The 12 week Debt-Life *Achieve something* Plan - WEEK 7

sallyx

Im adding another 2 things to my list

walk to work twice a week (if its not raining)

Stick to the menu plans I have written and bought and not end up buying other stuff which is convenient!

1) do exercise dvd 4 times a week
2) 4 alcohol free nights a week
3) 4 NSDs a week
4) pay off the egg card

Well at the end of week 1
1) did dvd twice, not great but half way there.
2) 3 alcohol free nights, could have been 4 but last night I succumbed when I shouldn't have.
3) 4 NSDs achieved!
4) paid £100 off the egg card on payday, not sure how much I'll manage this month though.

So, week two begins, unfortunately with a spend day because I was in uni, although hopefully it will be alcohol free if I manage to behave myself. Am too knackered to do any exercise though.

Well done Skinty

Evening all.

A good start to week 2 for me.

My house is looking a lot better. A lovely lady took all my clutter for me as a carboot lot on Freecycle (she was pleased and I am pleased - win win!!). Whilst my house isn't yet clean, I can see the floors and furniture again so will begin cleaning tomorrow and Wednesday evening.

I have added another £2 to my £100 tin so getting there with that. No more paid off the debts but I have worked out that thanks to my marathon mystery shopping month I will be able to clear my Barclaycard on payday :j. After I have Banished Barclaycard, it's time to Crush Capital One .
