Well this was last week.

1) only go to sainsurys twice this week after work to get reduced to clear items -:j managed it went in once onfriday and bought nothing but did go in today and spend £2.72
2) Plan my menus for at least this week -:o never happened but about to plan for next week. That is what happens when you have a husband on nights
3) Stash some left over cash from last months wages in my ISA -Not done yet but the money is waiting to be moved. Will have to wait until friday as I have day off
4) Once I have been paid move £100 in total over to my various non urgent savings - Not done yet but will do in the day next few days
5) stay off the Jaffa cakes - well I stayed off the jaffa cakes but ate loads of other rubbish :rotfl:
6) try and loose weight while getting husband to gain -failed husband lost a couple of llbs and I gained a couple. But serves me right for what I have been eating

This week my goals are:

1) only go to sainsurys twice this week after work to get reduced to clear items

2) Plan my menus for at least this week - going to do that in a min when I have finish posting this message

3)stay off the Jaffa cakes

4)try and loose weight while getting husband to gain

5) Take my lunch break and go for a walk to try and loose some this blasted weight

6) Try and have a personal non-spend for at 3 days. As food comes from the household accounts so don't really count that as spending if you know what I mean

7)Drink loads of water as it good for skin etc

That is me I think.


Yours

These were mine:

1. Try to generate a bit more money via QuidCo even if it is just searches etc. Yes, did a bit but not that much.
2. Try & get some decent exercise. Did plenty of walking this week! Pleased with myself.
3. Contact Marbles to make sure they have actually cancelled an account I wrote to them about quite a few months ago...I never got a letter back confirming this. Yes! And they did close the account.
4. Stick to shopping list on Wednesday when I get fresh veggies at Tesco. Yep! Potatoes only. In and out of the supermarket like an assasin.....err, I mean I stuck to the task in hand, I didn't actually assisinate anyone.....err moving on...
5. Find something to list on Amazon or EBAY. No, failed, Didn't even look this week.


This weeks goals are:

1. Definitely spend only what I need to in the supermarket as I am going to go overdrawn this month and I need to limit it as much as possible.
2. Buy a weekly bus ticket instead of getting daily returns to save £2.
3. continue with good amounts of exercise.

Nothing else really...just got to limit spending this week big style.

Good luck peeps.
