Well al cut to the point am low on money...
I had a paper round but the owners swoped just as I got it and they dint want one, Any way the money I was getting wasent worth it like most paper rounds!
I was selling cans of coke (coke-a-cola other people have got confused!)
But some one grassed me up after a week so I carnt do that :(
I carnt really find a job as such but I was wondering what other things I could do for a little bit of money mostly need for my holliday as my freind already has about £300 pounds and I dont have a penny!
thanks I no its a bit of a stupid post but any way al give it a shot.:D

P.S am 14 and living in the UK if that helps.

Got any skills you could use for busking? My cousin started busking when he was 10, during the school holidays - he played his saxophone for about 3 hours a day for a week in a relatively rich part of Sydney and ended up with about $500!

If I were you, I'd put in extra time at school and not worry about money right now. Once school is out and you have free time then go to the corner store and see if you can't stock shelves or something. If you are looking for immediate money, throw some things you own but no longer "need" on Ebay.

Good luck.

Any way thanks for your help and I think I will find some thing to do on a weekend might go round seeing if people what there cars cleaned but thats not really good till the summer.
