    Ok then Doodle....

    We at the school of !!!!! kicking have decided to opt for a gentle start to your butt whipping!

    I think since we all admit we hit the point of utter de-motivation after all the payments clear, I think we should come up with a 2 week POA (Plan of Action), and then we all harass each other through the medium and power of forum posting to get those things done.

    i.e
    I will change my American dollars this week into Sterling.....
    I will claim back my £12 in expenses
    I will complete at least one dooyoo review everyday
    I will list 4 items on ebay within the 2 week period

    So not necessarily making extra payments but all things that go toward being able to make an extra payments, so when Im sitting here moaning about how Ive got to wait till payday etc, I can be listing on ebay or dooyoo-ing

    I'm not sure screaming "Pay your bills..... Get on Dooyoo" would get anyone's rocks off but hey... you never know!

    Woohoooooooo

    Feels like a bit of a milestone.... only 15 more of them to go LOL

    Going to go through my wardrobe this week and find a few bits to sell on Ebay, got a coffee machine we got as a wedding present that sits there doing nowt, so that can go on.
    Also need to take our remaining dollars in and get those changed...

    Feeling a lot more positive and supercharged after hitting that....
    I want that feeling again.... and soon!
    well done - and it another 14 to go unless you owe more than 15!

    Ok my POA (it's like being at work lol) for the forthcoming week is:

    - at least 2 dooyoo reviews a day
    - list at least 2 items on Ebay a day
    - daily clicks
    - earn at least £2 on STP a day

    Think that will do for now :D

    I think the 2 week POA is a great idea... that is why I'm on the £10 a day challenge. I'm going to have more large expenses to claim back in the next month or two so I need to keep on top of that. Things I should do...

    1) reclaim 4x £3 M&S gambling transaction fees - charged on the stakes I was getting cash back on. Since I was in credit at the time I am doublely annoyed about it
    2) send a letter of complaint to our mortgage provider for the time they took - expect to get £100-200 out of that (outstanding since July!!!)
    3) Sell my desk - its in the shed - I took pictures weeks if not months ago but not done anything about it yet...
    4) Take a dolce gusto coffee pod back - I only got it as I had a free voucher and I forgot to use the voucher £4!!!!!!!!!
    5) Take oxy action thingy back - opened it and someone had already opened it oooooh - need to find receipt poss about £3!!!!!!!
    6) Take some school trousers back to George/T not sure which and get correct size!
    7) Continue £10 a day challenge...

    I have taken £13 worth of school trousers back to M&S. If I think of any others I'll let you know...
