:T for epic levels of organisation! So glad I'm not the only one moving onto 2014 :rotfl:a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library0

Not really a bargain but I'd used the exfoliator I ordered before and had been meaning to get some more so took the opportunity - for free delivery as much as anything. Only 4 little tubes of cream.
MM I'm not that organised. Wait till next year when I can't find them :rotfl:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I'm a compulsive list writer and frequently get mick taken. I write every conceivable list except shopping lists.. no idea why I consistently fail to do this. I have moved on.. I now calendar tasks, the repetitive ones pop up on my desk top "don't forget.." I also colour code my calendar depending on task / where I need to be. I have a note book on the go as a bare minimum but this can increase to multiples of lists / tasks. I have to cross off by the end of the day or the sky falls in.Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!
2014 GOAL HIT 5 Stone! 2016 GOAL to be a MF marathon runner.

Mr AJM takes the mick on a regular basis about my list making but when I have to be organised for both of us I have no choice. It is the only way of clearing my head and it feels great crossing things off...even if some things just get transferred to another one!MFW 2025 No. 7 £2731.07/£2700
