Hi everyone! On day one I

- cancelled an insurance policy for card protection (I'd had it 10 years and never used it - not even the times when I'd lost all my cards and cash! - so figured I wouldn't miss it)

- started a pension!

- bought a Christmas present for my nephew

- got about 1 hrs' exercise (fast walking)

Didn't get up to 5 positive things but will do it today! :j

Good luck

Well hello there southern sadie and well done on your first 4 positive steps - just one more to go to get your first wee i look forward to adding it shortly

Me for today as follows:-

1. Went through christmas cupboard and found loads of things I have already bought and forgotton about (an extra 10 presents off list for me without spending any extra cash - result)
2. Whilst going through cupboard found duplicate present bought for son so i found the receipt & is ready to go back to get £7.99 refund
3. Contacted Toys R Us and got them to add on all the points I should have earned on my purchases onto my reward card (as I'd forgotton it each time I went into store) - this should
give me enough of a spend for more money off vouchers just in time for crimbo.
4. Resisted buying pick of the day from create and craft - so proud of myself - the old me would have just reached for the computer and ordered without thinking
5. Stopped hubby buying daughters main present until I had searched to see if I could find discount voucher and get Quidco cashback - result was extra £7 off and quidco tracking at
£9.19 - another result!

Two days in a row I've met my targets - I'm on a roll!!!

Aw thats great going!! very MSE and of course another

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!

Well done on all of those steps southern sadie!!! i like the fact you are doing your steps over such a variety of things and you have your first too
