    I must be sad or mad. i actually worked a full shift todat as overtime. £26 p/h is not to be sniffed at. I will throw the whole lot at the largest debt. I also have an offer of half a shift on Saturday so I think i will do that too.

    Why on earth would we think you mad LP? Jealous that you picked up a good shift, but not mad..Well done.

    Once Saturday is over I should of done 15 hours overtime this week. :eek: I should therefore be able to make a huge dent the next debt as I should be able to overpay by almost £300 using overtime alone.

    Band news is my central heating is broke. It will get fixed on Friday and thankfully we have a house hold fund so it will come from that not our day to day spending.

    Iam much the same. if i take the hubby or kids with me before i know it I am £90 and seem to lack food for one or more meals that week. I am finding using my slow cooker and breadmaker is saving a fortune too.

    :DWell thats another few hours overtime in the bag for today. :D They are now offering a full shift on saturday and a half shift on sunday if I want it. I am tempted to do it because paid overtime is rare in my workplace
