Hi all,
I've just had confirmation that I've been accepted for a small pilot project thingie running here - 10 hours a month on top of my regular job, and £1250 for the year! I know it's not going to be huge amounts after tax, NI & student loan, but it brings that debt-free date a bit closer... :j
Also - just found out I can also apply for a one-off bit of the same project for between £200 & £500 pounds - not sure how many hours this would be & need to work out if I've really got time considering all the extra I'm already doing, but hey - what else is a girl to do on a Saturday night when she's got no money!

Well done, it's good to get a break when you're working hard to clear you debts. You should have a little treat too."Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it." (Montgomery, L.M.(1908). Anne of Green Gables.)
