    7. Two days chocolate free

    I am halfway to one goal already :D

    (It had got silly, I've always been partial to the odd bit and could stop, but since Christmas I've noticed it's been the odd bit a few times a day... hence this goal!)

    I'm also feeling really happy as I'm a very underconfident cook but yesterday I went OldStyle and it was fine, plus today we had the bolstered leftovers and it was a really nice meal.

    Sorry to come on here and praise myself right at the start of the week but it's nice to feel positive :D

    My goals for this week:
    • Sort out stuff for ebay (told kids and OH to get all things no longer using or need to sell)
    • Find cheaper car insurance
    • Use car as little as possible no trips to local shop I can walk there! :eek:
    • Look for other areas I can save.
    Wish me luck!

    Hiya,

    I'm new to this thread too, so I guess I'd better start by making some initial goals.

    Doing a spreadsheet is a good idea, so I will have a go at that.

    Taking a lunch into work with me every day and not go to sarnie van.

    Walk to town when I need to go, rather than spending £1.00 on a single trip to town.

    See how much I've got put away for my Dads 65th birthday pressie (mini cruise)

    Last weeks goals:

    1. List 100 things on ebay - want to get listings up to 300 (listed 100 items just!! didn't get over the 300 listings as some stuff sold :j so cant complain!
    2. Get washing and ironing up to date - fed up with not having ironed clothes to wear (done most of it apart from items that need handwashed ... will get round to it but not this week!)
    3. To have at least 2 no spend days - probably Wednesday and Friday ( Wednesday and Sunday no spend days managed by not leaving the house on Sunday!)

    This weeks goals:

    1. List some more stuff on ebay - maybe around 50 items
    2. Bank £2.00 coin and loose change savings
    3. Phone a joiner to get window fixed - it's letting water in and has been for the last 2years just never get round to dealing with it and couldn't afford it! (have been putting away some of ebay money to pay for it ... just hope its enough!
    4. Take lunch with me to work every day (on a course 2moro so lunch should be provided .... can't beat a free lunch :T )
    5. Have another 2 no spend days - Wednesday and Thursday

    Just hope I can do it :rotfl:
