 | | Get your ugly mug on an ID-parade video |
Gone are the days when you could stand in a line up and get paid for each appearance.
However, there is still a way to get a one-off payment of a tenner out of Derbyshire Police.
These days they'll video your image and then they can use you when they need you.For more information ring Derbyshire Police on 290100 - if you're under 18-years-old you'll need parental consent. Just walking the dog
 | | Man's best friend |
Why not make friends with a loaded neighbour who's got a dog.
Hopefully your neighbour will have an executive lifestyle and just not have enough time to walk their trusty pooch.
There're multiple benefits from this, you get paid, you get fit and there's nothing like a cute puppy to attract someone of the opposite sex - down boy!
Become a model - sweetie
 | | Go for a cheap chop |
Not so much a money making as a money saving tip this one...
Why not nip round the city centre hair salons finding out when their trainee nights are?
You might just be able to wangle yourself a cut-price chop. They wouldn't let the trainees loose on your hair if they hadn't passed classroom exams so it's not as scary as it sounds.
It's also worth giving Derby college in Mackworth a ring, this is where students are taught beauty, massage, reflexology and aromatherapy. Get yourself on their books as a model and you'll find yourself more pampered than an 'It-Girl'.
Derby College in Mackworth can be contacted on: 01332 519951.
(And talking of modelling, if you fancy making some crafty cash, why not sign up at the Uni or Derby College to be a life model. There's money to be made from sitting in a draughty room with no clothes on!)
Boot it
 | | One man's junk is another man's jewel. |
Get rid of all your old junk by having a car boot sale. The Derbyshire countryside is littered each weekend with crazy people rooting through other peoples' old rubbish.
Car boot sales as well as being loads of fun, can make you a stack of cash and you'll no doubt meet some extraordinary characters too.
Be prepared to bargain and haggle and don't be surprised if you get into a very public debate over 10-pence. One word of warning - the worst thing that can possibly happen is that the girl/guy of your dreams will wander past your trestle table and start browsing through your appalling old record collection, naff Athena prints and bad stone-washed denims.
The city's biggest car boot sale takes place on a Sunday morning from 8am at the Cattle Market, just off the Pentagon island. For more information call the City council on 01332 293111. There's brass in muck
 | | The dreaded laundry basket |
Not meaning to stereotype but students aren't usually renowned for their cleanliness. Why don't you challenge your housemates to be the neatest and tidiest? Once you've persuaded them that the best parties are held in houses that don't come with a health warning you can put your money making plans into action. Suggest that for a fiver per person, per week, you'll keep the house generally tidy. You'll have to set down your own rules but we'd advise that you don't offer to wash the pots as part of the deal - you'll be up to your arms in soap suds every night! Bad points are that you'll be responsible for keeping the bathroom clean. You could also offer to do your housemates ironing for them - £2.00 per item minimum and you should soon be wallowing in filthy lucre.
