Arnt u on summer holidays in 3 days :s ?
Yeah but, 3 weeks 3 days holidays, That leaves me with 3 weeks. £150 wont fund 12 months. That's why I need a saturday job! I need to be funding all my paintballing on £25 a week. £20 from a paper round, £10 from school ( Possibly ) and however much on saturday, I'm sorted!

Ok fair enough, a good place to try is printing factories, a lot of them just need you to put paper into a machine, press go and watch it for 30 mins, repeat, take a gameboy / mp3 player and ure laughing :)

Well, about 1/2-1 hours on a train and maybe half an hours walk. Depends on the hours, like the starting time etc.

Throw ideas at me, Ill pick a few, research them and whatnot.

Thanks to everyone that has helped so far!
Unless you live local to the sites, your gunna need to travel longer, and I doubt many train's will allow paintball stuff on atall, so your gunna have to get parents to give you a lift / get one off another player and pay petrol money
Most start around 9am, but you'd wanna get there earlier
just thought i'd let you know eh? :p

i don't think they will let a 13 year old on a printing press i would like to see that ...there are safety issues...

I was head chef at a local restaurant when I was 14.
Looking back now, it was very dodgy, no food hygiene certificate and under-age :S still made the best pizzas and spag bol I have ever eaten though:D
Pretty much any job is a good job at that age.
The main thing is, don't let the boss take the p!ss with wages.
You may not be entitled to minimum wage but you shouldn't be taken advantage of.

I'm sure if I work to all of my abilities and all the standards set, I should be fine. Although the money I earn is the money I should have in my pocket, so I would tell him or her what's what! :)

go to your local pub that serves meals and ask if you can collect dishes or was them etc sort of like a waiter without metting the customers =]

Right, go round any plasterers, brickys etc and ask if they need any help i.e carrying bags of cement round.
I'll wait until the end of august for that. I just had my cast removed from my arm, and I'm not supposed to lift anything heavy for a while. My ncle has a building company, J&C builders. I'll have to ask my brother, who works with him, to ask him if he has any jobs available.

I'm sure that with the job at J&C builders, and the paper round, I'll be getting about £30 a week. That's nearly 1.6 Grand a year. Can't complain to be honest! I'll have money in my bank, fundings for paintball and money in my pocket to spend. Cheers guys, you've helped me a lot.

I'm the next Alan Sugar, so watch out! :p
