Default Making some cash/keeping busy short term?

I have left my job & I start my new job in a couple of months (long story)
While I have 2 months free I wanted to keep myself busy & earn some money, so any ideas for something really short term?
I might put an advert in the local newsagents offering my painting & decorating skills. Might pick up a job or 2.
Any other ideas ?

We've got some painting and decorating needs doing and could offer you an all expenses paid stay on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales in return The work should only take a week or two then you could have some time to go out walking/driving/sight seeing etc

Singh, sensible ideas only ! The kids would be sold before the Turbo gets sold !
Chick - great offer but I am down in deepest Surrey so its a bit far to travel for the work...sounds like heaven though !

I would recommend looking at learning the art of spread betting. Maybe pop to the bookshop or have a look at some ads in the Standard. If you can put a week into a course like

http://www.insightsupport.com/

you could do very well in a couple of months.

Other wise have a crack at these...........

If you won't sell your car, why not use it for pizza delivery? They pay an amount for your fuel per pizza delivered - if you drive carefully you can make quite a profit

call a few agencies and tell them you are available for driving work. There seem to be endless numbers of driving jobs. I spent a week delivering organs from corpses to the forensic labs once
