Found a second job I know I will love! Anyone else?

Hi everyone, thanks for all your great advice so far. The first DMP payment is in and the calls and letters appear to have stopped for the timebeing.
Bit gutted that my fixed rate at 5% ran out today and NR are putting our payments up by £40 :eek: but instead of interfering with the DMP so early on, I have decided to go back to hosting karaoke which I used to do before my debt and wedding to make up the shortfall and earn a wee but extra too.

I have an interview/audition on Friday at a really nice hotel, seems that I applied at just the right time - I was firing off some emails to local companies and one of the guys was just about to put an ad in the local paper so basically if it goes well on Friday I have the job! :j

I love singing and performing and it's £50 a night plus travelling for approx 3 hours work. As I am on shifts I can only do some Friday and Sat nights but he is willing to accomodate me. I really hope I get it! Means giving up any sort of social life I had but I will be saving and actually making money while enjoying myself at the same time.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me. Anyone else doing something similar?

Cheers
