    1.sending in the ombusdman form.
    2.ebay links of london and radley(toots)
    3.sell all the junk from under the stairs lol
    4.continue to lose weight or maintain under 16 i was hitting 17 in january so if i can lose a stone a year i will be skinny in 2016 lol
    5.seriously consider next year challenge think i will start with selling one item and trade up if you know what i mean .
    6. get rid of my bos credit card .
    i dont know about you lot but i feel more in control o my finances this year than i have done since i had the kids .i am also going to do a budget and try and live of it for the whole of january .which means using old fashioned cash wonder how i will get on
