CosmoCat · 4 June 2006 at 2:21PM

Okay seeing that we started this on the other thread I decided to open a new one here!
(hope i'm not stepping on anyone's toes

)

These were mine-

1: Transfer money and house ddebits to new account. Am in the process of doing this, welcome pack only came on Saturday
2: Find the local butchers (running low on meat) Did this. Worked out so much cheaper!! Am chuffed
3: List items on ebay (waiting for low price listing day) Did this today. Not a low price list day, but what the heck
4: Get fees sorted for Saturday's work Sorted and pleased.
5: 5 no spend days (have to make up for stupid spending saturday gone ) Think I managed 3

Okay, my goals for this week.

1: Transfer money to new account to cover ddebits that will be coming out of there
2: 4 no-spend days!! Back to basics.
3: Stick firm to £20 budget for drinks on Wednesday night!
4: Finish reading books so that I can list them on Amazon.
5: Chase up fees that haven't been paid to me.

Not really much I can think of. Will edit if i think of any more.

Hope everyone has a great DFW week!!

Mrs_Sparkle · 4 June 2006 at 7:48PM

OK, my first time doing this so I have no goals from last week (except joining this forum which I obviously did so I'll count that as a success!)

This week:

1. 3 no spend days
2. Put expenses in before Weds (deadline for June payday)
3. List 10 books on Amazon
4. Change bank account to married name (I have the form but have been putting it off)
5. Pay in 6 cheques which have arrived in my married name
6. Find more stuff to list on eBay

Well that should keep me busy!

LookingAhead · 4 June 2006 at 8:02PM

There were goals for last week and how I got on.

1. Try for at least 2 no spend days. NO <sigh> :rolleyes: although I would have achieved this if I hadn't of had to spend on bus fare 2 days.
2. Bank some spare change - even if it is only a quid or so, better to use the HSBC change machine & put it back in the bank than have it frittered away if it is in my purse. NO...it's still sitting in a tin waiting to be banked this week hopefully.
3. When I go to get the remainder of fresh veggies needed for the latter part of the week....leave the supermarket with ONLY THE FRESH VEGGIES NEEDED FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK! NO....I did buy other things which I again needed but had forgotten about however some Green & Blacks chocolate which clearly no-one ever needs managed to find it's way into my basket
4. Get out at walk a bit more at lunchtimes - weather permitting. (I hope this foul weather is on it's way out....today is lovely...want more like this. YAY! Did this every day

So basically last week was pretty !!!!!! eh?

This week I will attempt:

1. One no spend day although this is going to be tough as two days I am going out after work, I will probably need to get the bus at least once, buy a birthday card and I need to get top up veggies towards end of week. I will see what I can do to to try and lump them all in on the same day where possible!
2. Post letters to close unused storecards that I found in the depths of my purse yesterday (they have been cut to ribbons since :T )
3. Bank those coins!!
4. Spend as little as possible (without being a sponger) & try to arrange lifts when I go out this week after work.
