Hi, I am in a temporary position regarding my illness, so haven't done anything regarding benefits. I made a few calls about social welfare etc, but it all seems such a long ordeal just to get a few quid, and to be honest we weren't expecting for me to be like this for so long.
So here's the story. I've been ill for the last two months and will be for approximately another 1 - 2 months at most. I usually look after our child, but I am literally on strict bedrest at home, so my husband has had to take over my role. He's self employed, so has just had to stop working. Usually we are comfortable enough moneywise, but now all our savings are nearly gone and we've just applied for a loan to get us through the next while. We would usually be pretty good at reducing our credit card debts, but it's down to minimum payments now.
I suppose my question is, I'm looking for something I could do online / telephone to make a few quid. I've been looking on the moneysavingexpert.com for ideas, but it's very UK based and most of the stuff doesn't apply to Ireland. I've registered for opinion surveys but haven't heard anything back. I have all day free and have plenty of time to plan, but would love to do something constructive with this time to help us pay back our debts. Thanks
