Feb. 2nd, 2005 01:31 pmI need to borrow your brains, people.
My parents want me to visit Canada in the summer. Specifically, there is a Pippin family reunion thing that I should go to, so postponing until sometime in autumn isn't going to be an effective solution.
Mostly, this is okay - I haven't seen my dad in ages, I haven't seen my brother in even longer. I do want to go. And, well, most of my piano students stop for the summer, so I won't be losing much income there. They want![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shevek to come as well, at this point I think that's going to be unlikely as he isn't just now able to make a commitment to something six months in advance, I'd love him to come of course but that is another matter. Anyway my dad in particular really wants me to come, and has offered to pay for my ticket with air miles - but I need to be able to set up dates Very Soon for this to happen.
( Why this is just not feasible )
So, any ideas on how to get an extra £600 to £1000 would be greatly appreciated. Then I could go, and not have to worry so much.
EDIT: Basically if I started saving this week I would be looking at needing to earn an extra £25 to £42 every week in order to save enough to make up the lost income by the time I go. I'm struggling to make ends meet as it is.
FURTHER UPDATE: I'm definitely going, and have been assured that what costs I can't cover because of the loss of income will be taken care of. I need to choose me some dates, and leave enough time either side for househunting/moving/et cetera. Of course if any of you still have ideas for earning the extra cash I would be delighted to have them!
