Had a very good week!

I have had a really good week in terms of becoming debt free! I have managed to get a part time job, earning me an extra £100 per week! I've sold everything i don't need on ebay and got paid at the weekend to polish 3 cars earning me £150! Its weeks like this that really give you hope about becoming debt free!:j

I now plan to try and live entirely on my part time wage and plough all my usual wages and extra money into my debts! I just need to find something to put on ebay now as ive run out!:D
On the long haul for a house deposit!

    Well done! The car polishing takes ages and is hard work but the results (money for me and a very shiny car for them) is worth it!
