I make £100s in seconds from selling my own ear wax, gross men will pay for anything
A WOMAN has revealed that she makes £100 in seconds, by selling her earwax to random men. Lateisha Jones, 24 (@latieshajbackup) has an unconventional approach to making cash, and previously revealed that she flogs her used foot masks and chewed mints online. 2 And now, the savvy seller has revealed her easiest means yet of making cash. Sharing details of her unique cash grab on TikTok, Lateisha proclaimed: "Your friends all work serious 9-5s and you spend your days selling used earbuds." "Ear wax is the easiest." She then proceeded to stick the buds into her ear until they had wax on them, before packaging them up. Along with the used cotton swabs, she added a card with a lipstick kiss and her autograph on it to the packages, which were then shipped off to her admirers. In a second video, Lateisha showed a bank transfer from a man who had sent her £50 for the earwax. Making the sale took just seconds of work, meaning that Lateisha could wrack up hundreds of pounds every day for selling her earbuds. She revealed that she charges the men whatever she likes for the earwax, adding that "the more wax, the better". And the seller is encouraging others to follow in her footsteps too, commenting under the video that there is "enough weird men for us all." Lateisha's video quickly went viral, with social media users racing to the comments section to share their thoughts on her business venture. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy One confused person asked: "But what do they do with it?" Another person admitted: "This is the lifestyle I need." A third person said: "I'd make a killing." Lateisha previously revealed how she charges one man £800 for her used braids. Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. The TikToker explained that every six to eight weeks, she takes out her braids and sends them to one specific customer. She said that people always assume that this man must be "old" or "weird. However, she described him as a "regular road man" in his twenties. Explaining what the man wants the braids for, Lateisha revealed: "He smells the braids and does his business." She showed herself packing up the hair, and writing a "cute" card to send to the man. Lateisha then showed screenshot of her bank account, revealing that the man had deposited £800 in her account for the braids.

Walkers is launching two permanent new crisp flavours for first time in decades
For the last year, Walkers has been keeping a huge secret from crisp fans. They've been quietly developing two brand new flavours for their permanent range – and this is kind of a big deal, as the brand hasn't added anything new to its core line-up in decades. Salted crisps were first launched by Walkers in 1948, with Cheese & Onion crisps coming along in 1954. These were followed by Salt & Vinegar in 1967. Other classic flavours like Prawn Cocktail, Roast Chicken and Smoky Bacon are thought to have been introduced in the 70s. But as of this week this week, shoppers will be able to get their hands on Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken flavours. Walkers claims they've spent the last 12 months working on 'rigorous flavour testing' to bring these crisps to life, which involved a six-step process. They initially started out with 63 different flavour submissions, before the team finally narrowed it down to just two. And they're expecting both of the new products to be a big success, as research carried out by the crisp giants found that 73% of consumers would rather buy Masala Chicken crisps than the classic Prawn Cocktail ones, while 65% picked Sticky Teriyaki over Cheese & Onion. In fact, following a taste test, 49% of crisp lovers admitted they preferred the new 'bold' and 'innovative' flavours over the entirety of the core Walkers selection. That's some serious fighting talk right there… The new flavours will be available in supermarkets across the UK from the week of August 11. More Trending But if you're curious to hear more about how they taste before then, Walkers claims the Sticky Teriyaki crisps are both 'sweet and tangy', and the flavour will 'hit your senses'. And the Masala Chicken ones are said to have a 'rich and creamy' taste, giving you a 'bite-sized' version of the UK's favourite Indian dish, Tikka Masala. Wayne Newton, senior marketing director at Walkers adds: 'Our development team has been on a mission for the past year to find two new flavours that meet the highest standards. View More » 'After thousands of crisps crunched, flavours tested, and bags rustled, we're pleased to bring something entirely new to the table with Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken.' Lidl has just introduced three new items into its bakery Lidl shared a look at the new selection on TikTok saying: 'New bakery special guests.' They went on to reveal a new Pain Suisse priced at 79p, a 99p Tiramisu Loaf, and a Cookies and Cream doughnut that's £1.49. Fans have already hailed the new items 'divine', 'gorgeous' and 'incredible'. Waitrose launched 'mesmerising' retro cake from 1930s The supermarket has teamed up with renowned cake maker, Fiona Cairns, to create a Lambeth-style cake, which feature a very specific decoration style, all to do with the way the icing is piped. The over-piping technique has roots in Europe, dating back to the 19th Century, but was largely popularised by cake decorator Joseph Lambeth in the 1930s thanks to his book, The Lambeth Method of Cake Decoration & Practical Pastries. Each of the Vintage Style Lemon & Raspberry Lambeth Cakes available from cost £65, serve 32-34 people, and are made to order, requiring eight days' notice. Terry's has teased a 'top secret' new Chocolate Orange flavour Terry's shared the news that it has something new coming on its Instagram account. They posted with a picture of a golden envelope, with the caption: 'Sealed, secret, and seriously delicious. Not long now…' Some think this is a new chocolate caramel flavour that has been spotted in shops, while others have demanded a pistachio one too. Do you have a story to share?

Rare coin collector warning over 1p coin 'worth £5 million'
Pennies, 20p coins and 50p coins regularly sell for multiple times their worth as keen coin collectors fight to get their hands on the rare currency. One person who is always quick to alert people to these gems is Coin Collecting Wizard, a keen coin collector who has more than 30,000 on Instagram. Usually, he will be flagging rare coins that you may potentially have in your wallet that could make a pretty profit. However, the Coin Collecting Wizard recently took to Instagram to issue an important warning about a new rare coin scam that is circulating on social media. Viral posts have been widely shared that claim a 1p coin from 1971 could be worth as much as £5 million, but it is not true. The Coin Collecting Wizard explained: 'You've probably seen the viral posts claiming that a 1971 1p coin is worth £5 million… but let's get one thing straight: It's NOT true. It's NOT rare. It's NOT valuable. 'Millions of 1971 pennies were minted — it was the first year of decimalisation in the UK, so they made loads of them! 'These coins are incredibly common and are worth exactly what it says on the tin: 1p. 'Please be careful — there are scammers and fake posts circulating online, especially on social media and dodgy websites, trying to convince people they've got a fortune in their pocket. 'These are designed to trick you, either into handing over money, personal info, or just chasing fake dreams. 'Always double-check with reliable sources. If it sounds too good to be true… it probably is.' Five Incredibly Rare and Valuable British Coins What makes a coin valuable? The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, with many collectable designs appearing on its heptagonal canvas. Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history. The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors. Recommended Reading: Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design. The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin's value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on eBay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer. Royal Mint top 10 most valuable 50p coins Here is a list of the top 10 most valuable coins, when they were made and how many were minted:
