How can I earn extra money today, not in a week?

I have also posted this in neurodiverse talk. So I have spent far too much and won’t have enough for my bills at the end of the month. I am just so rubbish with money. I go into Asda and in my head I have spent £30, then I get to the till and it’s £90. I only went in for Melba toast, have spent well over £200 yesterday. I looked for stocking fillers for my son as I’ve bought loads for my daughter, but kept seeing things my daughter would like instead. I keep doing this each day. I have to pay for their clubs before the end of the month, but won’t have enough. I have ADHD and I just don’t seem to be able to manage money. Is there any way I can earn money, working from home, like tomorrow? Not just doing surveys. Like can I call an agency and get given data inputting work to do for 10 hours or something? Does anyone know of anything I can do like now? Thanks in advance.

Is it all possible to take back some of the stuff you bought, and exchange it / get your money back/ that seems the easiest as you do not seem to have bought what you need, but rather have bought without thinking?

I am sure someone with better budgeting tools/skills can help you, but try and get help with this for the long term to help you.

You could take back some of the extra gifts you have bought your daughter and get a refund.

I have no idea how you can earn £££ very quickly but hopefully someone will be able to help and offer advice

Take back the stuff you keep buying and leave your card at home in future

I agree with previous PPs, the only way to correct this is to return the goods. It will relieve any stress or anxiety associated with this and will correct this now.

Agencies normally need to check your passport and other matters before they take you on their books, I doubt they're a short term fix.
