Oh - my first mess up.
I intended to sort out all my loose change into bags and it completely slipped my mind.
I will do it tomorrow.
I feel so dissapointed in myself- it's such a small thing compared to what everyone else is doing too.
Looking forward to the future.0 -
Goooooooooooooood Morning:D
well I continue to Wii Fit and tonight am going to Taebo for the first time in over a year.
Mseingwise I did use my tesco vouchers yesterday to pay for a mag subscription as a pressie for a friend so that save me £20 on the subscription price:D . I am off to the bank to pay the electric bill early to get a £3ish reduction for early payment. I also managed to get enough bingopoints to redeem for 2 x £5 amazon vouchers this week.
good luck everyone:D£2 savers club 2025 #40 -

Oh Babs! But also read in everyone else's posts what they/we *aren't* doing. There was a whole discussion on Pandapaws' thread the other day about carrying over jobs that haven't been done to the next day.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Only a couple of jobs for today, because a) its late and b) I *really* can't be fussed!
Tonights jobs are:
*Washing up
*Empty recycle bin and rubbish bin
*Laundry pile - and I *will* do it today!

- Do a freezer/fridge/cupboard inventory and then some meal planning for the next couple of weeks. I usually give up with meal planning after a few weeks but this time I'll try and keep it up throughout the year. Haven't done the inventory as everything is so full of stuff it would take ages so instead my meals are planned around what I can see.
- Joined the £100 on clothes in a year challenge - I spend very little on clothes anyway so I'm not expecting this to be too difficult. Have spent £13 so far but it was in the sale and I did save about £20.
- List my old multi-fuel stove on e-bay plus a couple of other bits and pieces and then try and list at least one thing a month (I know that doesn't seem a lot but I really do struggle with procrastination so one thing a month is actually an achievement).I have done this tonight so hope to use this to pay something off my overdraft.
All in all I'm really pleased with the way things are going but I'm just aiming to keep up with these challenges for the moment.
Have a good week everyone.

Thanks Karmacat. I feel a little better. But I still didn't do it again. :mad:
Though I did have a few other tasks to do today, so I have been busy.
I promise everyone on here that I will do it tomorrow, or I will face the shame.
