5. Sort 2 binbags of clothes donated by Mum, photograph for ebay or freecycle-no

4. Clear out cupboard under the sink and dispose of useless cleaning items held therein (go Stardrops!)
5. Earn £10
6. Spend only what is necessary (I've had a very expensive 2 weeks )
7. Go to tip and dispose of lawnmover and chest of drawers..if it stops raining
also carry forward Items 1 & 2 from last week

That's enough for me this week

Right this is my first time doing this but here goes;
1) place first ever big listing on ebay....i'm excited and terrified about this! lol, done lots of little things but have a dana thing (can you tell i'm technical) that seems to be selling well on ebay.
2) make website live tonight (very small business where i usually only sell the products at school fairs etc...hubby has started to design website so won't cost me much)
3) Spend no more then £10 on groceries as have plenty in!
4) Swim three times this week.
Wish me luck and good luck to everyone else xx

Righto: last week my goals were:

Watch more dvds, then cancel blockbuster trial before friday and put discs in the post. Ummm, yeah. except trial ended on thursday, not friday so didn't cancel in time :doh: Have been charged fee for one month but they promise to return 'unused portion' of the monthly fee and I only 'used' one day :rotfl: so hopefully I'll get most of it back :rolleyes:

Spend hardly anything (preferably nothing) on groceries, might need a little milk but nothing else. Umm, well, no! Have been so busy that I found no time to make all the meals I'd planned and so went shopping for more 'quick and easy' food, have been getting home about 8.30pm each night lately :eek: But its not for much longer then I can return to old ways :j

Bank more of £2 coin collection and transfer to savings account No time

Only allow myself 1 chocolate bar all week No, not good on this one either. Damn university canteen, shouldn't tempt me with green and blacks :rotfl:

Oh dear, that was shocking!!! Going to make them a bit more achieveable this week (another busy one):

Bank £2 coins and transfer to savings account.

Restrict self to 2 (small) chocolate bars!

Post free trial dvds back NOW!!!!

Spend minimum on groceries, have lots of food in!

That'll do I think

Good luck everyone

So the plan this week
1.Pay £20 off Abbey CC Managed £45
2.Set up standing order to new CC (in bank on wednesday) Not done
3.Send letter to Abbey asking (again) for cancellation of PPI on loan and CC waiting to be posted
4.Laundry done
5.Tidy house especially crap from living room done
6.Buy expanding file (as cheap as poss) for financial docs not done, cant afford it just yet
7.Lunch to work each day (Especially as have now got some BOGOF cans so spending should be controllable again) done and done but did end up buying a few top ups!
Also where possible dont take purse to work!Managed one day


Right now its time to get tyrannical on my own a**!
1.3 no spend days
2.Anything I buy on friday during work visit, get receipt for to claim back
3.Dont go mental on payday (friday)
4.Bare minimum spend this week £20!
5.Tidy up bedroom, look like a student doss-hole as opposed to my actual home!!!
6.Keep on lookout for new job, send c.v to position in paper.

God only knows if I'll manage it this time round!

LookingAhead

I haven't posted any goals for ages.

The burglary knocked me right off kilter and I am only just starting to get back on track mentally with spending...I have still tried to be good but I have been so busy handing out cash for things (excess, fence & gate being put in, alarm & being fitted etc) that I've just totally lost all my financial navigation skills! Spending diary went out the window.

So my goals this week are simply:

Get firmly back ON TRACK by beginning to keep spend diary again and posting on the daily spend thread again.
Have at least two no spend days.
Do some work/planning on finances using my spreadsheet.

Good luck everyone.

Didn't post last week as I was away in Ireland at the start and then on a spa break with DD at the weekend:D . Luckily the first was budgeted for and the second was an all expenses paid Christmas gift .

Next week I aim to,

Keeep away from Chocolate - have only had one small bar of galaxy since Easter.

Not buy any unnecessary groceries (still got a freezer full of meat).

Start a spending diary so I can really see where our money goes.
