& 4 to go.
I'm so please I have managed to clear my 1st debt & have 4 more to go. My overdraft, credit card, car & my mortgage (which has a couple of payments missing). I know it's going to take me a while but I'll get there in the end, I'm worried they are going to change my shift patterns so I'll stop doing three 13 hour days to 5 shifts a week that make 37.5 hours, as when I do the 13 hour shifts I can still do a couple of extra shifts a week, to make extra to pay off my debts.
