Happy new year! _party_

Radish72

Last day of the holidays, back to work tomorrow

Last day staying at BF's house until Friday

I've been trying to think what goals I can set for this year, so thinking of using the following topics

January
1. Finance - make a will, since I have been saying this for over an year
2. Family/Friends - write to friends who we met on holiday
3. Health/Happiness - lose 4lbs and get my hair cut
4. Work - de-clutter inbox(30 mins/day) and write a job list each day
5. House - put blind up in downstairs loo, it has now been down for a year

I don't suppose you have very heavy hair do you - if so you could achieve both at the same time :rotfl:

GG - I do, it is very thick hair and hasn't been cut for 10 months, so there must be at least 2lb in weight :j


Just realised I have no idea how much money is in my bank account, think credit card bill will be near £1K (there is money to pay for this) and its 12 days to payday

So starting the year in complete finical control

That's cheating . Though having said that, I've just dehaired my legs and emmmm...... elsewhere....... and reckon I've lost a few pounds myself :rotfl:

Oops. Plus ca change. I on the hand know how exactly how much is in my bank account, but not how I'm going to pay my credit card bill. Like I said, plus ca change :rotfl:.

Never mind. As they said in the war:

Good list Radish and I like the idea of combining haircut and wtloss- much easier methinks...:rotfl: (*wonders if getting haircut mite lose me pre-xmas/chocolate half stone without any effort*)
good luck with your goals

Good resolutions there, Radish - best of luck with making them come true! x

I need to do a will and buy a blind for the kitchen. We have said we would make a will since having DS1. We sorted the life insurance but never got any further, although both sides of the family know who would take custody of the kids, we haven't said about much else. It's important so i guess i should mention it again to DH and pensions.

Back to work - yuck, lovely for about 2 hours as everyone chatted about Christmas and New Year, but then it just dragged. Didn't sleep at all last night for some reason, maybe as I was back on my own, so spent most of the day yawning and trying not to put head on desk for a little snooze

Have done nothing towards my January goals as have just lay on the sofa, since getting in.

So tomorrow will have to be all system go, ring hairdressers and get an appointment, hopefully for Thursday night, then I can pop into the solicitors and ask about wills, especially the cost

Work - looks like I'm going to be given a new 6 month project, which means learning a new skill and some working abroad :eek: Now thinking I shouldn't have moaned as much to my manager

Can't believe week 1 is over and done with

Back at BF's house, he is currently tidying up as he/we have a house viewing tomorrow. It is a guy from his work who has been interested for the last 4 months but can only get a mortgage in Jan this year

Been quite good on the healthy eating, no crisp or alcohol

I've had my haircut, only 5 inches chopped off so I now have a chin length bob

Made an appointment for Tuesday night so write my will, so need to decide who gets what. With writing will, registering it on the national database and VAT should be £130 which is less than I thought it would be, but I am a "simple case" followed by "I wish more people your age would think about wills" so I think insult followed by compliment :rotfl:

Work, had meeting and I will be getting more to do, so will write what when it has been announced, hoping this will make me mega busy so the weeks fly by

Had credit card bill, £1078 but I knew it would be about this and it will be paid off in full on the 11th

Checked bank account, more in than I thought but will wait until end of Jan so there are no surprises

Mortgage, if I OP £200, then mortgage will be under £19K by end of Feb. BF has O/P his this week as well so he is under £43K

BF has also installed Office on my shiny new red laptop, so can now write letters and play with spreadsheets at home
