    Hi everyone

    I would like to apologise to everyone else in this challenge as I am rubbish!! Still been having problems with my ex but I think we turned a corner now so it should be calming down again.

    Here is how I got on:
    1. Get to at least £300 in AQA account - I will get to around £200 by the end of the day.
    2. Clean bathroom
    3. [STRIKE]Complete mystery shop on 27th and get at least 1 more[/STRIKE] - I did this and got another 2 more for next week.
    4. List 5 items on Ebay on Sunday evening
    5. [STRIKE]Start BIL's Christmas hamper [/STRIKE] - I have at least started this.
    6. Finish auntie's Christmas hamper
    7. Get another £10 voucher on Dooyoo.
    8. Finish putting Xmas decs up!!
    Totally rubbish!!

    Here is my new list and hopefully I can get a lot more done.
    1. Get to £180 in my AQA account (100 questions a day from tomorrow).
    2. Complete my 4 mystery shops booked for next week and try to get another 2.
    3. Get another £10 Amazon voucher through Dooyoo.
    4. Clean the bathroom
    5. Do all my washing
    6. List 5 things on Ebay
    I think that will do for this week so I stand a chance of getting it all done!!

    Morning everyone




    Right, I've decided - enough of sitting here reading other people's lists it's time to do my own.
    Jobs for W/E 30/1108
    1. Tidy bedroom and find some floor space Not quite
    2. Do all the washing and ironing Not quite
    3. Write the christmas cards Definately do today
    4. Buy the christmas cards for parents, boyfriend etc Er, no
    5. Go on my treadmill at least 3x30mins No and no excuse
    6. [strike]Do tax return[/strike]:T Woo hoo done it!
    7. Sort through important papers and shred the ones I don't need Shredder still in cupboard
    8. [strike] Order the dogs' worming pills[/strike] All ready for tomorrow
    9. [strike]Do at least 4 reviews on dooyoo[/strike] Done 6 reviews
    If I haven't done this lot by next Sunday (unless there's a good excuse) you have my permission to shout at me!!
    I've done really badly this week and there's no excuses. Anyone reading this has my permission to kick me up the bum!

    My list for this week
    1. Write all the christmas cards so parents can take family ones down south next week and save me postage
    2. Do 4 reviews on dooyoo
    3. Shred paperwork
    4. Clean house ready for parents visit next weekend
    5. Still work on washing and ironing
    6. Have a pamper session prior to christmas do next Friday
    7. Wrap family christmas presents
    8. Do mystery shop tomorrow
    9. Go on treadmill twice this week (let's not be too ambitious)
    I know it's a longer list but some of it will have to be done before next weekend anyway so added extra to compensate.

    Emily, you're not rubbish at this. You've got a lot on your plate at the moment and you're still managing to do loads - and you've inspired loads of people on this and other challenges you've started. Well done and thanks for all the hard work you do. :T
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:
