Last weeks...

1) Get the hang of Quidco ...done(ish)

3) List 2 things on ebay & pack up other stuff (done)
4) Sort summer clothes & car boot what doesnt fit...(done - just have to iron them!!)
5) 3 no spend days (managed 2)

1) 3 no spend days
2) 1 excercise session
3) Car boot on sat - get stuff ready for it & be lethal with junk
4) Send invoices etc for new work

My aims for this week are,

1. Get my bike sorted out so I don't spend so much on buses.
2. Keep to my meal plan.
3. Bring lunch to work at least 4 days this week.
4. Start sorting out stuff to sell on ebay.
5. Finally get round to sorting out new contact lens supplier.

My goals:

1) Get all the baby stuff on ebay - clothes, bottles the lot.
2) Contact Powergen about why I had been sent a bill for 7 months for £250!! Thought it was supposed to be quarterly.
3) Get the bulky stuff like desks and ironing board sold (not sure how, already put ad in paper & in the shop!)
4) Not catch the bus betwen home & the stop my week pass starts from more than 3 times this week.

I haven't taken part in this for a while... so here goes for this week!

1) - I have £50 and out of this I need to buy a work skirt, a couple of smart tops, a pair of black shoes and get my hair trimmed as I'm starting a new job at the beginning of July... I also have a £10 New Look voucher I can use towards the cost, but I'm going to try the cheaper shops first (Matalan, Peacocks and George.) I am due one more JSA payment, but this will have to go towards my bus fare for getting to and from work.

2) - Do at least two exercise sessions of thirty minutes or more.

3) - Weigh myself and see if I've lost 2.5lbs to take me to my target of losing my first stone. If not, do NOT reach for chocolate to console myself!

4) - Have a pile of books I can't list on Amazon as not in their book catalogue, need to sort through them and get rid of some to the charity shop and see if I can put the rest on Green Metropolis.

A week already! Where does the time go?

Last week's goals were:

Plan meals for the week - done;
Try ASDA online shopping for price and quality comparison wth Tesco - done but will stick with Tescos;
Make the meals that I've planned - five out of seven days but my little girl had an accident and ended up in hospital which sort of put my plans out of sorts;
Take a skim through Allan Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking and write down notes (sad I know but I really want to quit and the method hasn't quite got there yet!) - no notes taken, but stopped smoking and have already saved over £25;
Weed the garden - carried forward;
Jet spray the pathways - carried forward;
Look out some books for selling on Amazon - done but nothing worth selling.

This week's goals are:

Now that I've stopped smoking I can have 3 no spend days (at least!);
Plan meals for the week;
Make the meals that I've planned;
Weed the garden;
Jet spray the pathways

I suspect that this week will be a bit of a challenge as I'm starting back to work on Tuesday after maternity leave.

Best of luck to everyone with their goals.

I'm new to this so none from last week, however, for this week mine are:

Have 2 no spend days (not including things I can claim back from work)
Take my lunch to work every day
Buy a maximum of one magazine
If I go out spend a maximum of 20 pounds
Spend less than five pounds on groceries during the week

WelshWoofer · 18 June 2006 at 7:18PM

last weeks......
1. Send required info back to tax office to make them give me back what I'm owed (maybe 2000 quid!) - found some bits required but still not all
2. Stop smoking - allergies have come back with a vengence and smoking really isn't helping with summertime asthma - have cut back but not totally stopped
3. Have 3 no spend days - managed 1 total NSD and 2 with less than 2quid
4. Take back stuff to Trafford Centre that was bought in a weak moment and I don't even really like (still in carrier bags!) - about 60 quids worth - and put the cash into my holiday account - done
5. Sort out wardrobes as I can't get anything into them and sell/charity shop what I don't use. - nope
6. Go to gym/pool at least twice.(Bikini wearing time coming up soon and there's about a stone that needs shifting!) - went to gym once and took dog for 3 very long walks - must try harder!

This week....

1. do tax refund paperwork
2. 2 no spend days
3. 3 exercise sessions
4. collect holiday money from bank (already payed for but can't seem to get around to picking it up)
5. try chucking some stuff out of wardrobes (again!)

Must try harder!
