5 Quick Money Making Tips

Hi Everyone,

Recently I posted 5 Quick Saving Tips, this turned out to be a really popular and much viewed post so I thought I'd share with you another post with some more frugal living tips, this time rather than money saving I am focusing on making extra money!

1. Sell, Sell, Sell - Have a good sort out, most of us have 'stuff', so much 'stuff' we don't know what to do with. The kind of 'stuff' will differ from person to person, but if your not using it, and your not going to - then SELL! I have recently started selling using local groups on facebook, mainly I have sold clothing that me and my partner don't use, this has been fairly productive. I have made a few hundred pounds and have managed to organise my a little more. You could sell on Facebook, Ebay, Amazon, or even locally at car boot sales.
2. Make, Make, Make - Are you crafty or perhaps your talented in the kitchen? Is there something that you can make to sell at a profit; have a look into things such as jewellery, knitted/sewn items, candles, there is so many projects out there that you could turn into profit given the right skills and target market. Check out www.pinterest.com for inspiration on hand crafted items that you could make to sell. You could sell your hand crafted goodies at craft fairs, on Ebay or even using Etsy.com
3. Surveys - Doing online surveys is another way to earn a couple of extra £££'s, these take a little while for the funds to mount up. If you have spare time then it could be worth a try. I am not the most patient person and have managed to earn just £50 using these over the last 2 years, but I really haven't been that proactive. Here's a list with some of the top survey sites to check out if your interested: Click here
4. Rent out your space - Do you have a spare room? Maybe a parking space you don't need? Failing that, some spare storage space. You would rent a room, parking space or even some storage space.
5. A bit on the side - This could be a weekend job or if you want something more temporary a Christmas or seasonal job. Casual work and odd jobbing is also another good way to make extra cash and you can work the hours you want and fit it in with your lifestyle.

While you were out..

Post is here!

I love coming home, especially when there's post waiting for me, and even more so when its freebies, samples and trials!

Above is what I received (I also got

Fussy pussy cats!

 

I have 2 cats who are very fussy! One is OK, she will eat most things, however the other is the real fussy one. So I have tried various different foods, and what I have found is that when you try to feed them 2 different meal, they don't play ball, they want what each other has and then one eats the others food, and the other realizes they don't infact like the meal that they left there's for. 

So any food ideally needs to be the same, I have tried high end food such as royal canin and it was very expensive, so felt like such a waste to have to feed it to one cat who genuine is fussy and the other who in other circumstances will eat pretty much any cat food.

I am  on a mission to find the perfect cat food (wet and dry), it has to be fairly reasonable in price and something both my girls will eat and ofcourse I would like something that is good for them and wont upset their tummies.

The above photo is a small selection of what we have tried so far and I will do a quick run through of each, i'll give a rating and a little review.
