I worked as a saturday girl in a flower shop jand that was great. I think maybe 16 is the normal age for this kind of work. As a 13/14 year old maybe finding work will be a little more difficult – see the below weblink for details and legal requirements it explains quite a lot and gives a few suggestions.

Some young people do milk rounds but there are very few milk rounds left. There are delivering newspapers, my son did that but how many young people want to get up at daft o’clock in the morning. How about delivering the advertiser or the herald and post? There seems to me to be jobs delivering take aways products but some jobs are few and far between.

I think you can have a paper round at that age, I know I did. I think proper employment can only happen when you are 16.

perhaps a relative might be able to employ you in a place you know well – obviously there is the paper round – or delivering the free papers. Or you could do jobs at home to earn pocket money??
Those ideas any good?
