Goals for week starting 28th May 06

Righto, goals were:

Bank £2 coins and transfer to savings account. nope, again

Restrict self to 2 (small) chocolate bars! Almost, but not quite

Post free trial dvds back NOW!!!! Yep, done :j

Spend minimum on groceries, have lots of food in! Yep, done :j

I don't feel too bad - busy week so not much time for anything but uni stuff. Feel a bit miserable cos all my dfw habits are beginning to slip, and the fat free wannabe ones! It's only been since I got really busy with dissertation, final exhibition etc, so hopefully I can go back to my old ways after graduation (july 14th :eek: ). Trying to keep goals simple and not time consuming so that I don't feel too demoralised :rolleyes:

Right, for the coming week:

Take fruit to uni to avoid munchies which leads to buying chocolate!!

Deposit £2 coins in the bank and transfer to savings account.

Use chill-out time to search quidco for sign up offers etc, every little helps :rolleyes:

Have a good week everyone

Hello everyone - thanks for the invite to your barbeque SS, but I suspect it might be a little far away

I've been having a right old time of being overtired and underpowered so I didn't set goals last week in order to try and focus on just getting back on track. I think I'm getting there and I'm pleased that one nagging thing has been settled now that was feeling like an anchor.

In the positive stakes, we've bought a new fence in the last month but managed a new highest figure in the accounts so we've spent a lot less otherwise.

Gentle goals for this week:
1. 2 no spend days
2. Not to stress about being in charge of opening up/art session/looking after little niece at Mothers&Toddlers
3. To organise with lady in Gloucs about delivering Freecycle things (would be nice to be rid of these within the week)
4. To have a nice chilled time on as little cash as possible in town on Thursday
5. Visit parents cats twice to give them some affection while parents are on holiday
6. Bank £2 coins
7. Rebook blood tests after forgetting to go this week

;)OK ....
1. 3 no spend days. Should be achievable if I overeat at SS's barbecue;). DD & DS returned from uni but did big shop Friday with £6.49 R & R. Also they brought home enough soap powder supplied by me in 1st place to last for months. No, I don't know how they managed to live without washing clothes either......
2. Revise for exam in 10 days (well, actually, read stuff for 1st time:eek: ).

3. Convince Egg to extend our mortgage (they are phoning me tomorrow).

4. Go on exercise bike at least 5 times.

5. Get off here early enough to cook minestrone soup in pressure cooker (is all prepared, just need to heat & cook.)

6. Find corkscrew!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry, luckily bought all screwcap wine on Friday, otherwise would be one less no spend day;)

Ok here goes, I dont think Ive ever managed to stick to my goals but I NEED too.

I need to list at least 5 things on ebay to upload on Thursday for 10 days, I have one 'biggy' already in turbo lister so I only need 4 more - surely I can manage that!!!

I need to stick to my liquid diet hence not spending any money at work.

I need to do at least one lot of batch cooking, i plan to do this tomorrow as hubs is away

At least 2 no spend days.

All MS jobs need to fall within budget as I keep on spending over the budget which isnt cost affective.

Good luck everyone

I've never done this before, so maybe I'll be more focussed this week if I write things down. Here goes:

1. Plan meals for the week;
2. Order Tescos delivery with a code (hopefully);
3. Take my visitors for a cheap day out - site-seeing in the capital!;
4. Make the meals that I've planned (and not give in to take aways!!);
5. Phone Inland Revenue to ask when I'll get my tax credits renewals pack;
6. Finish reading Allan Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking;
7. It's pay day this week, so check the balances on the DMP and update my signature.

We'll let's see how I go!
