Get a bar job - cash in hand. Work 7 or 8 till close, be out by midnight, do that 4 or 5 nights a week, and your laughing. Make sure you get it cash in hand tho as otherwise it's pointless really.... You might only get £20 a night, but 5 nights a week is £100 a week, and thats £400 a month

If you need the money then you need the money tho mate... Depends what your driven by Sounds to me like you don't need the money, hence the "wouldn't get out of my armchair" comment - but there are many people out there that that £400 a month extra would save their asses....

If you've got the vehicle to do it in, look into mobile car valeting at the weekends - it's a lucrative business

Most people round here just do deliveries for the local chinese or kebab shops, theres one chinese that pays £70 - £90 per night for a few hours driving. Thats what i would recommend, but it would be best if you had an old run around instead of using your Cossie or something lol.

Just a word of warning about running deliveries for takeaways - technically you have to upgrade your insurance to business class 1 (I think) - heard about a chap who got stopped by the law on one of his deliveries, wasn't even speeding (pulled because it was a modded car, I think) but got done for driving without correct insurance and I think they threw the book. Just be careful on your rounds!
