I found a great source for extra income

I check out Craigslist pretty regularly, and there is a section for employment. I usually click on *household* and have picked up some good money doing odd jobs! One lady paid me 10.00 an hour to fold laundry! She had piles and piles of washed laundry, was 7 months pregnant, and just couldn't keep up with everything and was overwhelmed. I folded laundry for 4 hours!!! But, an easy 40.00!!
Now I'm working on a reorganization job. Helping a couple get moved in and their house put in order, garage cleared out, etc. This job pays VERY well and they gave me a two week window to get things done. I'm hoping to have it done in 5-6 days. The pay is the same....so the faster I get it done, the faster I get my cash

Several other jobs I have turned down due to circumstances, or just not a good fit for what I wanted to do.

There is always work out there for those who are creative and quick thinking.
I love odd jobs like that I also find I end up with lots of intresting items as many times folks who are clearing out garages and sheds are happy for me to take stuff away. Have made tons of money from the yard sales with others stuff. Get paid twice once to haul it away and the second time at the yard sale. I price things really cheap so they go away and when I post a yard sale in the paper folks remember my cheap prices and come back.

I love Craigslist. There's mostly junk on it down here, but back home I got a few promo jobs and dh did some carpentry, painting, and landscaping. It was nice to make some cash here and there on the side.
