Who has taken an extra job?

Hiya
I have just taken up a job in a lapdancing club to try to become debt free, unfortunately its no good for men but if you dont mind your girlfriend being oggled its well worth the money! I have only worked for 3 nights so far (still very new!) but have earned £420 profit (cash in hand after paying house fees) which isnt bad for a few hours "work". Think I'm lucky as the place I'm working is classy and not at all seedy.
The bf was against it at first but soon came round when I told him the extent of my debts - £13,000 - plus I dont have a proper day job as just retrained as a plumber and and doing unpaid work experience.
Also did Avon for a year which is time consuming and a bit of a chore at times!prob made about £1000 in a year. I do mystery shopping also, and just signed up to a model managment company so hopefully get some modelling work as well! Also applied for Weakest link (waiting for reply!) - not really a job but theres the chance for a couple of grand tax free!0 -
I do 3 hours a week in the evenings as a lecturer for a college. Pay is £30 per hour (before tax NI) etc and I really enjoy it as well which is a bonus!!0

I work three nights a week delivering pizza.
It has been a total godsend - even though some days I do 16 hours over both jobs.
I have one day a week off, stops me going out on weekend night and I get free food.

I have done dance classes since I was four and I am lucky enough to be a skinny bird with reasonable, erm, puppies.
A lot of my friends dance but my B/F is v v old-fashioned and would not entertain this at all.
I can't see the prob myself as there is no way the punters are allowed to touch you and the power is all yours.[STRIKE]GRADUATE LOAN WITH HSBC -[STRIKE]£,5000[/STRIKE] fEB'07[/STRIKE][/STRIKE]JOINT CREDIT CARD WITH BF - £3,000, paying off at £200 pcmNEW BED - £200 0 per cent, paying off at £50 a month[[STRIKE]B]POWERGEN[/B] - outstanding bill £68, to settle March '07[/STRIKE][STRIKE]MY BELOVED MG - £1,500 AT 0 per cent, paying back at £100 pcm[/STRIKE]

Since starting my DFW quest I have got a cleaning job, I do mystery shopping, sell on amazon and sometimes ebay and now I hope to have a new one transcribing for an inventory company. All this is done in the evening or at weekends around my normal job, my family and my degree course (graduate next year - will be a primary teacher) I'm ususally knackered but I have paid off £10k of my debts in less than a year.
There is work out there - just go and find it.
Good luck0 -
