Miggy - Thank you for your kind offer, I have peanut M&M's and Lindor white chocolate truffles, which I am struggling through valiantly (sp?) with

Missus Knitty, how am I doing so far...............

[STRIKE]1. Visit Mr T and stick to list [/STRIKE]- Done. A grand total of £19.94 which included buy 1 get 2 free selection box (thanks Freez)
[STRIKE]2. Take ebay parcels to post office [/STRIKE]- Done. £4.24 on postage but all up to date for the moment.
3. List 10 things on ebay - 4 things listed so far
4. Tidy wardrobes and sort into work/weekend/going out wear and out of whats left decide what can go in charity bag or on ebay.
5. Washing - wash/dry/iron - get it outside on the line. - Laundry sorted, one load on line and the next in machine.
6. Finish and submit OU essay which is half written but have run out of inspiration.
7. Housework - I'm a bit OCDish so the house is clean and tidy but need to hoover right through and scrub kitchen floor.
8. Paint bathroom ceiling :eek: OMG I DO NOT want to do this one.
9. Sort through stuff I have bought for Christmas and organise into piles for who it's for etc. Decide what else I have to buy and scour internet for deals (ebay )
10. Eat chocolate............thought I might put something in that was achievable - ongoing

Oooohh lists - I love lists! Love crossing things off (though the list never seems to get any shorter - how does that happen?!). Have discovered a fab little app (can get for free on Chrome browser) called Do it Tomorrow. Gives you a "handwritten" list that you can add things to, cross things off and - here's the fun bit - send on to tomorrow if you decide not to bother today!

mizmir - a person after my own heart, I'm off to check on Do It Tomorrow.........or would that be procrastinating :think:

[/STRIKE] I now have a "what I wear wardrobe" and a "get it gone" wardrobe. The latter outweighing the former

Wow nice job on your list, you've been so productive! Makes my weekend look positively slovenly

Keep on at that chocolate, it won't eat itself you know :P

Freeby I just wanted to say how inspiring you are! I'm pretty new to these boards and I've been reading through the diaries with great interest, but yours really stands out to me. You really have made me feel like anything is possible! Thank you. :beer:

Hello everyone, so far I've had a very lazy Sunday morning updating my spreadsheets until the end of July next year. If they would stay within my predictions I will be a very happy bunny but I am realistic enough to know that a pesky thing called 'life' will get in the way . No matter...by July next year I will be in a much healthier position moneywise than I was in July this year regardless, so I am counting my blessings (as well as my pennies)

Now for my list...............

So far this weekend I have accomplished

Who knew that Mr T had a pricechecker thingy like Mr A has??????


Not me!!!!!


https://www.tescopricecheck.com/PriceCheck/Pages/Default.aspx

(I hope the link works)


I have just input my receipts for the last month. They don't tell you right away but get back to you within 36 hours. My shopping probably won't be any cheaper and I won't get anything back but anything and everything is worth trying for.
At least now I won't have to sit for hours comparing prices on-line

Ooo, not me - thanks for posting *scurries off to rescue Mr T receipts from the shredding pile*

Little Nora (inner sloth, big spender, and owner of the dredded clicky finger) is quivering in the shadow of your achievementy (is too a word) greatness - keep up the good work! And well done on your commitment to number 10. Inspired, I'm having chocolate for breakfast this morning *offers a galaxy counter*.
