*Put some items for sale on Ebay Will try again this week!
*Tidy up my pile of bills and sort out paperwork Did this and felt quite good afterwards!

So this week:

LookingAhead

Last week's goals were:

1. Spend only what I need to at supermarket. Did even better - boyfriend bought them all last week as he had some spare cash, hooray!
2. Buy weekly bus ticket. Done
3. Continue with good amounts of exercise. Ummm, not done. Did some walking but not enough and was poorly over the weekend so didn't really get out of the house at all. Off sick today as well so no long walk at lunchtime either.


This weeks goals are:

1. Try to get some lifts home to save on bus fare when I return to work as I am so so so so so skint at the moment and literally every penny will count.
2. Find a picture or something of a house as I want to make my friend a "Welcome to Your New Home" card.
3. Bank the shrapnel I have in my shrapnel tin to help bring my overdraft down a bit.
4. Find something to list on EBAY. I sold something this week for the first time in ages and still three days to go on the auction so hoping the price will go up a tad more. It has whetted my appetite for EBAY again.
5. Find a nice freebie somewhere to cheer myself up!

EDIT: Wanted to add a number 6!

6. Write another review for Ciao

plans for this week (14 - 21 August)
1) finish decorating house DFW-stylee so it can get sold (managed to buy expensive curtains and mirror for £3 from car boot at weekend). Spent £8 on paint as OH managed to take back paint we never used and exchanged it for magnolia and white....
2) list as much junk as possible on eBay
3) got to car boot with scottish spendaholic on Saturday. Made £60 profit last week so aim for £50 profit this week.
4) bring pack lunches 4 days (forgot to make sandwich this AM but brought everything else)
5) Gym 3 times
6) pay off capital one and legal and trade when I get paid on Friday! woo hoo!
7) arrange mortgage for new flat with OH....could be scary and hope we get one....
8) re-start £2 savings jar and cookie jar with loose change. continue moving odds and sods from bank account to ISA. £30.50 so far.
9) continue with bank and credit agreement charges refunds....getting there but its a sssssllllloooooowwwww process!
10) keep checking MSE for freebies and DFW for inspiration!

cheers everyone and hope you all have a good week! I xxx
