Hi , 

Now the kids are all back to school (lucky you!) and the sun is shining it's time to start taking up some of our money makers. 

This week we have two crackers for you. If you're interested in the beauty industry then you should read our article on making money as a manicurist. If that's not your thing, then you might be interested to know how you can make money from YouTube. Two great ways to use your interests to make money!

It's not all sunshine and smiles though. We know that summer can be an expensive time, so if you're financially struggling now we've hit September then read our 4 steps to help you get out of summer debt. Don't worry, we'll help you get through it.

We also have some great bargains for you this week including £25 off when you spend £50 at The Body Shop and a half-price Ralph Lauren men's polo shirt. If that wasn't enough, we are also giving you the chance to win a £500 Sainsbury's gift card.

Check your inbox next Tuesday for more great money makers, money savers and bargains.

Love,

Jasmine

PS Please stay Scotland. We'd miss you if you leave!

Get money for your old phone

Now that the new iPhone has been announced (complete with site crashes as so many people scramble to pre-order one), a lot of old phones will soon no longer be needed.

However, we say never throw away your old or broken mobile phone, instead use Moneymagpie's recycling tool and get some money for it.

Check your credit history for free

Being refused credit can ruin your dreams of a new house or car. There are a number of reasons you might be turned down - and finding out what they are could get you back on track. 

Common reasons for being refused credit include a low credit score and lenders decisions.

Being refused credit is not the end of the road. By speaking to the lender you may remedy the situation. Alternatively, it makes sense to check your credit report beforehand to see if there's anything on there that could count against you, and do what you can to improve it.

PS - Free books for kids!

Online shopping service Flubit.com is continuing its Book Month into September by asking children, parents and schools to get involved to support the National Literacy Trust.

To take part they want kids nationwide to draw a picture of a character from their favourite children's book, parents or teachers to photograph it and email to books@flubit.com. For every picture sent, Flubit will donate £5 to the National Literacy Trust and will send a free children's book to the parent or school to say thank you.

For those parents or teachers that prefer to Tweet, Flubit will also donate £1 for every 'micro review' of a children's book using hashtag #flubitbooks.

Pictures can be submitted to books@flubit.com and more information about the initiative can be found here.
