_party_Happy New Year everyone _party_

Just having a quiet day at my mum's today. I haven't been slacking though. Have already begun work on 63336 (AQA). I've done 22 questions and am hoping to get 100 done before the day is finished.

Going to pop home quickly in a minute to see if I have any post from yesterday and put a wash on that I can hang out to dry tomorrow.

I thought I would set some goals for 2010. I am in the Olympic challenge but obviously that doesn't finish for a couple of years. So my goals are:

1. Get my weight up to 8 stone by 31st December 2010. I currently weigh 7st 9lbs so this might not seem like a big deal, but I find it really hard to put weight on and keep it on, mainly due to my illness and the fact that my family are all very slim.
2. Half my debt. I currently owe £33,251 so would need to get that down to £16,625.50.
3. Keep my flat clean and clutter free throughout the year.
4. Save up my Boots, Tesco and Nectar points throughout the year so I won't have to spend any money on Christmas presents. Also save up Amazon and any other vouchers.

Have a good day.

Hi Emily

I've been reading your new diary and just wanted to say that it's great you're sounding so positive. Your new flat sounds lovely, it's a fabulous start to a fabulous year :beer:

Hi everyone

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I spent the day with my OH and packing up stuff. Not much more to do now. We cleaned the garden and shed out this morning which was my most dreaded job! I am so looking forward to not having a garden to worry about.

I sold an old hoover of my mum's for £20 and she let me buy a new duvet cover with it. A lovely pink embroided one in the sale. Very me!! Will look lovely in the flat.

OH and I went to the cinema last night (his treat). Saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie because I have a strange thing for Robert Downey Jr (my sister thinks it's strange anyway!!). It was quite good, very clever. I love going to the cinema. Must get my disabled cinema card renewed so we can get 1 ticket free when we go.

So, I am going to do a list of tasks for up until I move now:

1. Pack away clothes
2. Take bed apart
3. Clear out kitchen cupboards
4. Clear out bathroom
5. Clean bathroom
6. Clean bedroom
7. Hoover bedroom
8. Take nets down in bedroom
9. Replace toilet seat (they are not having my silver sparkling toilet seat!!)
10. Call utilities companies to tell them I am leaving the property
11. Call BT about phoneline
12. Return heater to my BIL
13. Organise boxes better
14. Clean kitchen
15. Hoover downstairs

I think that is it. If there is more that I think of when I get home, I will add to it. I'm going to try and do 5 jobs a day from tomorrow. Going to have a relaxing night tonight.

My mum has just ordered me a couple of bean bags from Tesco to tide me over until my sofa gets delivered. Bless her :A.

Off home to the cold house now.

Good luck in your new home Emily, hope everything goes well for you this year.

I just wanted to say - My son has a CEA card - we lost it, but told the cinema we had one and they still gave us a carers ticket, just signed the form as normal - HTH
