What Else Do You Do To Make Extra Money?

Besides online chats and work from home?
Does anyone have garage sales/lawn sales, rather than just posting on eBay or joining forums such as myLot?
Before I ever knew about computers/the internet or money-making sites, I was always the little girl with the cake and lemonade stalls, or selling my old books, toys and clothes etc in garage sales.
I continue to do this, as well as making clothes to sell at our local weekly markets, and occasionally if I travel to Sydney to stay with family, I will buy a stall at some of the markets I frequent.
So what do you guys do, if anything, besides general work to make some extra dollars - that doesn't involve computers or work from home?
And what are you saving up for?
Holidays? House or Car Payments? or just to have more financial security?
Please share, Malyck.

Well, before I know anything about computer, I used to be a private tutor for some kids and teach them English and school work. I earned quite nicely when I was in college and I was saving money for my daily expenses. But now I just don't want to do it anymore, it's really dreadful to have to deal with kids and they are not listening. I prefer to learn less on the computer but have a peace of mind.

I know what you mean.....I think that technology today is too much and people forget where they came from.....
My family and I just had this conversation about a week ago....do you remember string figures? or sigmund and the sea monsters? or maybe even Kroft Superstars.....it's hard to believe that people have to forget the good stuff and worry about their computers going down or crashing.
I like the computer, but I also like simplicity.

Well, this summer I put leaflets out into peoples letterboxes for gardening work and I managed to get a little work from this. I have done plenty of car boot sales and market stalls but I am not to keen on these they are very anti-social (the hours that is)
Apart from that I think that is about all really.
I want to go to Dominion Rebpublic for a holiday later on this year I hope.

Wow,congratulations on having your leafleting pay off =]
Around here I'm sure you'd get lots of gardening work, the locals seem pretty incompetent =P lol
I'm probably a fan of anti-social hours, if I can watch my stall and read a book until I get a potential customer, it's worthwhile for me =P
Well goodluck with your proposed holiday!
