Last week, goals were:
1) £15 Grocery challenge again Less than £5 as only odds and ends needed!
2) Finish Martin's book! No! Haven't had chance to pick it up at all this week
3) Keep with the no smoking Yes, yes and yes!
4) Get better account for son's savings (@ £850!) Yes - S'burys at 5%, not open, but application done
5) Claim work expenses quick due to year end! Yes, thank goodness!
6) Source another birthday pressie at cheaper than shop prices Yes! Got 2 more for £18 (normally spend £20 on each).
Keeping this week's quite small, as going away...
1) Keep with no smoking
2) Spend no more than the budgeted £40 (that's activities, share in groceries, etc)
That's it for me! Have a good week all.Back on the DFW Wagon:

Hello!!
Only just noticed this thread, what a great idea to keep you motivated - like taking small steps at a time instead of looking at clearing your debt as one big slog!!
Hmm.....I've got next week off work so it's going to be difficult to come up with some goals (too tempting to spend money when I am off!!).
1. Call Alliance & Leicester to see how much is left on my loan so I can try to clear it before the end of April.
2. List at least 10 items on Ebay tonight/Tuesday so they end a week today.
3. Call Orange to arrange an upgrade on my mobile phone (12 month contract is up - can get a new phone and then sell it!!)
4. Transfer rabbit and guinea pig (Timmy and Gary!) into their new hutch in the garden so I can clean up their indoor cages and list them in the freeads paper (should fetch £50 plus!!)
5. Try to win at bingo on Wednesday night!! I don't go all the time, it's my mum's birthday on Tuesday and she wants to go to bingo to try and win our fortune. :rolleyes:
I guess that is it for now - best of luck with achieving all of your goals this week everyone!!

My first time on this thread too.
My goals for this week:
1) List some items that have been hanging around the house on Ebay.
2) Not buy expensive coffee when I go down to London on Wednesday - take bottled water with me (so much better for me )
3) Sort out where all my money is going
