Hello everyone

[mega mega sheepish]

Thanks to mizmir for giving me a PM, I guess I was hoping that my promises had gone unnoticed but I am so overawed and proud of you guys for forging ahead with this

Confession time, it's mid-january, I haven't been keeping up with my spending diary and i am wondering where all my money has gone. You guys are an inspiration though!

Ok, [chanting, you are not behind under my breath], thanks to Mizmir's wake up call I have spent the morning going through the flyladies 31 day babysteps programme and jotting down dfw ideas that should get us all into better habits! I know that most of you are into week two already and moving on to looking at your debts but I'm going to post the steps for week one (i.e. days 1-7) first up, just in case anyone has lagged behind. I'll start this in a separate thread, so that people can log on as and when they find it and start the programme. We can keep this one for chat.

I am by no means and expert in this and am as desperate to get myself into good MSE habits as the rest of you, so any suggestions for activities that we can start to build into our lives would be great. I'm not sure how much the ideas I have got will contradict what you guys are already doing. Tell you what I'll just get on and post the blessed first 7 days and you can make suggestions and I can always go back and re-edit.

xxxxxxxx

I'm afraid that, since some of you have been doing this since 1st Jan, the first week might seem a bit dull to you, but please stick with it, there's plenty to come in the second week, where I think we will start to organise our debts and look at habits to reduce spending.

I'd love to hear your comments and how you are getting on. tomorrow is going to be my day 1, wish me luck

Mrs_A.

good luck everyone
let the fun begin

Brilliant! SOOOO pleased to have you back Tondella - hope you don't feel harangued! :D

I'm going to start again at Day 1 and check that I am doing all this - it is easy to slip back!

welcome welcome! let me know what you think of the challenges. I've tried to pick out the things that I thought most experienced DFW and old stylers recommend doing, but let me know if you have any suggestions!

Not harangued at all, just grateful for the kick up the **** and still wondering where all my money goes! Hopefully this time nxt month I'll know! Great news that you are starting again, more support for me as I try it!

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Tondella for the new thread. It's looking really good. And just the right sort of things to give me a bit of a push to carry on. Thanks.
