Years ago I helped a chap set up a lawn mowing business after six months of developing a client base he sold half the business for $3000-00.

You could ask if real estate agents do letter box drops and ask for work there.

A salesman in the office I eventually purchased developed a letter box drop business for most of Sydney after three years he (and his two partners) sold half that business for $1,500,000.
Open a thread in general chat seeking suggestions how to earn some cash...

House cleaning pays well.
Check out what someone charges and you will get a shock.

But your education comes first so make sure if you chase casual work you dont interfere with that.

I think Brian was on the turps, as I too am clueless as to what he meant (especially the "you sure it's yours". Huh?)

I bagged someothing - I got the FS-60 from you Brian not the Mewlon Oh, and I got the Sky90, in a circuitous manner...

You'll be back to Tak Brian..you know you will...the Tak is strong in you...
