Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2015!

Got offered a full time job at mcdonalds. Over all it will be more money for me but not much after petrol, tax and NI. But I have until Monday to decide. Is starting to feel like it's a crisis day every day and want to get out but there not much difference in pay if I leave after everything's taken into consideration. If I change jobs I will have a 3 month probationary period and if after that they don't think I'm suitable I will be jobs less so I know it's sometimes better the devil you know. Been offered to be the talking shop rep in work which is I elands version of a union but I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to try and get the changes made to the show we need but I know I would be determined enough. The next couple of days will be taking a lot out of me between work and making the decisions I need to to secure my future. If your of the praying nature a little would be appreciated.

Happy Saturday everyone
Lot's of juggling around this week - my brother has owed me money for a car for ages and has been in financial trouble himself. Finally sorted himself out (I'm helping him with his budgeting etc) so I have been able to pay off the Luma card.
Interest/charges added to Cap One - updated totals below:
#72 £1746.69 / £2733
One debt to go . . am slowly chipping away myself with this one - rounding down bank account etc and sending excess over plus usual minimum payments. Have been using Quidco for insurance renewals and to switch a bank account so hopefully will have some larger payments in a few months to put towards it also.DFBXmas 2015 £1933 / £2733
Barclaycard £800 - Luma £0 - Next £00 -

I've had 3 trips to hospital with my youngest in the last 3 weeks, (Rugby injury- leg brace, fracture clinic and now physio for 6 weeks so more expense!)
Thanks Kittycat, she's doing a lot better now and the swelling has gone down significantly.Hope your youngest recovers quickly.

On it, hope you feel peaceful about the decision you make. I'm sure there are plus sides and downsides about both jobs. You just have to go with your gut.:A
