A MUM, sick of budgeting, has claimed she is making £200 a week from a job so easy you don’t even have to leave the house to do it. 

The busy mum says she often watches TV or listens to music at the same time as bringing in the cash.

The savvy entrepreneur tackles other people's ironing baskets - taking them home, running the iron over them and sending them back perfectly pressed.

The clever mum uses Airtasker, an online marketplace that helps users outsource everyday tasks, to protect herself against people who won't pay once she's done her job.

Airtasker also makes it known to users that you are available for the task. 

Writing on a popular budgeting group the mum explained exactly how her side hustle works.

'I charge per basket of up to 30 items,' she said. 

'I start on Airtasker but all of my clients end up continuing with me, privately.' 

People were impressed by her work ethic - with some commenting they wouldn't mind giving it a go for some extra cash.

Others revealed their own equally clever - and simple side hustles. 

'We deliver catalogues for a bit extra, and to force us to exercise... at the moment I make an extra £82 a week, which isn't huge, but I'm getting fitter, and it pays the grocery bill,' a care worker said.

'Try hospitality jobs bars/pubs/restaurants Pretty good Flexi hours and pay rates are pretty good £15-per-hour,' said another.

'Look on Airtasker- if you have a utility vehicle, dump runs- I did 20k last year as my second job- on top of that a lot of dump runs had decent stuff that I sold, like furniture or golf clubs,' said another.

Others said they do disability support work and night-fill shifts at the supermarket
