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

Morning everyone and Happy New Year!!

I feel like this challenge has really started now that it's a new year.

My tasks for January are:

1. Answer 50 questions on AQA every weekday and 100 questions on Saturdays and Sundays. If I do this then I will get to £600 by the end of the month. Will do 50 today - already done 20.
2. Get £50 worth of Amazon vouchers on Dooyoo. Nearly got to £10 already.
3. Find a way to get back the £8.10 I've spent on presents/cards.
4. List 20 items on Ebay (5 on each Sunday). Already listed 10 items which finish on Sunday.
5. Complete tax return.

I have spent £3.11 on cat food this morning (the cheapest I could find, should last at least a week).

I'm at my mum's for most of the day but have already put a wash on today and this evening I am going to tidy the kitchen and put my washing out to dry. I want to try and get to a £10 voucher on Dooyoo today as well.

Have a good day everyone .

Happy New Year everyone!

I joined lula-hula's £100 a year clothes budget challenge yesterday, so if I add that here then it means I've got to stick to it.

We started the new year as we mean to go on - was tidying DS's bedroom until 11.45 last night, and writing a list after than of how we're going to get ourselves sorted out this year. Once I've tidied it all up, I'm going to post it on here so that it is committed in stone! Doing not too badly today so far but nothing notable achieved yet as DH is at work so I'm keeping the kids amused.

Might take a look at the 100 day challenge. Or maybe not - don't want to join unless I can definitely complete it. Will have a think!

Having just had the laziest day ever - got up at 11, been slobbing with DS on the sofa or playing with him and his toys for most of the day - I think I need to get a list going of all the things I need to do tonight. OH is at work for 1900, so once DS is in bed, the housework will begin!

*Get all the recycling from around the house and put it out
*Empty all the rubbish bins
*Put toys away
*Hoover downstairs (and upstairs once DS is asleep), and sofa (Charlie took advantage of an open stair gate last night as slept on it!)
*Clean kitchen floor and move a few bits around
*Start listing ebay items on Turbolister
*Clean Bathroom
*Sort out paperwork [STRIKE]file[/STRIKE] pile and shred as needed

I have, in between playing/slobbing with Connor, cleaned the kitchen sides, done the washing up, done the washing, sorted out the huge toiletries/present cupboard, fixed the shelf and put the clean laundry away, but still I have lots to do tonight.
On late night tomorrow (1430 start) and DS is at nursery from 0800, so it doesn't matter if I'm up late tonight Good job really!

I did my 5 a day posting on ebid - had to join first, register a card, blah blah. Very pleased to have made a start, but no idea whether or not the magazines will sell.

pandapaws

Wow Sarah, you really put me to shame. Your stuff that you didn't include on the list is more than I've managed to do all day, even with a big list to work to.

KC, fab that you've finally got going with ebid - I'll be watching closely to see whether or not it's worth registering with them. In fact I think I am already registered, but didn't get as far as listing anything.

Tonight, while at work, I will:

• Write thank-you cards for Christmas presents
• Check all my email accounts
• Do any surveys that have been sent today
• Tidy up my Ebay shop

Oh, and maybe do a little bit of work ...not too much though.:p
