making extra money

I am trying to save in order to buy our own home. Saving is going well but I want it to happen faster. I have been trying to find ways of making extra money. I filled I'm an online survey and got paid £4, then the other day I stumbled upon a blog post telling about the money saving blog post where I could earn £30 for sharing thirty tips for saving. I have since been reimbursed for both of these meaning an extra £34 has gone into the 'get a mortgage pot'.
I have also listed some items on amazon, I have sold one of them. After amazon fees I have made another £6, I haven't factored this into my extra income as I've not received the money yet but I have made a nice extra amount so far this month. I am going to organise more items to sell over the weekend. I will use what I have to make more money (within reason!)

How have you made extra cash recently? Do you have ideas I or others can try?

    I am looking in to renting my drive out. Have put an ad in the local Co_op and a men with a caravan is interested. Admittedly, no in rented. Rented and sub-leting drive might not mix, but a tip for other readers.

    I have done this in the past, cos I lived next to a school, where there was always a fight for spaces.

      That'd a good idea, I don't have a drive unfortunately or I'd give it a go!
      I hope it works out for you to rent yours out :-)

      Ty, I will get there, I just want to do it NOW! LOL I never have been very patient LOL
      Still I have a rough plan and that always makes me feel better, especially as I have a counter bar on my bank website so I can see how much closer I am getting to my end result with each little bit I add to the pot.

      I guessed that was what happened by the name :-)

      How do you get into tutoring? That's something I could do

    Ad on school notice boards; mention it on facebook to your local friends [word of mouth it will get round]; my school will let you distribute leaflets for a small fee.

    Ad in local shops.

    Good luck
