I'm having trouble finding a second job to help buy a new car... unfortunately I can't do delivery driving for a takeaway as mentioned in another thread on this site as my present car (1995 1.4 306 with 170,000ish miles on the clock) isn't always reliable for that type of work. Problem is I'm only availible Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays... any suggestions?

Tried a few bars, unfortunately the hours they offer don't suit me...I'm still looking in this area though.

Yeah I don't mind if the job is crap, I need £400 to bring my car (an E39 528i) a month closer.

Security gaurd ? If you are working all day then being a security gaurd is 90% sleeping from what I see of those on most sites I visit.

Heh, I've experienced similar guards! Unfortunately I think they would want me for more than 15 hours per week.

Your local Tesco might need delivery drivers for Home Shopping. We always have trouble getting evening drivers so it's worth asking. The shifts tend to be 7pm - 11pm, so fit in well around a day job.

What's the pay like though? Wouldn't it take him longer to amass the required wad than he says he intends to spend?

I don't work for 'tigerstud' Pigeon. Ask them about rates of pay.

B&Q give you 20% staff discount. My neighbour, redundant for some time between two quite high-up jobs, actually did this in the evenings for a few months to help make ends meet, all credit to him. Kept him fit too!
