I Aim To Get This Done By Next Week (IATGTDBNW)

Snappy title, snappy concept.
Last week, you (collectively) aimed to dye your hair, stop partying until 4am and cut back on fizzy drinks. Oh, and open a "parachute bank account", which sounds quite fun, but probably isn't.
I aimed to have a cheap week. And failed, overspending by £20
and to fix up more freelance shifts. I've been offered a full-time job, which is nice.
Tell us whether you succeeded in your goals for last week. Or if you're new, set a bunch of things you aim to do by next Sunday (will post mine a bit later).
And report back - it's awfully lonely if you don't.
