I rationalized that my new shoes shouldn't be punished just because I can't budget

Time for a post birthyday kick up the proverbial!!! 2 months of the year left and not a lot ticked off this year's goals . I need to stop living on the cusp of chaos I had friends staying on Friday and was hoovering at 6.00am as I am so dis-organised!

Debts - time for a refocus. I am paying all my monthly payments and the 'main' debt in my signature is steadily coming down. However, in the last few months I have allowed other debt to build up on my day-to-day credit card, and not quite clearing it every month So, it's time to nip that in the bud and live within my monthly budget, which I know is a workable budget. Realisitic target is to do that for the remainder of the year and then start paying if off when things are quieter in the New Year. I will maintain my mantra of 'having a life'. I personally don't want to make my life all about debtbusting, doesn't work for me! I need to watch things like poor food planning, little treats etc! Also need to concentrate on doing surveys, collecting points etc

Weight - this one is still here :mad: I admit it bothers me, I admit how I look is important to me and I'm fed up with only wearing a small part of my wardrobe so I just need to get on with dieting and exercising, and stop making excuses! A stone off by the end of the year is the target

The sub group of this one is looks generally. Again, I need to discipline myself to be groomed and party ready instead of my usual, all or nothing, pre-event panics!

Life - I need to be tidier and more organised, at home and at work. I like my job but need to decide whether it is time to move on, or can I change within my current organisation? Not ready to make a move yet but am aware I need to give it some thought

I also need to discipline myself to keep on top of household stuff so weekends don't become too chore filled. And a big declutter programme needs to be started, I plan to stay in my apartment regardless of the job situation and have a few projects in mind for next year so a declutter is required first


For the last 2 months of 2011 I plan to do something to improve in each of these areas every day - I am relying on all my lovely DFW friends for the usual support, kindness and the odd kick when I need it :A

oooh I love a good birthday-induced re-focus :j

A belated happy birthday - I did see it was coming up but forgot to post, sorry! Sounds like a fab time was had by all - and hurrah for being spoiled

I'm with you on the job - not quite sure what to do yet, but definitely on an information-gathering/thinking mission.

Good luck and hope you have a fabulous year!

Today I have;

Debts - done a sensible, basic shop including coffee for work. Returned a bag and shoes to Next that weren't quite right

Weight/looks - final birthday meal so eating hasn't been brilliant but had no extra snacks. Done a facepack and deep conditioned my hair

Life - flat is clean and tidy, and 2 loads of washing have been done
