It's Sunday morning - which means it's goals time again. If you posted a to-do list last week, let's hear how well you've done (click here for last week's thread).
And if this is your first time, it's pretty simple. Post a list of the things you aim to do in the next seven days - having a public record of it might help you achieve them. And come back next week to tell us how you've done.
Last week's goals
And here are mine for next week
And if this is your first time, it's pretty simple. Post a list of the things you aim to do in the next seven days - having a public record of it might help you achieve them. And come back next week to tell us how you've done.
Last week's goals
- Strictly £100 budget for everything this week
-- £100.21, but I don't think I'll beat myself up too much about that extra 21p. - Take lunch to work (or make lunch at work) at least two days
-- Only managed one day. Work kitchen is still unsuitable for preparing food. - Aim for at least two no-alcohol days
-- Didn't manage a single one. Which is pretty crap, all things considered. - Catch up on all the MSE threads I've been meaning to read this week
-- At least I did something as planned this week. - Stop buying so many lunches and coffees and stuff
-- Getting there with the coffees. Lunches still need some working on.
And here are mine for next week
- £100 absolute maximum for everything
- I've given myself a three day week: take lunch to work at least once
- Do a good job on Thu and Fri (freelancing elsewhere during my annual leave)
- Sort out Egg. They blocked Egg Green card - not Egg Money as requested.
- Beginning looking at flats on internet - contemplating a move to Brighton.
- Book a meeting to discuss progress at work (three months since I started).
- Find first £200 for my overdraft challenge (see below)
