Sounds stupid but I am inbetween jobs and have decided to try and make some pocket money over the next 2 months before the new job starts so I can buy a Carbon Nomad. Any ideas or work going in the Berkshire area please do let me know.

GIOL

… sell yer pinky toes for research!

Rob a Post Office.

Or buy now, pay later.

Go work in a pub? restaurant? strawbery picking?

£2500 = £57.53 per weekday for 2 months, thats not far above minimum wage.

medical testing?

Bike shop, staff discount..
Get a cheaper bike ??

Spreadbet. But you could also lose that amount too.

male escort/gigilo?

ebay

Pretty much any temp office work ……

Drug dealing
Pimping
Car theft

Well actually, just go play GTA4 and you'll have all the ideas you need.

Clinical drugs trials?

Wait 'till you've got your new job?

Kidney

I have a foolproof method which will raise you at least £2500 every month.

I can divulge this secret to you for £8000.

You'll have broken even by month 4 then it's profit all the way…

I need to add that due to my profession and the fact I am joining a competitor that is the reason for the long break between starting with the new company BUT I am still on their books and getting paid so another job would good but was thinking cash in hand may be best unless having 2 jobs is easy to setup with the tax man?

If you want £2500 cash you need to earn £3000 gross surely. NMW is something like £6.60? So a 40 hour std week would net you £264 so more like 3 months work? So will have to be a full time temp job rather than part time job. So what are you gonna live on while you are putting all your earnings to pay for a bike frame?

do you not have living expenses?

Afaik the 2nd job is fine tho this depends on your current salary, if it pushes you into 40% tax band then you might not make as much as you thought.

Doesn't that mean you are on "Garden Leave" and so not sure what the situation is for getting a "proper" job. Cash in hand – are you prepared to work for immigrant pay? May take you a lot longer to earn your £2500! Unless you have a high value manual skill, such as a coded stainless welder, and even then you may find it difficult to find continuous work on that basis.

Think crime is your best bet. Or use the pay that you are getting?

I am already in the 40% bracket without the second job and since i am currently being payed by the new company and the wife is still working covering expencises is sorted.

I was hinting at the cash in hand type of work or helping a mate out delivering cars around the country or something but being an upstanding citizen and paying all my taxes I am not keen to go down that route and asking around there does not seem to be much work like this going anyway. Hence the ideas needed.

Imnot much of a betting man but ebay may be able to bring in some cash if i could find some things to sell.

Drug trials often won't pay more than expenses, regardless of risk.

Why not try being a drugs mule, if you're lucky you'll get a couple of trips somewhere warm & sunny, and the chance of having some hairy customs officer sticking his finger where the sun doesn't shine on your return home! If that doesn't work you'll be banged up in an overseas gaol until the noose goes around your neck!

Fluffer?

Be warned that classifieds and eBay, while able to bring in some cash, you will need to sell a LOT of kit to get near £2500. As an example I only got £375 for an Intense Spider frame in superb nick (a frame that as new sells in the mid £1Ks). It's daft things that generate cash. Rouleur issue 1 sold for £90. Rapha brochures that used to be sent to me for free. Sold one for £20 and raised about £60 for the 10 of these I had. But then US comics which supposedly have high values can be disappointing. Of course anything is only worth what it finally sells for.

I'm amazed that you haven't had a load of abuse for your postings though. The serial abusers must not have got home from work yet. Get ready to take some stick.

Happy to take stick as it at least gives me something to do all day apart from out riding

1961Bikie may have hit it on the head. Serial (self)abuse. Is there not a shortage of good quality man juice?

@amt27

What sort of money are you making on GIOL? How much time do you commit to it?

Rag and bone man.

The profession seesm to be making a bit of a comeback.

GIOL + 1

On about £4K so far but that's over about 2 years and doing it in bursts.

Online RPG's – sell characters/gold/items

You can make a £200+ for a level 80 character in WOW.

(I sold my account for £350 a year or so ago!)

What does GIOL stand for?

Have the lead off the local church roof, two birds with one stone..More seriously talk to any tradespeople you may know about some work or minicab..

GIOL = Giant International Overseas Limited??

Do you leave near anywhere touristy? They'll take on summer staff.

GIOL = Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes, link above explains all,

made an easy grand in 6 weeks, you don't need much of a bankroll, a few hundred maybe,
