Last week's thread is here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=457699
To use up all the food in the freezer and defrost before buying any new stuff Well I didn't buy any more stuff, but got some reduced fridge stuff that was near its sell by date which has gone in the freezer instead, so I didn't manage to defrost it
To go to the gym at least three times this week, I've paid for it already via subscription so make the most of it Only managed it once, because I've had a bad dose of flu
To bring my own sandwiches to work every day instead of being too lazy to make them Yes, I did this
To cancel a couple of credit cards that I've cleared and have no intention of using again Did this
To make sure I do some college work, as I'm missing the class this week due to a late shift at work Did a bit, but probably not as much as I should
To clean the car inside and out Did the outside, and planned to do the inside today, but it was just too wet to go out. That's my excuse anyway
This week
Another attempt to empty the freezer
Take my own food to work again
Cut down on my junk food intake
Make three trips to the gym
Enjoy my last week in my job.
