We were in the same position a few years ago mate, my wife had to give up work as she only just earned enough to cover the childcare costs once we had two bundles of joy. Without willing relatives nearby its a nightmare. ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |

Peel em!

Mmmm, lets have a looksee for some free web templates My mrs said the other day that the local council are looking to contract out to a cleaning contractor to go around cleaning oap's houses.

Speedy. Another thing that people are often looking for, although its harder to do, especially being a bloke, is some kind of service before and after school to look after children to fit in with the parents working hours ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |

Also home care type jobs, the visiting ones, they do a little shopping, cook a meal, etc etc Most of those are agency things that will fit around your available hours. My wife, who is a nurse bless her, has spent time doing dinner lady jobs, dayglo lil jobs ( she still does that one at the school our youngest goes to ) Perhaps not as profitable as your cleaning idea, but still there none the less should you get stuck ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |
