    there is nothing wrong in doing some overtime as long as you do not depend on it after you have paid your debt.

    Budget to not do it and when you do do it put it towards debt repayments or savings
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    Even if it was on offer at our place (which its not) I don't think i could do it. Its a pain to be here for the regular day let alone stop longer! ;)

    From January, I will be stepping up my overtime and extra shifts to earn more spending money for our holiday. I've not done any recently because I'm finishing my dissertation for my degree that I'm doing whilst working and being a mum of 3. Overtime can be soul destroying sometimes because once I commit to the shift, it's difficult to get out of it if I change my mind and whilst I am working all I can think of is "I don't actually have to be here - I chose to do this" The pain of it is soon forgotten though when I recieve the money! We get our overtime/extra shifts paid on a weekly basis so we get it through very quickly which helps.
