2) Complete tidying for the boyf.
3) Give antibiotics to girlie kitty, she hurt her paw . DONE
4) Tweeze eyebrows lol.

I'd like to join in with this thread, I did join in last year but stopped doing it. My aims are to clear my debit, lose 3 stone and get my house organized. Today I have:
1) started using MSE again
2) Transferred half my debit to interest free.
3) not drank or bought any diet coke for 2 days
4) tidied living room
5) ran about in park with DD
6) didn't have a cake with coffee in park
7) didn't have a glass of wine after tea
8) cooked Shepard pie for tea with stuff we already had
9)looked at selling on ebay
10) removed paypal link to Facebook so I wont pay to play games.

Hey justamummy! Thought i'd reply to this as you sound a lot like me! I am addicted to diet coke though am permitting myself to drink it atm as i am also trying to shift a bit of weight; my aim is a stone in the next 3 weeks. I think I'm well on the way as I used to easily devour 6 big packs of cadbury chocolate buttons in one week, now I have only had 2 cubes of cadburys chocolate in the past week :T and I have stopped craving sugar lol. My skin has also cleared up so that's an added bonus

You seem to be being really good with not having naughty treats etc! I'm pleased for you I have started selling things on ebay also and am a fiend of paying to play games on my iPhone... It's bad, one month I spent nearly £80 on games in a month and that's when I knew it had to stop I just made myself become busy with other things so that I now don't have time to play the games, though I like your idea of removing paypal. :T

Hope you have another productive day today and that you come back to this thread!:beer:

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is ok.

I can't believe how time flies :eek: its almost the end of another year.

I'm going to do some positive steps for next week starting from Monday 5th.

1. Finish wallpapering in the kids bedroom.
2. Sort out new bank account and online banking and transfer all direct debits and payments.
3. Declutter as much as possible.
4. Try to boost income as much as possible.
5. Sort out taking one of our armchairs to my aunties and change the living room around.
6. Do some revision.
7. Pay as many bills as possible.
8. Sign up for some freebies.
9. Try to stay frugal and healthy with food.
10. Try to get as much work done at work so I can free up time for bookkeeping (more experience will soon pay off!)


Haven't really got much to do as a bit short on cash these next few weeks until pay day. One of my biggest things to do though is to read up on things on here and maybe join a few threads to boost income, save money and become more savvy.

Hello Ellabeagle! As the website has kindly stated I am a moneysaver newbie hehe! Thought I'd strike up conversation as you sound v nice and like you are getting organised which I admire. :T My favourite is the decluttering- I am one of the most minimialist people you will meet when it comes to clutter. Sure, I love having a lot of stuff, but not when it's not functional or it's in the way or makes the place look messy. I love to have things simplistic and neat I also find that when there's not much clutter that I am a lot calmer and can think more clearly. So i hope this is going well!

I am also thinking about starting bookkeeping! I'm not too sure what I want to do with my life yet but this is one of my main ideas. how are you finding it? Hope you have a productive Sunday! :beer:

Hey sooooooz ! My list is okay- so far I've been to the gym and given Pix her antibiotic Oh and I've done half of Tom's tidying, I'll do some more soon.

Getting the hang of this forum stuff, done a signature I also need to organise my diary and make a proper food diary complete with exercises etc.

Do ALL the washing up, not just 10 things :money:

Hello hello hello I am back from my trip just a few hrs and thought i just had to pop in and see how everyone has been doing - A HUGE well done to you all for stepping away and getting through those lists!!

I had very limited internet access while i was away which proved rather interesting considering i spend so much time online - made me think quite a lot about how i spend my time :o

Anyway, although i wasn't stepping while away i did get some very important things done - I hopefully have found my new house I have to meet the owners next week and if they like me ok i should be signing my contract and moving before the end of the week If it all goes to plan i will share some pics

I also managed to squeeze in a car boot sale while i was there :rotfl::rotfl: I need to have £1000 as a deposit ready to hand over so i didn't want to lose a days selling

Apart from all the house viewing and car booting i did manage to fit in some lovely walks, some photography, some reading and even some knitting :rotfl: Now i have to focus on getting ready to move and sorting out my car.......

Some things i want to get done tomorrow:

Contact house agent and set up meeting
Lodge money into house account
Check my balance for how much i need to get the £1000 ready to hand over
Check time for GP appointment - done
Go to GP appointment
Go to appointment with support worker
Sort out SORN for car and post
Empty hire car
Return hire car
check ebay sales
see if Lisa still has packing boxes
catch up with fb messages
find phone charger

Going to stop thinking now and go to bed - am shattered and have a busy day ahead :rotfl: chat tomorrow xxxx

I had a wonderful time away thanks was just so good to be in a beautiful part of the country - am downloading some pics so will share a few once i get myself that organised :rotfl::rotfl:

I did hear about superpoints and unfortunately i was almost at cashing out £15 - if i had internet access while away i probably would have got it claimed! That was the first time i had allowed the points to build up as well :mad: Who knows what will happen but tbh i got about £150 out of them so i'm not really that miffed. Its just one of those things! Was good while it lasted

Good Luck with the CC hunt - did you put it somewhere safe??? :rotfl:
