    Sarah- Just to comment on the Tupperware suggestion, I have tried Tupperware, I did it for 4 months and with all the training and meetings you are expected to go to , plus the fact that you can't really take your kids to parties and or the meetings I would probably stay away from this one. If I was single and had heaps of time on my hands I'm sure I could have made a go of it but if you have a hubby that is working at all and don't have major family support it is a really tough one to do.

    I would love to hear any other ideas too cause like you I've tried looking at most things.

    Thanks guys. I will look into "parties" i am always unsure about those as i dont know many people who would want them done (friends etc) or if the company organises them not me but will deffinetly look in to it.

    Body shop parties would of been fun

    Thanks Ella for the advise on that one.

    What is your skillset? Work that out and go from there. You may be able to start your own home business. For example I have a finance background was able to provide bookkeeping for small business. So what skills do you have that can translate?

    If you go into party plan is does pay to have someone around who can babysit. Very hard to do a party when your little one is trashing someone's house

    I've looked into Family Day Care its a pretty good one to do. Means doing a tiny bit to your house like child locks etc to make sure its safe, and it's not a million dollars a week, but when I worked it out it was enough to make a big difference. I would have been doing it if I hadn't decided to go back to uni.
