'The Paper Hatters - our aims for 2010'

Well done saving! That's really good. Remember not to over do it though!

I've been up to North Wales to meet bf's mum and collect bf's other furniture. We now have pretty much everything important. We do need another wardrobe but that has to wait a bit, maybe next month if lucky. Now we just have to find a place for everything and make it all look nice. There's still stuf absolutely everywhere and boxes, but I think we'll get it sorted this week, then we can have a breather.

Get you wee gym bunny....

I've got £200 of my target £300....
We had a big back payment from CTC and WTC, so I've put it somewhere safe but not somewhere I see everyday, and am putting it to the back of my mind LOL

hi

Couldn't go to the gym today as OH has gone out and couldn't face taking DD swimming!! Hopefully will get to go tomorrow

Work was okay... Have you been reading memory girl's diary? Very inspiring if you need to make your money stretch...

Hi saving. I've been lurking there for a while now. I don't know how she does it!

I've been wearing my pedometer and trying to walk a little further each day. I've also been using the wii fit. I should have weighed this morning but I was in work so didn't get chance to. It will have to be Wednesday now as I'm in work tonight as well and don't finish til tomorrow afternoon so won't have chance then either. Hopefully I've lost another pound. Fingers crossed

Hi all.
Hmmm, I'll have to check on memory girl's diary, sounds interesting...

Update from me:

1. Pay off student loan £2560
Should be only £1060 to go and this will be paid in early December.
2. Find a nice flat/house and move in with BF
Done as we know. It's going really well and loving our own space.
3. Pay off HSBC CC, think seriously about cancelling it and look at other cc's you might want to/need to cancel as well.
Will struggle with this, but should be doable before 18th of Dec.
4. Get the flat in order with furniture etc and make it lovely and your own.
Getting there. Getting another sofa sometime this week and putting the spare bed frame up today. Last night tidied the kitchen and put most of clothes in the wardrobes. Spare room is still full of boxes but tackling some of it today. Might have a half day off if I can. Bf is having a day off waiting for virgin guy to come and install internet.

Sounds like things are coming together!

I am sat here eating porridge but really ought to quickly scoot off to work! I am planning to pay my next big payment to my card on the 14th..... keep wanting to post it as done but I am making myself wait until the actual day to include it in my sig!

I was like that with my last student loan payment, but had to wait till the money was in my finnish account and finally paid off before updating sig. Under 7k now!

Oh dear, must try a lot harder. Actually I did do a bit of mental prep for Xmas, I spotted loads of cool things in the v&a museum shop for my niece.
