    My payslip is up on the system for this month. I did 11 hours overtime last month (felt like more than that, although it wasn't), so after the tax man takes his money, that's an extra £37.41 on top of my normal wages. Working 10-5 today (overtime).

    I did loads of surveys yesterday, so hopefully some more payouts to come from them soon. I've received most of the £25, just waiting for My Survey to pay. I'll make the payment towards the debt on Friday. I'm going to try and pay £10 a day off debt #1 from Friday onwards, on top of what I'm earning as extra from elsewhere. That way, at least £230 will be paid off by the end of the month just by doing that. So I'll make a £35 payment on Friday.

    It's my friend's birthday today, so I need to get her a present. Will just buy her a £10 M&S voucher after work and take it to her this evening.
