hiya

im housebound but want a job and cant find anything as it all seems to be rip off merchants wanting money to find out more info or catalogue delivery when i apply for things does anyone know of any real work from home opportunities?

thanks

[ummmm]

Are you willing to train?

[tweenyb]

cant see why not if it leeds to a job, although would depend on cost of training

how much are you physically able to do? you cant go out, but could you do other physical things? Are you able to lift things up or is that limited? can you concentrate for a period of time? Do you have any skills that other people would pay for?

[ummmm]

Book-keeping and payroll are always good. I learnt how to use 'sage' and I use to work from home for small companies doing their books. They would just drop off the weeks receipts/invoices/hours and I'd book-keep them. They do courses at college for book-keeping...sage is not cheap though but they help you through it step by step. Somedays the were doing the book-keeping for me.

can you do correspondance courses in bookeeping ummm?
i ask cause i have a feeling tweeny can't get out the front door

[ummmm]

Sage do but I'm not sure about other courses. You have to pay for the course and they send you out something each month to learn. They are at the end of the phone at all times to talk you through whatever problem you might have.

I never actually took that course...I had someone come in to give me a crash course as I was already running a business. My sister did though and she said they were great. I think you have to submit your completed work each month and they grade you. A bit like OU I would think. You do get a qualification at the end of it.

But it's not cheap and the software is also expensive.

brilliant ideas thankyou all... do you need a hea for numbers to do payrole or does the sage software do it all for you?

i am house bound now due to bad back and leg but i can type, speak, concentrate etc like a normal abilitied person.... dont want to be on dole and qute frankly im bored stupid and want something to do whilst hubby is at work :0)

What about chatline operator, you can earn good money and work what ever hours suit you. There are some naughty calls but most of them are mild!! good luck
