1) Work out budgets for the New Year....can seriously start snowballing...but as my debt was in such a state, I have no APRs to work out which should go first...so got to work out my plan.
2) Chase up my 1,000 piggy points owed, so that I can order a Boots voucher for mine and Mum's splurge in boots at the sales...(along with my £35 on boots card)
3) Keep on looking for a new job, as I'm really not happy here, and want to get back 'outside' (work from home).
4) List some more stuff on Amazon and Ebay to save up for my pink golf clubs lol.

Good idea this. Not setting myself too much but aim to:
1) Get my desk at work cleared of all pending jobs and files tomorrow (Monday) as I am off for the rest of the week.
2) List at least 5 items on ebay to start with.
3) Sort future items from my old stuff at my dads house.
4) Clean my house fully.
5) Start jogging again.
Not too much but after a few weeks of being down I am starting to be positive again and tackle my debt. This is just the start.Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36
