How to live when you want an extra couple of quid at the end of the month.

Hello all.

Please rate my lens and leave your comments.xxx
I hope you enjoy my lens ,a blog from a stay at home mum of three.

I have many interests and a bad sense of humour.But even though I would love to leave all money alone.We can not live without it.

Many of us have to though.

Always a bill left with nothing to cover it.Or an emergency that wasnt planned for .All of a sudden you are in the red and losing all feeling of hope.

Now I have found a lovely group of people at Money saving expert.I love the bones off them.

In a few weeks I have hope back again.

I would like to put together a group of lenses that are all connected and all show different ways of saving,eearning and stretching your cah.Wether it be for a holiday,a bill or rainy day.

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

Because when I wanted to find out what sites where out there.Or where to go .I had to do a lot more leg work as there were just scraps of advise all over different networks and forums.

Please join me.There will be general ideass.And weird and wonderful ways.I promise.

Some examples of what I have been doing myself are.Baking my own bread.Growing some of my own veg.Casshback sites and reviews.I am an average(academically) stay at home mum.And I do not feel there is anyone who makes it eassy to find without tallking to you as if you already know how to do what they are doing.

I promise you will have fun and make friends as well as cash.xxx

Review sites.

Extra cash from home.Without putting your own in first!!



Ciao is one of the main review sites.It is well known and is free to join.And is offering a quid extra for joining at the moment.

You simply register ,making sure you activate your email they will send .That verifies your email as real.

Simply review what you wish.You can rate other peoples reviews also and in turn earn cash when people rate yours as helpful.

Its only a small amount of cash but if you do what I and others have done and join a few.Do them at whatever speed suits yourself.You will soon build up a stash of cash for that much wanted item or just help pay for Christmas or holidays.

I have been doing this and it really keeps the grey matter flowing aswell.I tend to write about things I am interested in ,so it comes across in my review.
I have even made friends whilst doing this.and am sure you will too.

DOOYOO

This review site is a bit easier to understand and pays back in vouchers or cash depending on target you aim for.

It is quite a well paying site and most are happy with this.You recieve points for your review.And then points every time someone rates your review.

If you make a good review the points earn themselves.And as people get to know you,you will recieve regular visits.

here is the link to register.

Cashback and Pay to click sites

Some sites pay cash,others vouchers.

All of these sites are commonly known within the network of people who already earn cash this way.
Some sites have more clicks available than others.

You basically get paid for using a search engine such as Kelkoo.Look something up and go through to a retailer.This is tracked and the cashback site get paid.Then you in turn are paid.

Mostly this money can take a couple of months to validate and pay up.But you have to be in this for the long term anyway.

But as I have been Told.Beginning of September is still early enough to have some extra cash for Christmas.
The idea is to join a few or more,and build them all up by doing a few a day or so forth.

I do as much or as little as I like.Some even earn extra money on referrals.So if you have friends that want to make extra cash,refer each other.You will all make cash.

Here are some of the sites I know of.
