What do other's think? It works quite well to update on the week just passed and set next week's goals all in one go but maybe this can be acheived somehow. Or post an update in one thread and next challenges in another? Can you tell I've got nothing better to think about than arrangements of threads?! :rotfl:Don't stress, relax, let life roll off your backs.

I think having a new thread starting every Sunday would be excellent. We could post our new goals on that one and just update the previous weeks regards to which goals we managed to meet. We could call it Challenges w/c 12th Feb with i sub note saying Updates on 18th - so something like that.
For mine last week.
I didnt manage to take my lunch into work every day but 4 out of 5 isnt too bad (for me :blush) I also sent off all my cccs letters and a treated myself to Martins book
A good week in all i think:jDebt Free At Last!:j0 -
I second pixie 1 on this one. I think a new thread every Sunday is a great idea. I like the idea of this and it gives me a kick up the backside and helps me sort out my goals.
Thanks for starting this thread pixie 10 -

Totally agree, its a great motivator when I have to come on here and tell all about how I did. Decided to give myself scores too, not sure why, spur of the moment thing!! Will try to make my challenges achievable but challenging (you don't say :rolleyes: ) so that I have a chance of doing them but they are not ridiculously easy.
I already do this with my university work, make a list of everything that needs to be done in the next week and then tick them off when they're done. It keeps me on track and gives a sense of achievement. As time has gone on I've started writing them in more and more detail, every little thing I need to do, so stop me if I start writing essays for this thread each week!!!
Have a great week everyone
