All the services required for peoples` weddings, including the church service, the wedding car, photographer, reception room, mobile disco and catering would all be arranged by you, taking the pressure off the bride and grooms` parents. Good organisational skills, are of course, essential. Advertise your services in the Yellow Pages, local newspapers and bridal shops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start a homebuyers information service.&lt;br /&gt;One of the problems with moving house is that you can never be sure what your neighbours are going to be like. They could be noisy or have mischevious children terrorising the neighbourhood . There may be other numerous drawbacks too. Unacceptable periods of busy traffic, smells emanating from nearby farms or industrial complexes, things that never come to light until you move in. Some individuals are making a good living from offering a service which provides a detailed report of these types of problems. They make a regular survey of the area at different times throughout a specified period. The information and service they provide can often make a big difference in the homebuyers final decision as to whether to buy or not. This is a business that is simple to start and run, but the hours can be unsociable.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-115339133428463847?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/115339133428463847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=115339133428463847' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/115339133428463847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/115339133428463847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/07/yet-more.html' title='Yet More'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-115330163718820166</id><published>2006-07-19T10:33:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-07-19T10:34:15.470+01:00</updated><title type='text'>More Ideas</title><content type='html'>More Ideas&lt;br /&gt;Start your own home visit service.

Whether it`s dressing up in a clown`s outfit, juggling, or doing magic tricks, a childrens` entertainer can make a good part-time income from doing parties and special events. Perfect your act and advertise in your local edition of Yellow Pages. You might also consider getting an agent if you can`t find the work yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start a childminding service.&lt;br /&gt;With suitable qualifications, you could do this on your own. However, there`s more potential in building a business which enables you to farm out the work to others, while taking a percentage of the hire fee. To get started you will need to interview candidates who should have previous experience of this type of work. Compile a list of suitably qualified people who you can call on at short notice. Start by advertising your service locally until you build up enough work through recommendations.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-115330163718820166?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/115330163718820166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=115330163718820166' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/115330163718820166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/115330163718820166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/07/more-ideas.html' title='More Ideas'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-115323669343827968</id><published>2006-07-18T16:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-07-19T10:32:24.836+01:00</updated><title type='text'>More Jobs For Kids</title><content type='html'>Car Washing&lt;br /&gt;Car washing is a needed service in many communities, get together with a few friends and armed with a sponge, shampoo and a car leather walk around your local area, when you see a dirty car knock on the owners front door and ask politely if they wouldl ike you to wash it for them.

Also try selling coffee, donuts, snack bags, or other food items.  If possible, set up a booth at a local community fair, or sale if allowed.

However, it was as simple as it first looked and it was true. As you read this you will probably be as pessimistic as I was but please continue reading as it does work. There are lots of online casino’s all very much the same as one another all offering free bonus amounts when you sign-up. But there is one with a big difference, that being 888 casino, let me explain.&lt;br /&gt;888 Casino allow you to place up to $200 into your account (that is around £120.00) and they will match that initial deposit with like for like free when you do so through an affiliate link. So opening an account with $200 will gain you a bonus $200 totalling $400 in your account and here is the catch in your favour. As soon as you have deposited your money, they match it within seconds and you can then withdraw the entire amount which you put in.&lt;br /&gt;So in the space of 5 minutes, you can open an account, deposit $200, get a free $200, withdraw your deposit so your bank doesn’t even notice that the money came out and still be left with $200 to play with. You can open an account with $50 if you like and they will add $50 within seconds but remember you can only do it once so it makes sense to go the whole $200.Now what do you do with your $200 that is sitting there which you got for nothing, their rules state that to withdraw this you have to have placed a certain amount of bets, I did this yesterday evening placing $100 on red and $100 on black, each time I am gambling the entire $200 and winning $200 back (evens chance). I did this on 4 consecutive turns which enabled me to withdraw a further $100 so I shall continue today betting $50 on each colour hoping that green zero does not come in. If it does I have my starting $200 back and a bonus $100 so my bank balance today is £56 more than it was yesterday.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-114372551380816847?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/114372551380816847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=114372551380816847' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/114372551380816847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/114372551380816847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/03/free-200-dollars.html' title='Free $200 Dollars'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113974574767196207</id><published>2006-02-12T11:37:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-02-12T12:02:27.670Z</updated><title type='text'>Week Three - First Job</title><content type='html'>I received two calls today, one to move a sofa and the other to move a washing machine.

Not a low with savings but a low in myself wondering if I will reach my dream. I keep telling myself its a marathon not a sprint but I feel like I have been in first gear the first two weeks so its time to take a look at what I am good at and capitalise. I do own a small van so this can be put to work, some of the ideas I am considering:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Start a garden maintenance service and try and build up a regular round of customers whose gardens need to be kept in good order. This will involve weed control, pruning, hedge trimming, lawn mowing and edging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Small removals is a service that is always in demand. Particularly in the larger towns and cities. A man with a van collecting and delivering items such as fridges, cookers and 3 piece suites for people might find this a good little money earner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Offer a gutter cleaning service. Gutter cleaning is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. If you don`t mind heights and getting your hands and clothes dirty, this could be a good way to make extra cash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Start a pet food delivery service. Pet food deliveries can be useful to many individuals, particularly old and disabled people who find difficulty in getting out and about. Obtaining a stock of popular foods at competitive prices will also be an advantage and something I shall have to look into.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-113941989158303704?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/113941989158303704/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=113941989158303704' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113941989158303704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113941989158303704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/02/week-three-boost-required.html' title='Week Three - Boost Required'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113941855751088655</id><published>2006-02-06T17:07:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-02-08T17:10:30.066Z</updated><title type='text'>Week Three - Shopping</title><content type='html'>I managed only managed to save £2.00 doing the weekly shop but I did manage 5 very good buy one get one free offers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-113941855751088655?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/113941855751088655/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=113941855751088655' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113941855751088655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113941855751088655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/02/week-three-shopping.html' title='Week Three - Shopping'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113922183966714042</id><published>2006-02-06T10:26:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-02-08T17:11:53.410Z</updated><title type='text'>** Quick Tip **</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Superman is heading back to the big screen, it is going to be nothing short of a box office hit so keep an eye out for Superman collectables.

At the moment I feel very much held back, I realise that you need money to make money and I do not want to turn this blog into a how to make money on eBay blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love to have the spare cash to go forward with my Landlord on the cheap idea but I haven’t and I must remain focussed on what I can achieve. I have an idea which I am going to look into today and if its as good as I think it will be I shall report back tomorrow on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was shopping day today, with swapping to a few stores own brands I managed to save £12.00 this week and on the buy one get one free I have added a couple more items to my box in the garage. The £12.00 I saved on shopping will this week be placed into my float and transferred to the bank account when all payments for the closed eBay auctions have been received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also heard from the credit card company today that my application was successful so once it arrives I will be able to switch over to the cheaper rate. I intend to continue with the same payment I was making on my old card as I need to get the balance down as quickly as possible. It will be nice seeing that my payments actually make a difference instead of making a £100 payment only to see £80 going back on in interest.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-113864176095008805?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/113864176095008805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=113864176095008805' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113864176095008805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113864176095008805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/01/week-two.html' title='Week Two'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113853412951494757</id><published>2006-01-29T11:27:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-01-29T11:28:49.516Z</updated><title type='text'>** Quick Tip **</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Its World Cup year, it has not reached anywhere near fever pitch with the domestic season still having plenty of way to go.

Remembering my new outlook on money this is a possible £700 a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My DVD's have also closed and a total profit of £26.00 was made.  So a grand total of £54.55 at the end of week one with very little effort.

Let’s face it though, not many people have this kind of money spare and if they do they probably would not be following this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what if I detail a perfectly legal way around this deposit problem, a way around it which has been tried and tested by numerous people including a close friend of mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apartment blocks and converted factories are sprouting up everywhere, what you need to do is get in early on one and make an appointment to meet with the builder. We shall take an average 2 bedroom apartment price of £150k, you ask the builder how much discount he will you give you if you buy more than one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The builders will usually come back with 8%, 10% maximum, this is where you ask for a 15% discount, if he says no wait, move on to the next one but leave some contact details just in case he changes his mind. Be patient, you will find the builder that is willing to offer 15% which is about £20k on each one. This £20k is now the deposit money for the mortgage. However, it's not that simple because you have to do it as a cash back and you only get the cash back once the house completes, so in theory you don't have the £20k to give them until after the house goes through which is too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way around this is to write a cheque to your solicitor for the deposit money which he cashes and then gives to the mortgage lenders. What the solicitor must do is hold fire on the cheque process until you have the cleared cash back in your account. Everyone happy, everyone gets their money. You will also need to have proof that your mortgage payments will be made up by the rental income of the property, which is all part of the valuation process. It used to be that the rental was 125% of your mortgage, now with Northern Rock it's only 100%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will probably have to find a couple of thousand for solicitor fee's and stamp duty but would you mind that if you have two apartments, being rented out for the cost of your mortgage knowing that when the 20 year mortgage is up they are yours. Better than any retirement plan and as they rise in value over the years you could always consider selling them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-113837849333818213?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/113837849333818213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=113837849333818213' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113837849333818213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113837849333818213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/01/become-landlord-on-cheap.html' title='Become a Landlord On The Cheap'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113837620350529682</id><published>2006-01-27T15:29:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-01-27T15:36:43.506Z</updated><title type='text'>Day Eight - Credit Card</title><content type='html'>After a little research I managed to find a credit card offering 5.9% interest on balance transfers for the life of the transfer.

" But what is the point in trying to save a few £'s on take-aways if I am allowing it to be eaten up on over the top interest rates.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-113828731139699196?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/113828731139699196/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=113828731139699196' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113828731139699196'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113828731139699196'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/01/day-seven-progress.html' title='Day Seven - Progress'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113819780781952415</id><published>2006-01-25T13:13:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-01-25T15:43:53.390Z</updated><title type='text'>Day Six - Take Away</title><content type='html'>Tonight is take-away night as we both work till 8.00pm.

We needed shower Gel, I switched from Radox to Palmolive, it was 50p cheaper and buy one get one free. Dishwasher tablets were also on a buy one get one free offer and a whopping £1.20 cheaper than the brand I had been using.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had placed a magazine in the trolly and as usual I had managed to read most of it whilst waiting for the wife to walk up and down each aisle. This time instead of paying for it and taking it home, I put it back on the shelf, £5.99 I could do without spending. Bleach was buy one get one free as were the tea bags and just by changing a few brands I worked it out I had saved £15.00..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As this was £15.00 saved at shopping I decided to deposit it into my Flex Account on the way home remembering this is not a possible £15.00 a week but £780 a year. On the buy one get one free offers, I placed the the 'freebies' in a large box in the garage. My longer term aim with these is t build up enough 'freebies' to allow me one very cheap weeks shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also used my club card to collect the loyalty points and made myself a promise to take better advantage of the stores loyalty rewards program.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-113803159617341543?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/113803159617341543/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=113803159617341543' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113803159617341543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113803159617341543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/01/day-four-shopping.html' title='Day Four - Shopping'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113792829287961127</id><published>2006-01-22T10:46:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-01-25T15:16:38.746Z</updated><title type='text'>Day Three - eBay Postage</title><content type='html'>I am going to attempt to cash in on the average users ignorance when it comes to eBay and postage charges.

The best way to explain this is look at a simple example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) You find some junk laying around, you sell it on eBay for £5.00&lt;br /&gt;2) You change just a couple of brands on your weekly shop and save £5.00&lt;br /&gt;3) You drive your car a little slower or catch a lift just once and save £2.50 petrol&lt;br /&gt;4) You cannot do without your take-away, look at the price, get something cheaper save £2.5&lt;br /&gt;5) You currently spend £2.00 on lottery tickets, Stop now FACT - you have more chance of being hit by a plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this is five very simple things to cut back on, smokers can cut back and save even more. I would have looked at this previously and my first thought would have been &lt;em&gt;a £17.00 saving is not going to change my life.&lt;/em&gt; This is where I must change my outlook if I am to succeed. I must look at this as a continued yearly saving of £884.00 a year or just over £73.00 a month!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could £884 a year do or £73.00 a month, lets look at just one example, based on a £100,000 mortgage over 25 years at an interest rate of 5.75%. Using this £884 as an overpayment on the mortgage would bring it down to 20 years and save £20,236.68.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21228745-113784497253500940?l=ristac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/feeds/113784497253500940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21228745&amp;postID=113784497253500940' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113784497253500940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21228745/posts/default/113784497253500940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ristac.blogspot.com/2006/01/day-two-my-perspective.html' title='Day Two - My Perspective'/><author><name>Ristac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228745.post-113779759353189958</id><published>2006-01-20T22:49:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-01-25T14:34:48.513Z</updated><title type='text'>Day One - The Tools</title><content type='html'>I have opened a new bank account with no overdraft arrangement, a simple online account with the Nationwide.
