Sorry I didnt think you will be including that for some reason:huh: It is too early for me to think properly.

I am sure you will easily manage that! I really am impressed by how hard a lot of the people on here work at becoming debt free, I dont know how people manage a family and being a dfw!It is amazing :T

You've paid off so much in the past year that £3.5K by next October will be a snip (I'd place a bet right now that you could do it AND have bought Ste a really nice TV as well!!!!!

Remember, you have two children which is excellent preparation for pretty much any job, let alone a job at Argos in the run up to Christmas. Let us know when you start the job (I have every faith in you:D )!

Tescos had a cheap 'holiday buggy' for £10 the other week - ours didn't have any left in stock when I went (was going to buy one for Tasha, to take on holiday with us), but keep an eye out, they might do the offer again sometime.

Also, maybe look out on Freecycle for a buggy board - that would be an alternative for someone of Ashli's age, if she gets tired while you're out walking.

Just trying to work out prospetive earnings...
Anyone know whether temps are Argos ar paid weekly or monthly??

Anyway min wage for me is £5.52 p/h so if I did weekends sat 9-5.30 and sun 10-4 I'd be looking at £80 a week or £346.57 a month so if I started beginning of Nov and did til end of december I'd get just under £700 which would mean a fab christmas.. (That or new tv :T

Keep your fingers crossed!!!

right it looks to me working it out on my bros wage slips that you would get an extra £2.98 ish for a sunday... ie my brother did 5 hours 25min and he got £14.94 for sunday premium. It only works on a sunday however and your wages would read ~

basic ~ X hours ~ £X
sun pre ~ hours ~ £x

total ~ £X

you would then have a new collumn for deductions and then a final collumn with a summary
