The 'complete this challenge' challenge...suitable for all!

Hi,

Hope all is well with everyone.

I am going to keep my plan for the week ahead fairly simply this week and just focus on a couple of things. Mainly, health/fitness and clearing backlog of paperwork. Anything else that gets completed will be an added bonus. If I get good results from this then it will give me added motivation to really go for the rest of my July goals next week. Will let you know how I get on.

Ciao for now.

Well done micron, on your weight loss and Flylady achievements :T. I am sure you will accomplish your goals for July.

My visitors have now gone and we had a few lovely, if exhausting, day trips over the weekend.

I will not be around much over the next month, as we are now off camping and sailing until the end of the month, followed by another lot of 6 visitors, staying with us until Mid-August.

I have decided to take the majority of the next month off and just enjoy the school holidays with family and visitors, while keeping an eye on my fitness/weight and longer term plans.

I will be back with a vengeance come the middle of August though, when the school's are back.

Have a great summer x.

Hi scrooge,

Enjoy camping and sailing - sounds wonderful. You sure do deserve the next month off to enjoy the holidays with friends and family.

You will be missed whilst you are away. Looking forward to hearing all about it on your return. I'm sure you will manage to stay trim and fit whilst away. I will have to try to stay motivated without you there cheering me on.

Enjoy.

Enjoy the break scrooge. I am sure it will leave you refreshed and raring to go.

Micron - i am still about, but not really getting up to much until the bathroom work is finished. That is due to be done tomorrow. I then have a bit if paper i brainstormed with DH on that i want to make into a proper action plan, so expect me back in force later in the week. You sound like you are doing well.

Hi Michelle,

Glad to know you are still about. Just think, one more day and your bathroom will be complete. Now that sure is something to look forward to. You have done well to stay sane throughout the whole thing.

Looking forward to having you back next week all fired up an raring to go.

Hi,

After lurking for weeks I've finally decided to post and say hello
I've been posting my to-do lists on the mfw board, but I think my diary doesn't really fit in there anymore, as I haven't really got any spare funds to overpay at the moment.
I'm going to post and run, as I have to take DS2 to be weighed by the health visitor now, but I will be back later this evening with my monster to-do list.
Hope you are all having a good day

Welcome LittleBit,

Glad you have come out of lurkdom. I was a lurking for a long time too so I know where you are coming from.

You will get lots of encouragement and support on this thread to whiz through your to do lists.

Ciao for now

Thanks for the welcome Micron

Ok, my list is for the next 100 days starting from today. The aim is that I have to do at least 1 thing a day, but hopefully I'll get through quite a few more than that a day.

These should help me declutter the house, make it look a bit nicer and go some way towards getting it looking a bit more homely. Hopefully we should make a bit of money on the way too.

So far I have


1[STRIKE]) List baby gym on Ebay[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]2) List Jumperoo on Ebay[/STRIKE]
3) Get maternity clothes out of the loft
4) List 5 items of maternity clothes on Ebay
5) Finish touching up the paint work in the kitchen
6) Finish the skirting in the playroom
7) Put up the curtain tie-backs in DS2s room
8) Finish the trim in the kitchen
[STRIKE]9) Clear out the playroom[/STRIKE]
10) Ebay anything no longer wanted from the playroom
10) Clear out DS1s wardrobe
11) Ebay the things cleared out of DS1s wardrobe
12) Paint DS1s room
13) Put down laminate in the bathroom
14) Ebay DS2s bouncing chair
15) Ebay the shoes DS1 has grown out of
[STRIKE]16) Put through my Avon order - my first month of being a rep[/STRIKE]
17) Give out the new Avon catalogues
18) List 5 items of DS2s clothes on Ebay
19) List 5 more items of DS2s clothes on Ebay
20) Clear out my wardrobe
21) Clear out my other wardrobe
[STRIKE]22) Clear out the kitchen cupboards[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]23) Clear out under the sink[/STRIKE]
24) Freecycle anything no longer needed from under the sink
[STRIKE]25) Freecycle anything no longer needed from the kitchen cupboards[/STRIKE]

I've only come up with these 25 so far, but as you can see I've been pretty busy and made a good start already. I have both boys at home with me tomorrow, so will probably not get much done, but I'm going to take them to the park in the morning to wear them out and hopefully they'll nap at the same time in the afternoon.

That's a fantastic start LittleBit. You have already crossed off 7 items from 25. Good luck with the Avon orders. I think there is a thread on MSE for making money with Avon. If you have not already subscribed to it it may be worth having a look.

Hi all,

I had a fairly lazy day today but will be back on the "complete my list" over the weekend. I have been fairly good with my eating habits this week (although I did have a moment of weakness and ate a packet of crisps today) so I am hoping for a loss of at least a pound or two.

Hope all is well with everyone.
