Hi guys,

I realise that the 10 weeks are up but I've been busy and nto had the chance to [strick]confess [/strike] tell you all how it has gone. Here goes:

In 12 weeks I will have:

1) Saved £1000 to pay off my overdraft, which is due to become interest paying from January. (That's on top of all my normal expenses.) Paid £660.76 so far, and off my CC as I have had a reconsideration of where all the cash should go. Have only just been paid so still haven't quite figured out how much I can pay off this month. (Probably not the remaining £339.33, but it's a start).
2) Be considerably fitter, and preferably lighter as well (will calculate a figure for that later)*. Hmm...not really got onto this one. New year, new figure, new life.
3) Have launched myself on a genuine career path, as opposed to just taking what comes along. Am working on applying for the work experience I need for that today.

[EDIT]

4) Sell all my excess stuff on Ebay. Haven't sold everything but have earned about £200 and given it a darned good try.
5) Buy, wrap and give all my Christmas presents. All bought and all wrapped apart from 2 which arrived this morning
6) Knit cardigans/blankets for all the babies my friends keep having! Haven't done this as mum hasn't shown me how to, but I've badgered her again this morning and will be starting ASAP.

Wow, that sounds so unsuccesful when I put it like that. Perhaps I need to stop getting so distracted by all the stuff going on around me.

Right, focusing, that's my new 10 week challenge and New Year's resolution. Now if someone could now please just point me in the direction of the new thread....:rolleyes:
