Shaking off the debt

Today's effort has been to apply for an evening job. I spoke with DH about it, and he isn't thrilled about the idea, but does understand that it isn't forever, just to make a bit of a dent into reducing the totals. I'll keep my eye out as we head towards the festive season for other temporary jobs too. I'm keen not to lose my weekends as I really do value them as I get older, and have commitments already in place for a large number of them.Natwest OD - Start: £1,500 Current: £1,500 | Creation Loan - Start: £2,152.33 Current: £2,082.90 | Barclaycard CC - Start: £5,242.42 Current: £5,416.45 | Novuna Loan - Start: £8,598.43 Current: £8,366.04 | Tesco CC - Start: £9,420.22 Current: £9,885 | Northridge Car - Start: £15,584 Current: £15,017
