I did some security cover the other week at a ups depot near me. See if there's one near you. Apparently they do quite well. Just an idea anyway

DON'T GO TO PIZZA HUT!!!!! (Or that type of establishment!) They treat you like rubbish and make you pay for the pizza if you are a minute over the delivery time (so that the customer gets it for free)

thanks for that , i was looking more at parcel delivery type stuff , and wondering in the run up towards xmas if there was a bigger demand for part time work

best way to get free HGV training, is to join the TA - that's probably a bit drastic, though

I quite often see ads in our local paper for people to do the deliveries & collections for catalogues - anything similar up your way? (They usually want you to store stuff for them, though).

What about driving a taxi if you know someone with a cab or two and they want some relief / stand-ins, might be an idea ????

I used to delivery yellow pages and thompson locals... combined with a few leaflet drops for other people in the same area i could make £100 for a days work

Try White Arrow or Parcle Net they are the big 2 in home delivery. A mate of mine does it and he does quite well, he makes around £200 per week for 4 hours work a day.
