    Thanks all for the support of getting to the 2ks!!

    Sorry been quiet lately, just been stressed and tired. But I've decided to start looking for a new job to replace the main full-time one. No rush obviously, just if I see something I fancy I might apply :smile:

    Jade you have made some amazing progress, you must be so happy to keep creeping closer to that end goal. It is of very little surprise you are tired, just try remember as much as the end goal is getting there quicker with what you are doing that you also take care of yourself too.

    Good luck with the job hunt.

    Understandable that you’re stressed and tired. You’re probably more tired than me with the amount you work… and I have a 14 week old baby :lol:

    Its good that you have access to working overtime at Sainsbury's but maybe one week a month you could maybe not pick up any over time? I know it’ll mean reaching your debt free goal a little later but you don’t want to run the risk of burnout!

    Haha, thank you! Awww cute :smile:

    Agreed, they've cut overtime now for the time being due to budget cuts. I've got no over time booked this week or anything in advance. Hence why I'm just looking around for maybe another part time job that fits around sainsburys. Hopefully something pops up soon!
