    You're always in the brown stuff, you usually take photos of it...

    take a look at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com in terms of how to save money, its helped me in the past loads.

    In terms of raising income, if you're being serious, then either go down the ebay route (take some tips on best how to sell stuff) or alternatively take all what you own and put in on red.

    I'll book up for Vegas then.
  • Options
    What I've always done instead of trying to boost income is cut out-goings, look at all the little luxury's I have and either cut down or cut them out for a period. That usually sorts me out over a two month period or so.
  • Options
    On the ebay front some people make money buy buying stock from excess stock comapnies and then sell it individually on ebay, I probablyt have a excess stock suppliers web site if you want it. But cutting down on expenses is a good foundation for a start
  • Options
    A simple one (that you're probably not going to like) is to cut down on trips to the pub. If you go 4-5 times per week, try to only go twice. Fags & petrol are also good ones to cut doen (if you can).

    Swap your mobile/broadband/electric/gas etc etc

    Got a motor? Sell it and get a cheap banger instead. Few years ago my mate did this - bagged himself 12k for punting on his Saab and bought a shitty second hand 206 for just over a grand. I'm sure it was a wrench to see it go, but needs must. Wiped all his debts out in an instant. Plus he was easier to get beers out of as a result.

    Part time bar work? preferably in a nightclub where you can skim 'tips' by charging for post-mix soft drinks and then not ringing them through the till (or so I've heard...)

    Any good with IT? Pimp yourself out locally by putting cards up in supermarkets - you'd be amazed how many people actually look at those cards - a mate of mine gets about five calls a week for fixing PCs that are ****ed (the O/S is usually beyond repairing so just reinstall Windows - 2 hours later - job done, 100 quid better off each time)

    Failing that, stop spending money you aint got. :)

    Even though WSS says you're poorly endowed, you're probably too young to have been mis-sold an endowment policy, but just in case:

    I got thousands back for my policies using their letter generator.

    I got thousands back for my policies using their letter generator.

    I did that and was told by L&G that our policy wasn't mis-sold. Two years later returned from a holiday to find a letter to say that due to another case they had re-examined ours and that, although not mis-sold, we were not given enough information. After a bit of wrangling we settled. They wanted us to take out another policy but for some strange reason we declined.

    right medders - show this bloody photo come on - it has to be a good 'un because Dicko wasn't happy when you mentioned it before. I think the charlton life board want to see it.

    RIght the car I have for sale is a FTO, a beast and would take a sensible price for it. No way can I sell my VW need it as its a diesel and I can fit my DJ gear in it for lucrative cash work. Money hard earned too as unlike mr Ketman I play everything not just tribal techno ;-)

    I have very early starts so barwork is a bit of a no but not out of the question, I have a short temper though. God knows what photo Medders has of me noone has already seen, my holiday pictures must be worth a few bob though.

    By trade what I do means I can do all sorts of private work but it seems their ain't much about at the moment. I have got an iron in the fire regarding something along the lines of what DJDD suggested.

    Carter,

    Thought about a lodger?

    Might go a good way towards paying the mortgage each month and there could be tax advantages too possibly.

    What BHP does the GTO kick out? I used to have a young lad working for me who had one and reckoned he got over 700BHP at the flywheel. He bought new tyres every month lol.
