Going to give this a go. Now I am back from my holiday I can hopefully focus on my financial goals. So here goes:

1) Take packed lunch every day (was very naughty last week)
2) Only have £5 in my purse and get paid on Thursday, so £5 will have to last till Thursday
3) Send off claim for Bank Charges / Interest to HSBC
4) Look for more things to sell on ebay
5) Start the 5000 word essay which is due in on 5th Sept (and write at least 1000 words)
6) Get back onto the diet plan, I had lost 11lb but after holiday that is now only 7lb
7) Exercise every day (either a walk or toning exercises)

Well it seems I set goals on the 31st and haven't been back since!

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! )

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!

I did do all that however, will put my thinking cap on for some things for this week.

Hi all,

I have been a bit slack in setting myself goals but I have been pretty good (honest!). So, for this week:
1. Have 3 no spend days (Tue, Wed, Sat)
2. Exercise (jog) at least 3 times this week (Mon, Wed, Fri &/ Sat?)
3. Organise budget for next month (pay day Friday)
4. Bring lunch to work 3 days out of 5 (buy today, work lunch Tue)
5. Stick to £30 budget for dinner and drinks on Thur with pal (my turn to pay)
6. Declutter, tidy and clean 1 room per evening this week. Mon: kitchen, Tue: bathroom, Wed: Bedroom, Fri: Living room.

Will be v impressed with myself if I can stick to it!
