Hi
Just wanted to share my joy that I found out I got a job today that I really wanted - a job in the legal industry after trying for 2.5 years - and the best part - I get a payrise :j :j :j not quite sure how much as I have to ring up tomorrow and find out but hoping to put that bit extra I earn towards debts and make them go down quicker.
Anyway - thanks for reading - as I said, just wanted to share my joy at the prospect of clearing my debts quicker - bit sad really I know

Hey not sad at all, I was upset when my work said they were capping my hours to 40 a week. Now they've said as I'm a supervisor I can do all the extra I like, I was chuffed, all that extra money. All adds up and will drop months off the debt!
Well done!

Congrats Boo - every little helps.

Congratulations:j
In my job, I have been given extra work as there were redundancies, so one of the girls that left, I have taken on some of her work. This means, that when the other girl that still works in the department is off sick or on holiday, I cover for her and get an extra £80 a week for doing it:D
I keep telling her she should take some time off as she doesn't look too well:rolleyes:0 -
Excellent news Boo, Let us know how much it is when you find out
