3. At least two fitness classes
4. Make a dent in cleaning out the back room (aka the pit from hell)
5. Will see if I can do the blood donation too - am due another one

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all your lovely messages. I went for my trial this morning and it was fine - the work isn't too taxing - making lattes, paninis, delegating to 16 year olds - etc etc! It won't make me a fortune but could be between £120-£150 a month plus tips which are shared, for working every second weekend so that'll go straight onto my debt (I absolutely must not be tempted to spend this money) so that takes the pressure off my salary and gives me a bit of breathing space.

With minimum payments included, I will hopefully be paying off about £180 a month from my debt, sometimes more - which is my target - whoopee! Now I just have to work out how to SAVE some money!!!

Thanks again - have a wonderful week

Good for you. At least if you're working a lot you'll have less time to be tempted to spend the money you're earning.

Best of luck with everything.

milliejohn- can you post outcome- would be really interested whether asda works out cheaper than tescos. thanks

As promised, I thought I'd update you about the supermarket challenge.

The guide price for both supermarkets was very similar. Tesco's worked out to be around £2.50 more on the same items bought in Asda. However, when the delivery note came I'd been charged around £3 more than the guide.

I think this was because the items which are weighed are way off (excuse the pun) when you put them in the basket. They are more epensive when they go through the till.

Asda's website was much slower than Tesco's, but easier to navigate around the aisles.

The drivers from both stores are nice and friendly.

All in all I think that it comes down to which shop will be the cheapest when you do the shopping.
