    My aims are
    apply for my letters, to be done in January
    clear 3 debts next year
    lose weight so we can start trying for a baby (argh scary one that)
    spend as much time as possible with my dad as it may be the last time that we can

    'Apply for my letters'? What does this mean? (Just being curious).

    These responses are reminding me of what William Morris once said: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”.

    I think I need to stick that up somewhere to inspire me to continue the decluttering :T

    My new years resolutions are:

    1. Eat healthier - Which means I'm going to visit the OS board a lot more.
    2. Clear my overdraft - Currently at £850:eek: (That looks really scary written down)
    3. Not buy any smellies as I have enough shampoo/shower gel to keep me going for a year.
    4. Not buy any clothes as I have enough and seem to wear the same clothes all the time even though I have a wardrobe at bursting point.
    5. Pay off as much of my credit card as I can
    6. Try not too get stressed out with my studying
    Tesco: £1361.19, Vanquis: £2644.73, Very: £563.08, Next: £1636.95, M&S: £1049.92. As of 5th February 2024. Slava Ukraini

    Well my New year Resolutions are .....

    1. To carry on with the weight loss. Like to lose 2 stone next year, which works out at about half a pound a week (any more is a bonus)
    2. To declutter the house. Its really getting me down so next year is the time to do it, once and for all.
    3. To sell as much stuff from 2 above on ebay etc and put the money towards the MSc I hope to start in 2010.
    4. To hang onto my job. I know I may have to do a slightly lower graded job, but since I was never paid the rate for the job I was doing, the money aspect isn't an issue (as I'm already on the pay for a lower grade).
    5. To find one good thing to be grateful for every day. Could be the fact its a sunny day, or stroking the cat ... little things like that do make me happy. And they're free
    Debts (incl Mortgage) at LBM (24/09/08) £102849 :eek: Now £0. DFD 1st July 2019

    MargB, that is a wonderful suggestion. I think I am going to do that too :T
