Aims from end Dec 2013 to end Dec 2014:
1: Reduce mortgage debt by overpaying.
2: Final payment on credit card to clear it and close it.
3: Write one book.
4: Keep training.
5: Build up savings - have a jar I use for lose change.
6: Declutter the stuff I've accumulated over years
7: Change job
8: Keep letter writing going
9: Keep on top of workload
10: Reduce amount of stress.

That's it and I'll review it this time next year to see how I've done

Mine are so scary, I hardly dare write them down ...

1. Give up alcohol for a year
2. Pay off £10k of debt

Frankly, I'm more scared of the first one than the second, but I know it's the key to unlocking the new habits I want to take up of ...

3. Declutter the garage (eBay/car boot/tip) - to help clear the debts. Easier to get my act into gear at weekends if I haven't got a thick head from red wine.
4. Healthy eating 90% of the time - to lose weight and have more energy. Staying off alcohol helps me stay off the snacks in the evening.
5. Do more knitting - saves on snacking, uses up some of the wool mountain stash, and might even make something useful for next winter
6. Be more frugal with food - use up leftovers better

What do you think, too ambitious?

Great thread!!

1. Pay off 9k Credit card debt
2. Loose more weight
3. Excersise regularly - join running club
4. Do something creative
5. Learn to like myself

Mmmm quite a list!

Good idea!

1) Pay off credit card (£5200)
2) Lose weight (LOTS!!!)
3) Get promoted

I've got a few more but I think I'm going to leave it there and try to concentrate on them and not overload myself! :cool:

Good idea for a thread!

Mine are:
1. Pay off my two consumer debts (card and loan, just under £5k)
2. Lose weight
3. Move out

Can't do the third until I've done the first, and I reckon not spending on snacks will help me with the second

So basically we're all fat and poor?

(I hope everyone takes this as the joke it's intended to be!)

Count me in on that!

Goals:

1. Pay off credit card
2. Save some money each month towards next Christmas (so we don't get any more credit card debt!)
3. Lose about 1 stone before next Christmas

4. Get a job that suits me
5. Remember to be happy with the things I've already got (tougher than it sounds...)

Good luck everyone x

2. Try not to do anything stupid.
3. Stop spending money on rubbish when I'm in a particularly low mood.
4. Get off anti-depressants.

Fab thread!!!

1. Save £5000 (want to buy a house so this will be a start)
2. Weigh 10st 7lbs (long long longgggggggg road)
3. Get into exercise (I am a lazy sod)
4. Keep to my shopping budget (Not good at this at all)
5. Get a job (This should probably have been number 1! Oops)
6. Pass my driving test (Theory passes 13th December 2013)

We should keep this thread active while updating on our goals as we achieve them.
