boosting income

[eglington]

Anyone know of anything to do, other than surveys, to boost my income. I am 65 with basic pension of about £30 a week - (paid married womens allowance when i worked). Am proficient on the computer and can find my way around easily. Fast typist (was a secretary/pa in my younger days) literate and am willing to spend time on the computer. If you have a job for me or an idea, please let me know. Many thanks

Stick up a notice in a local college/university offering a service as someone who can type up a thesis

£30 a week pension. Is that all it is?

Hi there eglington is there any reason why you haven't gone back to secretarial/pa work? If your skills are up to par and you've experience then surely it shouldn't be too hard or do employers usually prefer secretarys/pa's that are much younger? Even if that is the case your skills would be wanted somewhere, have you applied to any employment agencies or sent your CV out to any companies yet?

Surely you are in receipt of Pension Credits to take your weekly income up to £132.60 if you are single?
