    Morning Helen :)

    You must have been needing that sleep !:D lol

    So youre setting yourself an incredible target for the week ! 100 hours of work at an average of £5.00. So How are you going to approach this ? This works out at 14 hours a day for 7 days since the low daytime hours are balanced by the higher nighttime ones. But hopefully you will get ahead of yourself so you can have a chunk of Sunday off (need a minimum £72 per 24 hour period, a pretty high ask for anyone. ):eek:

    £500 would be a fantastic reduction to the debt tho.

    Lovely sunny day here, busy day ahead in the office, I am so looking forward to my holidays .. So much to do first, I dont normally get stressed about much, but I feel my blood pressure rising for this week already ! lol

    Have a good day :) x:A

    PS ... Bye Bye Wonga this week ! Wooohoo
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Hi Helen, you need to work out your hours this week to really maximise the night time high earning hours. This is probably the only way you can meet this target. So you will be working nights! Sleep in the morning and work from 8pm-8am. A twelve hour shift, and then perhaps a few more hours thrown in for good measure here and there.

    I think that this is the most sensible approach. It is only short-term, and once the payday loans are paid-off you can revert to a more normal work/life hours structure. What do you think??

    Some members of my family have worked nights in the medical profession for years, and once you get in the swing of it should be fine. You will certainly be working less hours than if you had to work 8am-8pm daytime !!!!!!!
    :money:

    Morning Mara Sweetie....How are you this morning? Hope you are well....

    Well, I have planned my Week ahead and I have planned to do 115 hours altogether....so it SHOULD be doable....but it depends on how busy the Phone's are...and I don't think I'll have my Regular to rely on this Week as he said he's not Calling again for a little while...and he certainly won't be Calling EVERY night like he did last Week....so I have to put in the hours this Week because I can't rely on that....

    And yes...bye bye to Wonga this Week...YAY :j :j :j AND bye bye to one of my Friend's Debts too :j :j :j

    I logged in at 8am...and I'm here until 11am when I'm logging off for a bowl of cereal and then straight back on....So far I've made about £8....

    Hope you have a GREAT day hun....and I'll let you know how I get on throughout the Day....xXx

    PS: Thanks for not shouting at me for Oversleeping!!

    Morning Pesto hun.....Thank You to you too for not shouting at me for Oversleeping!!

    I know you are right but I have to much more than just the 8pm until 8am shift if I want to achieve my Goal for this Week....I won't be getting much sleep....but I WILL be doing the 8pm until 8am EVERY Night (well except Thursday when I have to start at 9pm because of my Placement) AND some hours during the day as well....and get some Sleep first thing in the morning...

    As you say, it's not for long...Once I have paid off my PayDay Loans and the Loans from Friends....then I can relax slightly....as long as I still meet ALL of my Financial Commitments...most importantly the ones to Mum for Rent, Credit Card and Loan....Plus my Debts as well...

    I WILL get there this Week....I'm hoping for a more perfect Week this Week....Fingers Crossed that the Family Drama will be down to a Minimum....xXx

    Hope you have a good day Pesto hun xXx

    That's true....but if I can make more then I will do....I want to try and do as many hours as I can do and still get some sleep...

    But I AM trying to schedule in some Downtime too...so that I get the chance to do some things...

    Thank You for the Stats...and the advice hun....
