Does anyone know any good legit ways to generate some extra cash??
My wife works and has a pretty good job and I stay at home and take care of our 3 kids, but we need me to bring in some extra cash...
We've been trying to come up with something for ages with no success, and thought it might be time to ask around.. any ideas to help a fellow corn lover???

As a long term thing snake breeding could be a good cash flow device once or tiwce a year as long as you splashed a bit of cash to start with...
Thing is tho that would take a lot of time and I assume you are thinking more short term...
You can sometimes get jobs which are work at home ones...
Not very helpful but its the best i can come up with
Good luck!

homemade vivs or setups? seeing as the one you made for mojo was awesome you could maybe take comissions.

yeah i go with using your skills, you could set up a free website and get a paypal account and start selling bespoke vivs etc...might be worth a go....loads of give away furniture out there just begging to be adapted! You could offer full set ups....just a thought.

That's a great idea - you could set up an eBay shop for them too! My Dad built up an online business selling drum spares on eBay (his hobby) and he makes a decent living out of it, plus turning your hobby into a business is always a great idea - Good luck with your endeavours!

In the meantime get in the kids bedrooms and sell all the toys they don't play with anymore on Preloved or in your local paper

Then start on the attic and garage

Sell your old bits at boot sales. I do them in the summer and make about £100-£150 a time

Look into the viv building business Mick, there will be loads of people who would love a viv, built to their design.(I know I would, but living in a static caravan does have it's drawbacks!)Why not see what the response would be if you posted something on ebay about hand made vivs? It may just be worth a trial run! All the best with it. Ally.

In a few months I will be looking at getting a wooden viv as I want to move my Lucien out of its glass viv.
If you decide you want to check this out let me know.
