  • thanks guys. I am a bit apprehensive about working 7 days a week but in the long term, I have figured out I can pay my debts off in 16 months....!

    Look at it as a short term solution, once your debts are clear you can stop but if you are still ok with it then carry on and it could be a savings fund. 12-4 on a Sunday seems fair anyway, still get a lay in if you want and finished by 4 you still have a fair bit of the day left.

    I teach, so I do work the equivalent of 7 days, but they are flexible so I am lucky not to be restricted to certain hours!

    I work 2 jobs, 7 days a week - one full time (9-5) monday to friday, one part time (mondays, thursdays and fridays; 7 - 11.30pm, Sat and Sunday; 11 - 8pm) and I'm studying part time for a business degree which requires 3 hours classroom time and 4 hours reading time.
    I'm still getting 80%+ in my assignments.
    It's do-able, you just have to be committed. Sure, I don't have much of a life - but when I'm at an all inclusive 5* in Mexico for 2 weeks in September and am completely debt free, I know it will of been worth it.
  • thanks Lulaloo. I go to college once a week as well.

    Its not going to be as bad as I thought (apart from wearing a suit 7days a week:rolleyes:). In total I will be working a 46 hour week. I will get paid from them in two weeks as well, including bank holiday pay, so tomorrow (pay day from full time job) I am going to pay a small debt off. Its about £146. I think they will be shocked!

    xx i will let you know on Sunday night how it goes!:T
