I recantally had a bit of a brake down and got a loan to go on holiday.. I dont regret doing it as it was the best time i had. The only thing now is i have lost my job as the company closed. I'm going back to college in september and although i have aplied for LOADS of new jobs i havent got one. I need one part time to go round my course i even tried agincys and temp work to get some cash.
I started doing the avon but noone seems to be orderthing and i have to pay for the brusures an to join up and if i dont get any commisiion im going end up paying them insted of thm paying me!
My problum is i have been having to take a overdraft out to pay off my payments to my loan.
I need to raise some extra chash to try and start making payments back to my loan soes anyone have any idears?
Im open o anything (please no funny comments like sell myself extra)

I don't know where Nick V lives, but there are so many Poles etc that there is no guarantee of the minimum wage.
In principle, however, it does sound a good idea.
I would also recommend you to talk it over with your bank. They make come up with a way to re-schedule all your credit, to make things easier for you.
Don't be frightened. After all, it pays them to get something back more slowly, than not at all.

If you got spare stuff consider Ebay or boot sales. If you've any spare cash, go into charity shops and look at cocktail dresses, party frocks, black or purple velvet (for the goth market). These are good resellers on Ebay. If your sewing is OK, get black lace and add frills to the velvet stuff, cuffs & collars - aim this stuff towards the goth / pagan buyer. Make sure your photos and descriptions are good, and your spelling. Auctions will attract more attention if your descriptions and photos are clear and correct. A dress you can buy for £3-5 may sell on Ebay for £15-20 if described properly. Look out for stains and burn marks and avoid buying them. Designer gear doesn't always resell well and what is fashionable one month will be a dead loss the next.
Good luck and I hope you find a job soon.

I pay the girl who cleans my house $20 an hour for about 3 hours a week. You could put up a sign at your local grocery store or something. I don't know what the going rate is where you live, but it's bound to be way more than minimum wage.
I pay a girl to clean my house because I'm a single guy. So there's your target. Single guys will happily pay to have their house cleaned.

Your spelling is diabolical. If that spelling was in a job application you would stand no chance in hell of ever getting employed. Sorry to say! These days some even have degrees behind the McDonalds counter!
Try the local pub for some evening or weekend shifts. They don't usually bother with application forms. And your grasp of written English won't let you down then.

You could try advertising in local shops offering an ironing service, house cleaner etc... also ask your local newsagents about a paper round.!!
Its not much money, but every bit helps. My 14 year old is up every morning delivering papers and earns £26.00 a week.
Also ebay is a good way of earning a bit extra.
All the best

Im a nurse that works for my local hospital on what they call the "nurse bank"
I can pick and choose when and what times /days i do my shift.
As long as you dont mind clearing up pooh,vomit ,blood etc and working hard and you have a kind caring and honest nature and would pass a Criminal Records Check then go for it.
Hospitals are crying out for non trained care workers to help trained staff .
Its very rewarding and fairly well paid.
Hope this helps .

You took out a loan to go on holiday and now you don't have a job and can't pay back the loan. And you can't find a job.
What a crock!!! Turn off the computer, dress presentably and go get a job at a fast food place. Stop trying to find some fancy, high paying position. Can't find a job, then mow lawns, collect aluminum cans, or some other manual odd job.
Stop living beyond your means and you won't be in this position.

Odd Jobs are the best. Usually By going around, word of mouth, or just use craigslist.com in your home town. Most people need help with gardening, and the pay is good since its tax free. But the best job is being a waiter. You can work late, as well as the TIPS are amazing, that is, if your a good waiter as well as working in a good enough restauraunt. And the best best jobs, are those "under the table" jobs. But they are illegal, and family is usually the people who answer thems.

I would like to know what they are teaching you in college - it took me ages to make sense of some of the things you had written!! Well here goes anyway, a couple of ideas, that do not need you having any vocabulary: car cleaning, house cleaning, dog walking, baby sitting (if you are old enough), posing as an artist model in painting classes. Hope that's a start for you and good luck.

ebay. i made 120 pound in 4 weeks. im sure if you cant afford repayments as you have no job they will help. try ringing them. they could freeze the amount you owe until you get an income. you may be entitled to some benefit too. check that out asap as you are a student
