Hey everyone!

Here are my goals from LAST week:-

* Five no spend days - I've spent up for the month so I have to be very good now!
I had two no spend days
* Work hard at work and prepare well for annual appraisal on Thursday
Yes, job focus has changed - but think this is a good thing - will wait and see. Excellent feedback from appraisal
* Do lots of glass painting for lots of customers (including beanielou :hello:)
Yes, still a wee bit to do, but getting there!

This wasn't a goal, but I have also sold 4 books on amazon - I put on 20 on Wednesday afternoon - so not bad going so far - £38 ish coming my way!

Here are my goals for THIS week:-

* 3 no spend days
* Weeding and tidying up in the garden
* Go to slimming class (go fishface!)
* Go for a walk on beach
* Pray to sell more on amazon
* Send email to my lonely friend in Oz
* Clean house thorougly (sp?) on Saturday in preparation for PIL visit on Sunday

Good luck everyone!

Can I join, please?
Haven't posted here before but really need to focus right now (out of work but still spending........)

For this week;

remember to take son for HE free haircut (am paranoid about missing this as there's a £30 fine if you don't turn up and memory is non-existent at times)

make preparations to paint staircase (everything is already bought just sitting taking up space in the hall)

Do NOT buy beer to sit drinking in garden in sunshine (in manner of person on holiday rather than unemployed DFW)

Keep away from shops - send DS or DD if we run out of milk or bread.

Good Luck everyone!
