    Last weeks were:

    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 (DID THIS, IT'S UP TO £50!!!)
    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) (STILL NOT DONE! Grrrrrrr)
    3) Spend no more then £10 on groceries as have plenty in! (NOT DONE ANOTHER BIG SHOP BUT NO FOOD IN NOW)
    4) Swim three times this week (YIP!)

    Goals this week:
    1) Realistically do some work on website and aim to have it online by end of the month
    2) Swim twice
    3) Re-join costco and do two days big cook to last the month
    4) Keep the spending diary going - everything we've bought we've had to e.g. animal food, medicine, new shoes as holes inine but it's scary how quickly it goes!
    5) Clean, tidy, clean and tidy some more!

    Oops sorry if this is on the wrong post!
    January budget
    Nothing left!

    I'm all confused, surely we need a new thread for this weeks.
    Since it's week commencing 4th june? not 28th may?

    I feel all at a loss now!

    ;)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......Well managed 3 if you count today (which I am:rolleyes: )
    2. Revise for exam in 10 days (well, actually, read stuff for 1st time:eek: ). Well, can say yes, as I didn't quantify how much. But haven't done enough... should be doing now.......

    3. Convince Egg to extend our mortgage (they are phoning me tomorrow).Yes!!!!!! I won I won I won!!!! Will make life easier to organise. V pleased!!!

    4. Go on exercise bike at least 5 times. Em,,,,,that would be the dusty thing in the corner.....

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

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

    4 1/2 out of six which is not very good as they were pretty pathetic compared to everyone else's. Will think about this week's, but they will include 2, 4 and going on wagon for next 2 weeks:eek: needs to be done.....
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
