The life I want and the person I want to be

Options
Shiny new diary which will encompass different efforts I'm making to create the life I want and become the person I want to be. (I hope this is ok, as only one of those things is become debt free, though it is my first priority!)

Goals:
  1. Become debt-free by June 30th 2012
  2. Remove unnecessary/unwanted possessions from my life (decluttering!)
  3. Lose weight to become a healthy weight (want to lose 4 stone)
These may change as we go on but I thought these three would make a good start.

I've already signed up to two monetary challenges for 2012 (Pay off ALL debt by Xmas 2012 and Save £12k in 2012). I have also agreed to myself to accept the challenge of not buying any books until I've read all the ones I've already got. This will help with goal number 2!

I'm off to list all the novels I have that I haven't read yet. I will donate any I don't want to read any more, and I will start working my way through the others. Every time I've read one, I can get rid of it, and I'll be one less item down on the clutter!

    I think my book passion keeps me sane on this DFW journey :D:p

  • I'm inbetween books at the moment! I am going to be reading 'When God was a Rabbit' next I think!

    Good news: Just been accepted for a 0% credit card balance transfer deal for 20 months...that will hopefully save a bit in interest!
