Gettng my debt sorted

Hiya,
Im new to this site, discovered it at the begining of the holidays whilst house sitting, but now have the internet at home :cool:

Reading this site made me realise that I have to stop spending and get serious about clearing my debt.
I have just landed a full time job, first one in 6 years since the birth of my son so am a bit nervous. This will help me reduce my debt.
I have found so many useful money saving tips on this site, I have filled up my sons xmas stocking already with freebies! I wash my clothes when its cheaper, cook fresh food up and freeze some etc
The only thing I wont be doing when I first start work is taking my own lunch in, this is because I want to ease myself into the work place,dont think i'll have the energy for cooking when I get home! :rotfl:

    Another idea is when you are cooking the evening meal make a little xtra and take left overs to work.
