- spend at least 30 minutes this afternoon on my novel (no excuses as dd2 going to Granny's for the afternoon) 30 mons on novel donw
- clean the cutlery drawer done

Oh and Buffy NOPE don't enjoy my job I'm afraid and I don;t have any prep to do like you.

Well have used up some of the stuff that's filling my house by completing 2 circle journals with craft stuff lol!! Got to pack up the last few gifts and send them out - that'll help my living room look less cluttered - so that's the aim for tonight!

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 did it :j (at last).

It took a good hour to sort and count the loose change I had. As I said before, it wasn't a massive amount, but I now have 10 bags of 1ps and 2ps (if I can find another 2p lying around that will be 11 bags) and one bag of 5ps. So in total I have £16, which I will put into my savings next time I venture near a bank.

I'm back on track with my goals now.

Other updates:

5) Get a better job I love (and hopefully pays lots) as soon as possible - I just heard I just missed out on a job which I had an interview for a little while ago :sad: Still, I can just look upon it as interview practice.
6) Stick to a weekly budget -I spent around two thirds of my weekly budget yesterday :eek: . I'm sure I'll be able to get by as long as I keep away from temptation.

Hope everyone's well.

I'm still working at my challenges;

1) Decorate the children's bedrooms (borrowed this one from see78)
2) Research 10 year fixed deal for mortgage to pay it all off (found another deal and will keep looking)
3) Start buying for christmas 2009 straight away and WRAP AS I BUY!!
4) Don't buy any presents at full price (two half price wii games arrived today for children's birthdays).
5) Write down all presents I buy and who they're for (i've got the book to do this but can't start until i'm allowed to lift stuff again - need to empty present stash and catalogue it all).
6) Sort out new bank account once we've got a new mortgage
7) Stick to the budget every month
8) Do as much of my 2008-2009 tax return by the end of January
9) Do homework for course by 14th January (i've done 2/8 questions so want to do two more tomorrow)
10) Complete coursework for hospice care diploma
11) Pay off 0% credit card before April. I'm down to £1150 now and my new target is to pay it off before 1st March.
