    Hi

    Here are my weekly goals for this week:
    1. Clear hall and landing (how many shoes can a girl have!)
    2. Catch up with all the washing (about a load a day!)
    3. Catch up with all the ironing (30 mins per day)
    4. Carry on the great bedroom tidy (15 mins per day)
    5. Set a weekly meal plan
    6. Wedding job
    7. 30 mins of exercise x4
    8. List 5 things on ebay
    9. Write an exercise plan
    10. Join community organisation
    11. Call Tax Office to get answers to get answers to query.
    12. Submit electric and gas readings for new supplier.
    I have started my October plan which I will post later today!

    I was very naughty yesterday and wagered money on Blackjack and lost. Hanging my head in shame and with the very real understanding of how one can get so easily hooked. I will have to think of other ways or recouping that money!

    Borrow away!!!!

    I think I may be in trouble with the scratchies - I signed up OH and we used my card to do the sign up! Better get that sorted. Feeling a bit foolish now - all these money making schemes!

    Good Morning All,

    Am up rather early for me - but still need to get the rear end in gear.

    I promised to update my October monthly plan yesterday. Some of the items are carrying on from last month. The wedding goals are taking longer than I thought!
    1. Send the blooming tax return (just got to ask HMRC a couple of questions and then finalise the form)
    2. Wedding Job 1
    3. Wedding Job 2
    4. Wedding Job 3
    5. Wedding Job 4
    6. Wedding Job 5
    7. Create meal plans for the rest of the month using up stores where possible
    8. Lose 5lbs by following WW
    9. 30 mins exercise 4 times every week
    10. Create a plan of exercises to do at home
    11. Stick to budget and keep a spending diary
    12. 8 NSDs
    13. Ebay 5 things per week
    14. Select and buy fabric for a quilt for best friend's baby (using discount card)
    15. Earn £150 extra cash
    16. Look after me (weekly facial and go to bed at a reasonable hour)
    17. Keep following flylady
    Better get up and shower and get ready for work. I'll need to load the washing machine before I leave for work to catch up with the washing.

    Have a great day everyone.

    I look forward to reading it - I always get inspiration from other peoples' lists. That's why I love the daily 'small things' thread!

    Hey Fay -

    The origianal debt was 18K (the line through is decieving!) - more than a third paid off:j:j.

    Hey Urg, hope you feel even better when you realise you only have a third to pay off! You've paid TWO THIRDS! :j. That is brill, I thought your total was £10K something, not £18K, so even better, well done :D

    The scary thing is that I think it was around £24K before I started posting on here. I have no idea how either - a little bit here and a little bit there!

    I think I might remove the strikethrough on my signature!

    Hope you are all okay
