2. Do a proper big budget again, need to re-evaluate EVERYTHING!
3. No takeaways
4. Go to gym at least 2 times!
5. Stick to diet
6. send old mobile off to mobile2cash

i think thats enough to be getting on with! good luck everyone!

goals for last week were:

Organise day out using tesco vouchers - yup. We're off to The Deep in Hull this week.

4 alchohol free days - managed 3 (pleased by this as last week has been stressful)

Continue decorating staircase - oops, abrupt halt

No further cash withdrawals - managed this one but have used cc due to disastrous week with computer and internet.


I make that 1.5 out of 4 - must do better!


goals for this week;

1. Only use internet after 6pm due to being temporarily on payg dial up (failed that one already :rotfl: ) but once I've caught up after being offline for 5 days, i'll try to keep to it.

2. Take pack up for day out so as not to spend in cafe/shops.

3. Try and get back on track after rubbishy week, where all my best efforts at money saving have turned to s**t.

4. Be kinder to self - not really money saving - but am beating myself up big style over no 3 above

Good Luck everyone

Right, let me see how I have done:
1. Pay day this week, sort out budget plan yep, easy this one, sticking to it is the problem
2. Do food shop to last month. Spend no more than £40 so that I have £8 per week to buy fresh fruit and veg.kind of done, bought all cleaning stuff and toiletries and did semi big shop (forgot list so bought what I could remember) and spent £30, will have £10 per week instead
3. Go running at least twice.no, too hot, went for walks instead
4. Tidy and thoroughly clean flat.yep done, am doing carboot in a couple of weeks
5. Bring lunch to work 4/5 daysnope, managed 3
6. Have my first ever no spend weekend (going to be a tough one).nope, spent £10 on day out with friends

Well it wasn't actually that bad! These are my goals for this week:
1. Stick to budget, have £10 in my purse and I am not going to draw anymore money out until Friday (only planned outting is to the cinema, reduced rate of £4).
2. Go running twice.
3. Bring lunch 4/5 days (having free work lunch on the other day).
4. Sort out claiming tax back from last year's pension AVCs.

Ooh I want to do this. My goals will be:

1) Make hubbie packed lunch everyday so he doesn't have an excuse to sneak off to the canteen.

2) Sort, photograph, weigh etc box full of ebay stuff ready for the next 5p listing day.

3) Make some HM meals for little sis who's moving out of parents and into her first flat at the weekend.

4) Amuse kids with baking, painting, treasure hunt etc as really cannot afford to take them out (as if there's anyway to take them round here anyway! :rolleyes: )

5) Pay inland revenue £100 to hopefully keep them quiet for another month.

6) Don't forget to water corn plants as the sunflowers have died and now resemble 3 ft high brown sticks!

Hope this is the right sort of things, never done this before!
