Morning all,
Not sure who follows my diary etc but I know I speak to some on here. So for those who don't know. Sainsburys have made me permanent meaning I can be debt free by August this year!
I'll also be able to do a lot more payments a day now

Thank you! Yep, can't wait. That's just based on normal hours with Sainsburys so including over time it could be less than 5 months xshell16 said:

Morning all,
Just had my sainsburys payslip and they've basically owed me money since December as the system they use to track pay hasnt worked properly. So I'm up an extra £300 which is a bonus! Will see who I can pay what to later I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe boards and spending & discounts boards.
