My Socks are pulled up

Having cut back all I could - I was still unhappy with the impact (or lack of) on paying things off...and needed to get some money to help my mum with the purchase of a mobility scooter.......

Opportunity smiles on those looking....

My employer recently moved office.... Until the refurb work is finished - we are in a rent free part of the building ... but that also means we have no cleaners....

I had the "cahonas" to explain I wanted to earn more money and the honorable reason why - and they accepted my quote... so I'm a couple of hundred quid a month better off to pay extra on debts and put some aside for mum.....(and some for the tax man in a savings account to get interest on it til I need to pay tax)...

:j

As well as saving - never miss earning more as an option of tackling debt as well......

:o)
