Evening one and all and Happy New Year
I had a fab night last night, was a little party with close friends and families including the kiddies, can't think of a better way to bring the new year in. Downside was I got to bed at 5am :eek: I am definately getting too old for that lol.
So today has been a bit of a wasted lazy day but I am just getting my stuff sorted for my nice new shiney "me" plan for 2010.
I have just set up my PC upstairs as it has all my Ebay accounts, stock lists etc saved. I hadn't even plugged it in since I moved in here. So just sorting that now and will be off and running to get back listing some bits tomorrow
I have bought myself a nice A4 diary from the pound shopin which I am going to list everything I want to do each day and the idea is that I can not turn the computer on until the list is completed. I have got into an awful habit of spending my whole evening on MSN or Facebook
which doesn't make for a productive doodle.
Have a lovely list of money making ideas to trawl through, a list of jobs that need doing round the house and other things which need doing that I haven't got round too. It's weird but I always feel better when I have a list and I can cross things off lol.
Being organised used to be my thing but since splitting up I have let it slip big time including me forgetting peoples birthdays
Thinking back to when we were really in debt I was working full time, running the house, my daughter, a husband and a thriving ebay business. Now I don't seem to be doing any of that lol.Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

Good luck with this... I have tried it a million times and never ever manage to do it. I've even deleted my facebook account but that just seems to leave me more time on here :rolleyes:

Hi doodledo
I am doing well. Had a really nice relaxing break and managed to do some decluttering to start the year off well!
Hopefully have had a mini lbm that my fritter / bargain spend is disruptive to our lives in creating too much clutter - and needs to stop for that reason rather than just finances.... Lets see if I can maintain that realisation!
Hope your little one is ok and your pup - how old is it now?
Anyway off to bed - so I will catch up more tomorrow!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
