Need extra cash whilst on mat leave - options?!

Hi

I’m on mat leave and get paid stat pay until July, I don’t want to return to work early as really loving this time being a first time mum and am exclusively breastfeeding.
However we are struggling financially, have been keeping a diary of spending and really can’t cut back anymore on anything, I’m already restricting our grocery shop as that’s the one main variable I can change but despite all attempts we’re in a deficit of hundreds every single month so need some funds. Has anyone done anything for extra cash whilst looking after baby? Must be some options out there??
I live away from family and hubby works 7 days a week every week as self employed so no childcare and hubby doing all he can to bring in extra funds but need a solution....if there is one!!!

Yeah matched betting is a good way. I'm pretty rubbish at it and don't understand it all but I'm already over £300 up and I've only been doing it a month.
There's people who make a fortune from it.

Did you follow a guide or anything to start with the matched betting? I found the guide I read pretty confusing so need to try again!

@bubbaba I'd try lots of free trials to be honest. Start with profit accumulator. They'll walk you through your first few offers. If that doesn't 'click' there are lots more guides out there.

REMEMBER CASHBACK! It's a good secondary income from matched betting. Quidco, Top cashback, and Couponarbitage are the ones to check Smile
