pixie1

I havent done too well at my goals recently but this week seems to be a little different for some reason, even though I have amanic week at work ahead, Im feel kind of in control of the other parts of my hetic life LOL. So here goes.

My goals for THIS week:-

*4 no spend days (I have a manic week ahead at work so I doubt i will even get a lunchbreak most days so this should actually help )
*List at least 10 items on turbo lister to upload on ebay on Thursday (Hubby is working away two nights this week so if I dont use this time wisely i need a kick up the butt!! )
*Stick to my diet as it costs me ££ (Its my weigh in tomorrow - will keep you posted)
*Sort out travel plans for the dfw day out (I cant even find the old thread anymore )
*Send the prelim letter to the Halifax regards to my charges now that I have the actual figure i want to persue.

Good luck everyone!!!

Hello everyone

My goals for last week were:

1. Get another voucher towards my present fund. - Not achieved, I am sooo close to getting a £10 Amazon voucher from Test and Vote so I'm nearly there!!

2. Get another 2 mystery shopping jobs. - Again not achieved, I only managed to get 1 mystery shopping job which I'm doing this Friday. In my defence, I can't drive for another couple of weeks so I am having to be picky about what jobs I can take.

3. Complete the training for AQA and get started earning straight away. - Nearly achieved, I've got my training tomorrow morning so I will be able to get started soon.

4. Join the £2 coin savers club and get £10 (already got £6!) - Not achieved yet again, I only managed to save £8 this week.

5. Aim to get £50 towards paying off Alliance & Leicester loan. - Achieved!! I sold £50 worth of stuff on Amazon and the money is winging it's way to my savings account!!

My goals for this week are:

1. Get another voucher for my present fund.
2. List at least 10 items on Ebay.
3. Join 20p coin savers club and save at least £10.
4. Save £20 worth of £2 coins.
5. Try to get 2 more Mystery Shopping jobs.
6. Get back into competitions and aim to win at least 1 prize.

Best of luck with all of your goals!!

Goals for the week:

1. Pay in £30 loose change into bank - already bagged up and ready.

2. Chase up money owed from council re overpayment.

3. Send indignant letter to bank re one letter saying I have charges back and one saying I haven't - will push for compensation on this one.

4. Take lunches to work all week after two lunches out last. :eek:

5. Attempt Kellogg's DAJS diet Monday to Friday only - willpower not strong enough for the whole week! - and lose 2lbs.

6. Go to gym three times this week.
