    Update from me:

    [STRIKE]
    1. Pay off student loan £1060
    2. Find a nice flat/house and move in with BF
    [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]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.[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    4. Get the flat in order with furniture etc and make it lovely and your own.
    [/STRIKE]

    Well, I have the money to pay off my hsbc cc and was just going to do it, but before that transferred money to bf's a/c for rent and bills, and by mistake did it twice,so now have no money to pay off cc until I get the money back from bf. However, as I 'have' the money, and I'm going to pay the cc when I get it back, I will declare my 2010 aims achieved!

    I have had debt clearing as my 'must do' for so long I don't know what to do without it - lol

    If only I wasn't slim, healthy and wealthy I would have something to do.... Oh, !!!!!!, I seem to be none of those things, oh well, here goes:

    1) lose 1st (ever the optimist it is back on the list for the billionth year running)
    2) put £3500 into a 2010/11 ISA and the full whack into a 2011/12 one
    3) walk from the station to work or work to the station at least six times a week (only half an hour in each direction but better than getting the bus)
    4) take lunch to work at least 15 times a month (January not looking good so far LOL)

    ETA 5) stop buying bloody handbags. I do NOT need any more (possibly ever, I have rather a lot)

    Good morning ladies!

    Just a though, should we start another thread for 2011?

    My main aim is to clear all debt this year, easier said than done though as will also have to move again, which will mean finding another job and paying off my bicycle (which was bought through cycle-to-work scheme but the rest must be paid in full from last pay). So at the moment I have to save all my 'extra' money and only pay minimum on cards to see me through this change period.

    Little aims along the way,
    • loose the weight I put on during December's no excersice regime/Xmas
    • get bit fitter than I was last year
    • find a job then start thinking about a career
    • move
    • enjoy life
    • start drawing/designing once again
    • hopefully buy a sewing machine (might not happen)
    That'll do for now.
