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

cat4772

I definitely need to join this one!

My plan for the next 12 weeks is:

* aim to lose lbs (24 = excellent, 18 = good, 15 = ideal or 12 for a bare minimum)
* write to work to confirm my return to work date
* menu plan each week
* make list and stick to it for grocery shopping
* exercise for 30 minutes each day (walking or DVD)
* Housework - tackle one room for 15 minutes each day and declutter
* write christmas cards and send them out
* make/buy and wrap all christmas presents
* ebay my maternity clothes (especially the larger sizes cos even if I do have another kiddywink, I'm going to be at least 3 if not 4 dress sizes smaller by the end of next year and won't need the larger ones)!
*guess i have to learn how to sell my stuff on ebay first!!
* take my tablets every day (and not when I wonder when I last took one)!

I'm looking forward to this

Thanks to Sally for starting this:A, hope I'm not too late to join, I would like to:

1. Get savings to 33% of target
2. Lose ten pounds
3. Be able to comfortably run 10K again.

There seems to be an awful lot of "necessary" spends before the end of the year so I really must make a bit extra to achieve number 1 (especially if I want to buy any gifts:D).

Didn't manage anything today, as had a trip to tesco, gave OH his spends for the week and had a beer. No exercise either. Ah well tomorrow is another day.

6. Unwrap and use the gift of a slow cooker I had ages ago and return to good old fashioned home cooking

Ooh, good on you with this one Sam - unwrapped and used mine for the first time last weekend. It was my xmas present from last year I would highly recommend making jam in it - there are loads of free brambles outside at the moment...very :money:

Went to the gym tonight after work, so made progress on that front. I'm a bit annoyed though, I realised today that the £20 a week am budgeting for petrol just isn't going to be enough. :mad:

Am going to spend a bit of time tomorrow studying my SOA to see if I can make the savings elsewhere. Really don't want to fail on my £700/month payment plan for the next 12 weeks.

Sally - weekly email? Eek! :j
