as mrswhizzkid is going to be returning to college to finish her student nursing,i am going to be looking after the baby and generally being a house-hubbie.
i am therefore looking for any sort of work that i can do from home to earn a bit of pin-money.preferably something on t'internet/computer.this doesn't have to be a massive earner -minimum wage will suffice- and doesn't have to be intellectually stimulating either -the equivalent of putting letters into envelopes (or,indeed,putting letters into envelopes!) is alright - the only stipulation is that i can do it from home in between looking after rocky etc.
i've looked on the net but after trawling 20-odd pages of jobs they all seem to be pyramid schemes or run-your-own websites where you need money to invest and/or register.
i was just wondering if any HLers had any thoughts/insights on this sort of thing -sensible ones preferably, however as its a bit dull here today stupidity also welcomed!(as if you needed encouragement....)
home work?

And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

if i had a flexi-making kit i'ld be knocking out loads of blanks just for those of you who buy them but don't listen to them. 
once i've got a cd-burner (banking on one for my b'day -33 days to go) i'll be more than happy to spend all day weeding.however,with respect to that pastime and the spirit in which it is conducted,it isn't (and shouldn't be) a money-spinner.

On a related note, it appears my flexi is either SHOCKINGLY well kept (not likely) or it was made in the past few years, as evidenced by the flawlessness and lack of aging. This might mean BudKon are still going...
Anyone up for an expedition to Russia?

The couple of times I've been out, vinyl's pretty hard to come by, but if you find it, disgustingly cheap. The main Petersburg pressing plant in still churning out a couple of hundred titles, and when they bother translating the titles and band names the covers look brilliant. Picked up Pistols/Cure/Clash/Iggy/Waits/Ramones/Doors/Zeppelin in Russia on vinyl pretty easily, the pessings are a bit quiet, but hey, they were about 30p each new. Never seen any Sisters gear out there though? There's a good Punk/Goff/Industrial shop in Petersburg just off Nevsky called "Castle Records" in an old bunker. However the staff don't seem too fond of foreigners (Pathologically averse might be a better description). I'm trying to sort out a short trip back to Petersburg in Feb if anyone has any requests (or knows less frightening shops)Dark wrote:You get one, and I'll be paying you hundreds to make them.eastmidswhizzkid wrote:if i had a flexi-making kit i'ld be knocking out loads of blanks just for those of you who buy them but don't listen to them.

In a wildly misguided attempt to get this back on topic, can I suggest "The Amazing Dancing Webcam Man"?

only slightly better than scotty's naked/ironing/webcam suggestion in that there's no ironing involved......unfortunately,to get me dancing entertaininglywould require an infeasibly large amount of pay-per-viewers, to pay for the unworkably large amount of drugs necessary.RobF wrote: In a wildly misguided attempt to get this back on topic, can I suggest "The Amazing Dancing Webcam Man"?
