Tips for getting quick cash
I guess much depends on ‘how quick is quick’, but we’ll assume it’s not half an hour and at least a few days or a couple of weeks.
Clear out the Clutter.
Have a Boot Fair or advertise on local Free Ads, or better still, in a Shop Window / Supermarket Board.
Have a Yard / Garage Sale.
This saves you the expense of getting to the Boot Fair and a really early start! Advertise in the local Free Paper or in a couple of Shop Windows, but watch security though and don’t let people wander off around your home and garden snooping.
Instant Part-Time Job.
There are many Agencies who offer casual work and even pick you up in a Mini Bus. It can be pretty boring work like Factory Line and not particulary well paid, but it’s extra cash.
Newspaper Rounds.
These mean a really early start usually, but at least you’re home the rest of the day.
Save what you Save.

Sell / Recycle your old Mobile Phones.
Many people have loads of these laying around the house gathering dust. Envirophone buy any old mobile, some of which have a surprisingly high value. Visit their Site here.
Kids Console Games
Have a check out on their Games. The way these go out of date and don’t get played again is amazing. Some Games Stores buy them for cash - or sell through Free Ads / Ebay etc.
Rent out a Room
This isn’t for everybody, but it could be a way to get some quick cash coming in. Rather than go for the long term Student etc. try local Business’s who may be having Staff in from elsewhere, especially applies where they may be a big building project going on.
Switching Bank Accounts
Some Banks and Building Societies offer you cash to change to their Company. You could find a better deal all round anyway !

They all help to pay the bills !
I note your advice not to take credit or debit cards when you go shopping BUT if you hurry you can still get an American Express CASHBACK card which repays 5% of all spending for the first 3 months. Use it to pay for absolutely everything where Amex is accepted and as long as you make certain to be sensible and pay the debt IN FULL every month then it provides a very worthwhile bonus. Work out what you spend over 3 months and you can soon see how much you will get back. The key is to pay in full each month and then there are no charges for credit and the 5% is pure bonus.
