Woman magazine would like to speak to ladies aged between 35 and 50 – one who is actively planning to pay off her mortgage as soon as possible and one woman who has a financial plan in place to pay off any existing credit card / store card debts (these can be quite small – she is just interested in the strategy she has to do it.)

It’s a positive piece about how to sort out your finances and clear debts for the New Year. If you would like to take part, please private message me with your name and mobile number.

Thanks
Jenny

    Thanks Jenny. Got a phone call this afternoon and spoke to the writer. I'll get a phone call tomorrow to tell me if they're going to use my details or not. :)

    I felt a bit nervous too - but then I have blogged (once) about it on my own blog that I send out in trying to push my journalistic intentions... so I thought that perhaps I was being a bit of a nervous nelly for no reason...
