    Man I am soo skint:(

    I need to raise £112 to get to the Cropredy Fest on the 13th Aug... or I can't go see my fave band Jethro Tull:(

    I have sorted out a load of stuff to try to sell at Car Boot on Sunday morning... the remaining stuff will go onto e-bay.

    But anyone know anymore ideas for making cash? (legally:p )

    Any help welcome:)

    Lots of Love Clairexxxx

    have you an account on ebay? if so, log in and click on seller and they talk you through how to set up an account. And that's about it! It's a bit scary at first, but keep everything plain on the setup and you'll only be charged about 20p by ebay!

    you could always move to amsterdam for a week or 2 and set up shop in one of those sexy red windows. :)

    Claire, Paul, I am also a HUGE Jethro Tull fan. I've been isolated for years with no friends that understand just how genius the band is.
    I'm looking forward to meeting peeps of like mind to watch Ian prancing about with his flute. :)

    Hello blueyedboy, and welcome :)

    I could do with raising some money too. Need around £350 by the 19th :eek: Got double shifts at the pub everyday up until then, so not much free time. Think I have one afternoon off, and I was wondering, how profitable is busking realistically? I've always thought about doing it, but now my financial situation is pretty desperate, so if theres any chance of making some money I will give it a go. Anyone got any advice on how to go about it??? Or any other quick money scams?
