Does anyone know of a trusted site/source for random odd jobs - data entry/admin etc?

I’m on a planned three months off between jobs and am a. a bit bored and b. have a weird guilt for not having any money coming in, even though it’s part of the plan.

Something to fill the time and use my brain ideally. Or any other ideas on how to keep motivated and mentally active?

Any big DIY / home improvement projects you can do?

My son took a job as an Amazon driver (their van) whilst between jobs. Not for everyone, but quite good money.

Oh yes, I was quickly given a list of those - am currently a few £K up on trades having redone the main bathroom. Next is painting the hallways and staircases once it cools down a bit.

fivver.com or peopleperhour.com

Both big sites for freelancing very type of work you can imagine (within reason!)

Unless you're prepared to work for 10 pence an hour, forget it. You are competing against a few million Pakistanis, Indians, Bengals and Filipinos.
