    I am so so tired. All this overtime is draining me. Rumors are it will last 2-3 month minimum because the firm will not be employing summer agency temps this year.

    Anyway I need to speak to Mr Pixie to see when I can and can't work to fit in with his hours and his own overtime.

    I have the 'next' debt firmly in my sights. I estimate if the rumours are true I could earn enough extra to add to the regular payments we make to ensure that it is clear for September :)

    This brings us on to our next little problem. We want to move. Like really want to move. Our fixed rate deal expires end of May 2010 so we have around 1 year to clear debt and save a small fortune. :eek::eek::eek:

    We are looking at needing around 30k as a deposit minimum but we do and should have some equity in this home but who knows how much in a years time.:confused:

    Full marks to you for striking while the iron is hot with the overtime.....just make sure you have enough time to recharge your batteries as well - otherwise you'll burn out totally.

    You're doing brilliantly though - well done! :T

    at the moment we are looking at being DF early 2010. We need a 4 bed house and a 30 k deposit at todays prices. The aim is to save save save once debt is paid and hopefully be in a serious position to be moving summer/autum 2010 provided ofcourse our current home sells.
