Goals for week commencing 19 November

Options
Last week's thread is here

-- Keep hacking away at freelance work and hopefully fix up some more.
Done. Fixed up a shift on The Guardian next week, which is nice. Slowly getting on with other work.

-- List unwanted/unloved CDs and books on Amazon
Done. Put a batch of them online last night. If they sell that'll be about £50 in Christmas cash.

-- Catch up with the people I've been meaning to for ages, and find a cheap way of meeting up with them again.
Did the catching up, didn't quite do the cheap.

-- Try to get below that magical £100 limit. Don't feel too bad if it's £110ish.
£133.80, but it feels like I've done a lot for that. Normality resumes next week.

Next week:

-- £120 limit for everything.
-- Put some more books on Amazon.
-- Crack on with freelance work on Monday and Friday.
