Mousewife

An article in the Daily Mail caught my eye at the weekend as it made reference to mousewives and I had never heard this expression before.

A mousewife is a mother who uses her home computer to boost her household income. She does this by completing online surveys, mystery shopping, selling items online through ebay and Amazon and other internet based activities.

Apparently 1 in 20 stay at home mums is estimated to earn over £200 a month from these extra online activities.
