Olive Oyls 12-month Countdown

We succumbed to the meal deal curries in the pub last night. 
There goes my profit on the MS :rotfl:
But today is the beginning of a new month and I've given myself a good kick up the backside as we're on the home straight now and should be blasting this debt out of the water.
So in the month of May I'm going to:- do on-line surveys -at least 2 a day
- do mystery shops -try and get a couple each week
- not buy takeaways

- not waste any money on anything!
:o - list on e-bay -5 a week
- list some books on Amazon
At least it will indicate whether those "small things" which I am so proud of, make a measurable difference

Good going on the targets so far OO, and too Pizzas..mmmmm why when i am on a diet? Will avoid those ones.LOL.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
So Pizza last night - not my favourite takeaway but free :beer:
And weight loss today
And today I have:- menu planned and shopped (DS2 is coming home for the day either Sun or Mon
) - And potted up into toilet rolls the germinated seeds of sweetcorn, peas, broccoli (only 5 out of 000's :rotfl:) leeks and tomatoes (only 4
) - Skyped Popeye who went out on the razzle last night and got home this morning

- updated signature

- and 2 loads of washing are drying in the sunshine.
- clear the "herb" patch & plant up.
- plant the chitted potatoes into the sacks that Pa gave me
- dig out a bit more of the new bed.
- pop lemonade bottle cloches over the last 3 bean plants

And now I'm going to:
- clear the "herb" patch & plant up. cleared- and I'm exhausted :rotfl:
- plant the chitted potatoes into the sacks that Pa gave me done

- dig out a bit more of the new bed. renamed the local "cat toilet" :mad: too tired yesterday......
- pop lemonade bottle cloches over the last 3 bean plants
done - I *may* have saved 6 plants
Need to clear the front garden today - there's a good crop of dandelions sending their seeds out to the neighbourhood
And the one man neighbourhood watch is out for the day so it's safe 
Need to clean the kitchen too........I perhaps should have done my potting outside
