    I agree with Annie - I have worked 7 days a week since July 2005! (obviously I get usual holiday time off as well!). I work in an office (my main job where I use my degree) in the week and then work Sat and Sun at a local supermarket. It takes some getting used to but it's ok once you get into the swing! I did it to pay off my student loan extra fast and now I am using the spare money to save for my mortgage.

    So, it can be done. It's not great fun but it's also not as bad as people think!

    Even if it's just shop work for a few hours at the weekend, it's a start.

    Good luck =)

    Wow - someone agrees with me!

    Lol, I definitely do :p

    It is also quite a boost for you to pay something off, when at first it seemed daunting! I think it's very easy to let debt get out of control until you are not sure how to begin clearing it but luckily there are a lot of extra little money making ways on the web which could help you as well - quidco/pigsback/rpoints etc. Everything helps. Have a look through all of the posts and you will be well on your way :money:
