If your looking for extra work i would defo recommend doing it in something you enjoy...ie working on cars, football or sports in general or even something like bar work as somep people love the interaction with people

I go through phases of cleaning out my garage after I've picked up bits and bobs that I 'might' need... so with weighing in scrap and selling parts that I have lying about that I dont need, it nets a few hundred quid a time.


Cheers,
Grant

for someone that hates paying tax so much tony, you've very keen that everyone else makes their contributions obviously it's the right thing to do and if not done could lead to a large bill and trouble.

An office job. Do you mean you wear a suit and go about asking businesses for 'protection' money?

I might have to go and try and pick a up few shifts a week in a bar or even in the local MacDonalds if prices of things continue to climb as they are as I just won't be able to afford my house and it's bills if I don't!

what's the difference between working from home, and working in a small office then rob? obviously getting there may cause you anxiety, but is there no way around it? it's obviously simplifying it thinking of agrophobia just being a fear of open spaces so if you go in the back of a van you will be alright, but is there nothing like that to be done?

there's plenty of things that could be done from home, for example website development. i taught myself some html and javascript programming a couple of months ago when i was laid up with a broken collarbone.

You could answer questions for AQA - surf the net and get paid for it.

I worked 2 jobs for 3 years or so, doing a 9-5 then 6:30-12 in a bar 4 nights a week. Paid off a lot of debt and got money together for my car, but I was dog tired all the time and lost most of my social life.
