Hello Dougan

This is mostly an american/canadian site

I am English myself, so probably best if I offer advice for you

As you are young, you are restricted at the moment to how many hours you can work

Newspaper rounds are always popular - have you tried to your local newspaper agents?, helping with milk rounds is always a popular job, or used to be

When I was your age, I would negotitate with my parents on what jobs I had to do and what jobs I could be paid for doing

As a result I would always mowed the lawns for my parents on saturdays, of course when they told me how much of a good job I had done, I upped the price - wow did that cause some friction

Also, do your parents know anybody who can offer part time jobs to you on saturdays, cleaning up this, or sorting out that

Speak to your praents and family - you never know how many little jobs you can get for a few quid at a time until you ask

Good luck to you

sounds like you've got the same restrictions as 12 years olds in america.

what about dog walking? maybe some neighbors have dogs but not enough time to walk them everyday. or even pet sitting when your neighbors go out of town. or watering their plants for them while they are away. my hope is always that one of the kids in my neighborhood will come looking to wash cars for money. i would so pay a kid a few bucks to hose it down and make it shiny again
maybe a little closer to christmas you can offer to wrap presents for a fee. you may not have as much time to do your own shopping, but you might be able to make a decent amount of spending money.

and of course, always talk to your parents and get their permission to do any of this. make sure they know who you are working for and that they are ok with it.
