Side hustles

[Frnc]

I write down everything I spend on a spreadsheet, to keep track of finances, and check my bank account every few days. So if there ever is fraud, it can be nipped in the bud. There was one about a year ago, several transactions over one day. Soon got that refunded. They sent me a new card, there was no risk to the actual account.

And remember the magic words "I wish to make a formal complaint" According to a family member who worked on an insurance service desk for a bit nothing would happen unless you used this phrase which then kicked in a number of legal procedures and would get you the attention needed.

I’m a cleaner at a school at the moment but I do pet sitting and life modelling. Hubby has a good job and skip dives too.

I have my Christmas markets and I have, in the past, done some academic proofreading, plus some copywriting and editing for a friend - no time for that now with my job, sadly.

I've always had some kind of side hustle. Back in the day, when we were still using dial up modems, online casinos hadn't quite figured themselves out, so I used to join up, then take advantage of the invariably large bonuses they offered to new customers, play that through then take all the winnings out. Couldn't do that now as you usually have to play through 1000x the bonus amount to be able to withdraw any winnings you've accumulated through bonus play. But it was good while it lasted.

I'm resurrecting this thread as we seem to be in a situation where more of us are 'diversifying' our income streams, for want of a better word. I've now signed up with Amazon Flex to deliver parcels as I left my high-paying but incredibly stressful and toxic job in January. I am working full time also - but this is a handy addition. I've also started freelancing to 'train AI' models.

Wow re reading this
Jansman ..miss him a lot
But I'm still on the car boots ..made me smile remembering the dog food I wrote about a few years ago
Had some more stuff dropped off yesterday jewellary box with silver in it that friend said she can't be bothered dealing with so take it .. among other things ... now I'm mobile again ill be setting up stall this weekend

Itsybitsy don't forget to deliver the parcels to the completely wrong address so people can post the pictures of the door online ..and ask ... whose got my parcel whose door is this
Daily life won't be the same if you do it right ..no detective work ..
And "training " AI ..I'd be interested in knowing how that goes it sounds like it'll be interesting
Alexa doesn't listen to me for music !

I ended up re-reading it too ... very interesting how the side hustles have changed over the last few years.

My one remaining **tiny** side hustle is coming to an end: I had accounts with a couple of betting companies online, and they offer a free spin of a roulette wheel or something each day. Prizes were often more during big competitions - the Olympics etc. It was never a lot, but I got about £50 a year, for a few clicks in the morning. They've sussed it now and once the World Cup is finished, I'll deposit money so I can take out the remnants - each account has about £2.50 in it and withdrawal is a minimum £5

Otherwise, it's about reducing my outogoings - I do petsitting, but only for my niece. Last time, she gifted me a Netflix code that gives me 6 months access, that was good!

That's just amateurish bonus points for doing something like this
