    My goals for 2012:

    1. Pay off remaining debt £1330.10 Now £504
    2. Get fit and thin - 30 day shred, cycling challenge, 6 week six pack, P90x yoga, running, aikido, taebo Nope. May be joining a gym with my OH so that could be a good start
    3. Stick to household budgets. £25 pw food, £25 pw petrol £1300/£1300 need to update
    4. Stick to budget - savings goals £2539.90 started - in sig
    5. Build up 'surplus' household savings £120.00 already exceeded so looking good to balance over the year
    6. Help pay off 'joint' debt £1500 not started. Hope to start next month
    7. Give up smoking - must do this ( otherwise can't afford the gym)

    8. Sealed pots '3' - will look into joining the sealed pots thread.

    Saving this part of my signature here to be a reminder of the 'pay as much as you can' challenge:

    - 2011 total: £4701.46/£5701.46 = £1000.00
    - 2012 total: 34. 166million -£1065/£1154 = £89

    As of tomorrow I will have paid £5855.46 in total - that's nearly £400 a month!

  • Well done on becoming debt free! And it seems to me that since you've dealt with the debts, you're now more focused and dealing with the other goals. Well done you!
