    Well it's £6 an hour. Not great but if I want the debt to go then I have gotta be prepared to work hard. I have almost exhausted a lot of the mse routes...I could try the betting thing but I am too scared!

    Congrats on getting the job. I'm wondering whether to get a part time job for the evenings myself.

    ti1980 - I would certainly give it a go. Would you be using the extra money to pay off debt? I am going to give myself some sort of timeframe for keeping the job. I am looking at about 6 months at present but will review it at Christmas. I found my job in my local free paper. Am desperate to get some money behind me!

    Yeah, all the extra money would go towards paying off debt.
    I can do up to 45 hours in my full time job now but I wouldn't mind doing about 48-50 hours a week.
    I look in the Metro paper and also the free paper that gets delivered every week but I haven't found anything that has caught my eye yet.

    I just got a call to say I have an interview for a full-time position as an executive assistant. My interview in on the 23rd of August at 9:15am. I think it is just going to be an interview as well, no awful additional assessments like doing a presentation! HURRAY!

    Fingers crossed for me DFW peeps!

    Starting temp (poss. perm) very low paid job a week on Monday.. will stop me panicking until the right thing turns up! I need to make a decision about if I want to move house for a better job, or retrain for something else here, I think. Toying with the idea of becoming an accountant but no idea where to start on home study! There are too many options!
