    Well I almost completely failed at last weeks goals so am setting some gentle ones for this week:

    1) Apply for new advantage card and tesco clubcard (have been really slack with these as lost the advantage card ages ago and didn't update the tesco card when we moved 20 months ago - hence missing lots of points!)
    2) Sort out some items for a car boot
    3) Spend less time on the PC!
