Are there many people on here that have full time job and also a part time job or other income to top up their wages?

I dont get paid as much as I'd like at work for doing 9-5, monday to friday so been thinking of ways to make a bit of extra money in my spare time to top up my wages. Only thing is I dont fancy working in a bar as that would use all of my free time up at evenings and weekends!

Thought about trading on Ebay but wouldn't know how much work that would involve or what I could sell

What do other people do for a bit of extra cash?

Apart from renting their bodies out

yeah it may be quitting time soon because i just cant be arsed to work as hard as every one else, im the most experienced in the shop and expected to help the newbies etc etc and only get £40 at the end of the month. but the way i see it, its a free season ticket to watch town, but they are nothing to ooohhh or ahhhhh at now. so im caught in 2 minds, i just get knackard at the end of the week, working mon-fri and thne all day sat, feels like ive wasted my saturday. also like tonight, i work til 4/4.30 then go to work at 6-11, and its too much, rather be at home chilling on msn or ps2 or watching a film.

its alot harder to pick up bargains on ebay these days, too many people trawling around on it. Car parts sell well in my experience, only thing with these is postage.

yeah, a good idea is to go to charity shops, buy designer shirts etc, and then sell them on ebay and make a bit of profit, you can buy a shirt for about £2 and they normally sell for about £10, nice little profit can be made

I valet cars outside of my part-time job

Money is good, but its hard work if you want the customer to come back

Obviously not overly busy right now due to the shitte weather, but last summer I was doing 5-6 cars a day outside of working



eBay used to be a good idea, but majority of things go for over the top prices.
