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

sallyx

Off to turbo list some of my ebay pile...I will get to £500 for Christmas

Have done a few surveys today - little bits towards the money targets. Hopefully going for a run tonight (was meant to go to class at gym but was cancelled). Have done myself a spreadsheet with a page for exercise, a page for debts and a page for savings - looking quite blank at the moment though!

Ok, here's my 12 week plan:

1) Finish all outstanding essays, as well as keeping up with new ones.
2) Attend the majority of meetings and events for 3 uni societies (atm, looking like being Pagan, RAG and Yoga), when they start again in 2 weeks.
3) Eat a 'proper' cooked dinner (ie, not cereal or soup) at least 3 times a week.
4) Pay off Halifax card (easiest one, tbh, it stands at £422.20 atm and can be paid off with my student loan on 30th Sept :j )

That'll do for now. In about 20 mins, I'll get on with #3, pre-packaged risotto but it's a start.

Hey everyone, can I join? You all seem to be making progress already!

Over the next 12 weeks I will:

-Apply for uni course
-Get all Christmas presents bought, paid for and wrapped and all cards written and posted
-Decorate hall and kitchen
-Sell 20 items on Ebay
-Stick to daily weight loss programme and drop a dress size
-Do something constructive every day (idea pinched from Lucifa )
-Redo my CV ready to send out in January
-Get rid of TV and cancel TV licence
-Email 1 friend a day, even if it's just to say hello

Right, I'm off to do my 'something constructive' - tidy up! :T

I'm going to add 'do something constructive every day' to mine too - has to be something other than work that makes me feel like I've done something worthwhile each day.

So far, Monday I knitted one of these - http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/thebigknit/ and Tuesday morning I planted some herb seeds on my windowsill.

It's a good idea because it can be something really small but you feel like you've achieved something. (she says, still online 20 mins after saying she was going to go and tidy up :rotfl:)
