  • Hello everyone,

    Thanks very much fishface69 for starting the thread!

    I am so crazy busy at the moment working 26 1/2 days on the trot between full time job and second weekend job - so am really trying - but don't expect too much!

    Here were my goals from LAST week:-

    *5 no spend days - Managed two :mad:
    *Impress today at my part time job trial and try and sort out hours/days for rest of summer - Yes, more hours than I know what to do with!
    *Start a new eBay order - No, been so busy!
    *Give Blood (national shortage - can you give too? Its free and you get tea and yummy biccies!) - Well, I tried! I went along but I wasn't allowed to give for medical reason.

    These weren't in my original goals, but I also sorted out the cat being neutered (another cat being done this week and costs for both being covered by CPL) and I sorted out switch to Smile bank with main employer and sent off form to sort out d/d switching.

    Am also on course to pay off £295 from my debts in June (not including bank charge refund, if all goes well) so well on course. Being this tired, had better be worth something!

    Here are my goals for THIS week:-

    *4 no spend days
    *Phone to find out if RBS have entered a defense on Tuesday (for bank charges claim). If not, I've won! Woo-hoo!
    *We have £5 to spend on food - be creative with storecupboard challenge!
    *Do diaries with OH - a lot going on over next few weeks
    *Work really hard at full time job - its a crazy week - just come back from Aberdeen and going to Inverness and Glasgow and a conference in Edinburgh - but lots of 'desk work' to do too

    Good luck everyone!

  • I've been absolutely useless this month with one thing and another, so this week I am planning to:

    1) Have at least 3 no spend days
    2) Get some exercise in - the pounds are piling on! :mad:
    3) Not buy ANY food at all - I food shop when bored or stressed and have spent a fortune this month
    4) Get some car cleaning and window cleaning done - does this count as exercise? lol
    Its nice to be important but more important to be nice!

    My last goals were to sell a big item on ebay and I got £73 for that so was really pleased. I also wanted to sort the house. So far the bedroom, living room and kitchen are totally spotless. Didn't do anything on the website though. So this week;

    1) Do 5 minutes work on the website (then it will hopefully be more!)
    2) Completely gut the children's bedrooms and sort everything out so they don't have as much junk.
    3) Three no spend days.
    4) Swim twice.

    Wish me luck!

    Hey everyone, another week is upon us!!

    Last week’s goals:

    1. Get up to £200 in my AQA account. – Not quite done, I’ve got over £100 – I have really got to push myself with this one.

    2. Get at least 2 more mystery shopping jobs. – Done.

    3. Get another £100 towards my next target debt. – Done, all my Ebay stuff went for over £100.

    4. List trampoline in local free-ads paper. – Done. I have listed it and it should be in there this Monday.

    5. Sign up with 2 more mystery shopping companies. – Done, have not been accepted yet though.

    6. Find a cheap but nice birthday present for my brother-in-law. – He wants a bike which my sister is buying him so I’m just going to put a bit of money towards that.

    7. Declutter room. – Not managed, I haven't got time to sneeze at the moment though so I will try and do this next week.

    8. If my sister is pregnant then start putting aside some money each week for the baby. – I will not find this out until next week now as my sister doesn’t want to do a test until then.

    9. Sort out what debts I aim to pay off in which month - got a bit off track with this. – Done, my debt targets now run into 2007 though. I hope to have everything cleared by the time I am 26 though.

    10. Aim to list at least 5 items on Ebay. – Done, actually listed 10 items.

    Goals for this week:

    1. Get up to £500 in my AQA account.

    2. Get at least 2 more mystery shopping jobs

    3. Pay off Alliance & Leicester loan.

    4. Sign up with 2 more mystery shopping companies

    5. Aim to list at least 5 items on Ebay.

    6. Declutter room.

    7. Switch mobile contract to O2 to save money.

    8. If my sister is pregnant then start putting aside some money each week for the baby.

    9. Get motivated towards clearing my next target debt.

    10. Work out a way to start entering competitions again as well as mystery shopping, working full-time and AQA.

    Good luck with all of your goals for this week.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I haven't had any goals for ages and I don't really feel with it enough to have DFW related goals this week so I have some me related goals:

    1) Get through Tuesday and Wednesday at work without totally losing the plot.
    2) Take Thursday and Friday off as recompense for all the long hours and weekend working I've been doing recently.
    3) Apply for at least two jobs and update my CV.
    4) Swim on my two days off.
    5) Possibly get my hair cut as it almost reaches my waist now and at 29 I'm not sure I should have hair so long it reaches to my waist. :confused:

    So, not very MSE but worthy goals (I think) none the less.
