free suppers to
Just after some advice or suggestions on raising some extra money maybe a longer term thing rather than just a quick bit of cash.
pizza delivery driver ! free suppers to
do like the idea of free food
really after something i can do at my leisure really not when i get told i have to if that makes sense
pimp. you get to do the telling 
ah, if i knew, i'd be doing it myself...
what are you good at doing?
do you play an intrument well enough to give instruction?
welding, milling, lathing etc doing private jobs? gardening for people, taxi service? deliver avon?
never an easy question otherwise everyone else would be doing it. always thought about the buying and selling on ebay, but so many people do it now
just seems pointless,
I'd like to make things and sell but have no idea what.
If you have any computer programing or web page development skills you can do some contract work with that. People post their needs/wants like in
classified ads and you do the work and get paid.
Some friends of mine have done it several time and they make a few hundred bucks.
I can do a few things really, Welding Tig & mig, Milling, Lathe, CAD Design on Autocad.
Useless at gardening, too much hassle with taxi and delivery stuff isn't for me as i'm home too late
dabbled with web design but i'm not very good at that. programming I have no idea. Only got the CAD as a possible with computer side really i think
what about making header tanks, fuel tanks, manifolds etc?
^ good idea!

if you can do stainless though...
What about buying and selling low price cars?
Buy a bargain cheap car at auction or similar, give it a good clean and polish, then sell it on for a small profit?
Or does that all sound a bit dishonest!?

Que quattro?
I have always managed to make a bit on cars when stuffed for cash, its easy waste your time though so beware. You have to make a choice really go for
high gain on something unusual or try and do a load of small stuff.
As an example I got a mint rangerover with Turbo techniques conversion with a blown gearbox for £1000, changed the box which cost £100 but struggled
to sell for £1500, the engine was worth that alone, all the effort was not worth the money on this one in my opinion.
But on a more positive note got a XJS for £1500 with no MOT due to front wheel bearing, changed that £30 + MOT £40 and sold on for £2,700 a few weeks
later.
But if you want to deal with cheapies then small diesel cars can make a couple of hundred, I picked up a 306 XNDT last week with an MOT failure sheet
for £100, a few bushes and track rod ends. This will probally make me £500 as the parts have cost £70 and took 1/2 day to fit.
If you have time on your hands go down the auction, some stuff is pennies, my mate got a 98 TDI Discovery 2 months ago for £300, its mint, easily
worth £1k on Ebay. He however defeated the object by giving it to his wife as it was better than the car he had so sold that one on, still for a
profit.

This might sound a bit flippant, but I'll bring it up as no - one else has....
You could try .....
......getting a job?
Mark, I always wondered if the restoring cars like on Wheeler Dealers was a viable option. By the sound of it it's a case of getting the right car to begin with

been trying for 2 months now. I would like something where you just sit at home in the back garden, and wait for the cheques to arrive. I think it's called retirement. You do need to eat catfood once in a while though, at least that's what they lead you to believe.
I do have a full time 40 hr a week job just looking for extra income, i have though about a second job but not keen on that as it means commitment of my time on a rota
