Please no suggestions about adding a red light to the window - I’m rubbish at sex! I have 2 primary school children but have no back up child care ( husband works away a lot) so I would love to work from home around my children but still be able to be at home if Ill etc. If you make make extra money wfh please can you give me some ideas.

ooh! i'm really interested in the English thing. Have an English degree and recently did online tefl course (not as intensive as "proper" tefl at a college). I don't mind not using the tefl- sounds like it's the English degree that's important. I'm in a rut of apathy and need to get out of it! (plus we really need the money). Can I pm you?

Agree with matched betting. Stay away from casino until you're experienced as you will lose money.
I'm on ML and probably do it for about 1-2 hours a day and easily make 500/600 a month

Child minding?

If you have any art or design ability (doesn't have to be much) look at print on demand - t-shirts other clothing and household stuff on sites like Zazzle, TeeSpring, Redbubble, Society6 and Merch by Amazon.

You could set up as a virtual assistant which covers a lot of different skills - general admin, data entry, customer service, social media marketing, copywriting, bookkeeping.

You set your own rates and pick the tasks you feel suit you best.

Another one for Matched betting! I make about £500 a month doing it.

Freelance whatever-you-were before DC. I do this and use other freelancers to deliver some of my projects to keep my DC's nursery down at 2 days per week for now.
Use social media, get out to networking events in the evening, update/build a LinkedIn profile making very specific what you offer, be cheaper than the 'in house' or agency version of whatever you offer. Good luck Flowers

Ah, the holy grail

The bookies know full well that people make a lot of money out of the system but as they make even more money they don’t care to stop it

Lol - I can assure you the bookies damn well do stop you if they suspect you're MB!

misspopsicle · 11/09/2019 20:03

I'm also interested @Icantthinkofanynewnames - I can't seem to message you though (but I am thick!). I do have a degree though.

Whatever you choose to do, check if you get caught in the IR35 legislation coming into effect in April at the new tax year.

I think easier to get a part-time job outside the home, or a full-time job with childcare. Especially with school age kids.

WingingWonder · 11/09/2019 20:29

Depends where you live. My local saibuets and next have 10am-2pm shifts now, 4 hours no break/5 days 20 hours pretty good, about 850-9 an hour, 300 a month ish...

whatever you do, do not join any MLM! you will be their perfect target and you will lose so much money. be very careful when accepting friend requests on fb and insta. these MLM's are everywhere and so annoying. Like ordinary people dont get paid to work in an office FFS LOL!
Especially bloody younique.....i would rather tear my eyes out!
