develop that a bit more.

For those who asked for information about mystery shopping-
So the biggest tip I can give you is to join the ‘mystery shoppers U.K. forum’ Facebook group, and sign up to all the companies listed on there. My favourite companies to do shops for are Proinsight, Mystery shopping LTD, Amber Arch, Marketforce, ESA, Retail Active.
Most of them are easy to sign up for, and the shops are self Assign so you just choose which you want to do! Each assignment will give you a brief of what to do- e.g go to the store, take a photo of the front and ask for help with choosing a product. You then have a report to write about how everything was in the store and how the customer service you received was, which take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on the assignment. The money won’t get you rich, but is definitely a good way of getting a second income or extra money for saving/spending.
I highly recommend joining Mystery shopping LTD as they have a lot of phone call assignments at the moment which I’ve been doing at home still in my pyjamas and have earned almost £50 from about 45 minutes of my time.

My Dp delivers for a burger place from 5 -9 And makes about 40 pounds a shift. He does 3 or 4 shifts. They always need drivers.

Unfortunately the money he makes just covers fuel to get to his main job Sad

Cannot pm from my app! Very interested in both of these - used to proofread when at school and in the years after, and then worked in the marketing department for a small company!

Maybe try signing up for a market research group agency. The work is sporadic but you can earn £40 -£80 for a couple hours if your time, just for giving your opinion on future ad campaign or new products.

Probably easier if you live near a big city though as you'd need to attend focus groups which are held face to face.
