    Hi everyone, it's great reading everyone's achievements.

    justamummy - sorry to hear about the redundancy, and good luck with your interview prep.

    My aim is to do one positive thing each day for my finances, my career/work, my family, my OH and my health. So yesterday I managed to:

    - (work) tidy up and clean the attic and set up an 'office' for myself

    - (family) bake healthy muffins

    - (finances) set up an online spending diary so I don't have to carry a notebook and pen around with me

    - (health) do an hours' exercise and finally put batteries in my pedometer, so I can set myself better goals for walking

    - (finances) set up online banking on an account I opened a year ago and had never used

    - (finances) sold 2 old mobile phones

    Phew! That's more than 5, but I wanted to do something for OH as well. Will try again today.

    Godd luck everyone!

    So yesterday was a very full day...I went to Belgium with Dad and saved myself some money:

    1. bought tobacco for myself which would have cost £259 here, but was £88! saved £171.
    2. Dad bought me all my food and drink...lush beef bourginone and chips. Yum.
    3. Did not go the expensive way to my singing group (I was a bit late leaving due to the Eurpoean travelling, but stayed within my travel card limits instead of going into zone 1 to make sure I was on time, which I was sorely tempted to do, in the end I was only 15 mins late).

    So a smiley for me please :)

    Ok now dealwithdebtdot what a way to start your posts! going to Belgium indeed...... :D sounds just lovely - hope you had a great time and well done on your first :)
