Woohoo! I have been unemployed since august last year when I moved house, then when I'd got a job we moved again 
So now i'm settled (I hope) and have been given a part time job I can FINALLY take a proper look at the money I owe and work out how to pay it back.
I am studying with the Open University which takes up a lot of my time so an easy part time job is perfect but obviously the lower hours and the fact that it is minimum wage (it is in a cake shop....temptation!) won't help me pay anything back in a hurry. I just worked out my SOA for the first time and even with the new job I have a shortfall of £162 a month. Damn.
Time to cut back even further then

I have no abilities at languages so highly impressed. The courses look doable when you sign up and then the workload starts to hit.

The workload has well and truely done me in! Still, it stops me going out and spending money at least What are you studying?
Done quite well today with money. I managed to move a direct debit payment around to enable a cheque to clear so i've held off a few charges there. I also got a yearly statement from an old account that I never use and realised there is £77 in there from January when I needed to pay a cheque in and only had those details on me. Nice little surprise!
I'm going to photograph some bits to put on ebay this evening also.Make £5 a day in July - £105.33/£155
