Working the weekend

Hi all,

I am currently at work and our systems have crashed so thought I would send a quick post.

I am working this weekend in the attempt (so long as we don't get sent home) to earn enough money to pay off the last £388 pounds off of my Debenhams card this month!! With any luck I will do it!

Hard old slog as have to travel 2hrs (just under) into London today and tomorrow but hey, its all in a good cause! Can't say its fun travelling to and from London 7 days a week but I will do it!!

Anyway, hope you are all having a good wend!

    Well the system is still not back but we are at least staying until 14:45, only an hours and 15 mins less than I could do so I suppose that is not too bad and means I get back home from London that little bit earlier ready for Sat night. Although, I was planning on coming in tomorrow - :-(

    Never mind, I am finding it positive that i am coming in to work at the weekend, something I have not done for a while despite ALL my debts!!

    Keeping my fingers crossed!

    Good luck with getting rid of that Debenhams card. Don't work too hard though!

    Keep at it! We all have to do overtime at some time or another. Only 5 mins to go and think of the feeling of being one step closer to DF it'll so be worth it!
    Just trying to be me.....
