Mr Bloater's "Change Your World in 80 Days" Challenge.

NewLeaf_2

Hi All,

Really enjoyed Mr. Bloater's last thread so thought I could join in here if you have room for another

1) lose 30lbs (3/week)
2) Pay off £5,000 of the tax bill
3) Fleabay like crazy
4) incorporate exercise into my daily life
5) focus completely on my job during the 9 hours a day I work and not do extra or stress about it outside those hours
6) Be a more loving partner
7) Try to enter 30 comps a day and see if I can win some xmas pressies.

Oh my gosh, 30 comps A DAY???? I wish I could find the motivation for that!!! I struggle to do a survey a month I'm just toooooo lazy.

I'm just adding my list

1. Get a permanent job (applied for 2 today) as fed-up with being on a rolling temp. contract
2. Work to reduce my weight to 12St (was 15St 1Lb 8Oz on 14/4/12, but down to 14St 12Lb 14Oz as at 9/5/12)
3. Take my photography more seriously and actually enter some competitions.
4. Get stuck in to finding an alternative income stream.

This is a good idea. was going to join in the last challenge but there was no way i would have saved 2 grand.

My list would be

1. reduce weight, even slightly would be nice
2. Get all of the decorating done in the house.
3. try and complete all surveys
4. reduce debt and make additional payments no matter how little.

Great, the more the merrier!! Frodobaggins- well done on the weight loss so far!
Mandz- I'm in Nottingham too! I didn't manage to save two grand on the last challenge either...
Newleaf- I'm impressed by the competitions!
Patman- one of my challenges is to find a new income stream too- will yours be photography based? I enjoy photography but I haven't really done anything with it.
Hope Mr B is feeling a lot better, he sounded very poorly.

I'd like to join too please. This sounds like the thread that will get me motivated and happy. I'm looking forward to seeing how you all progress with your goals too.

My goals are as follows:

• Lose 21lbs - not sure this is do-able but I'm going to try
• Get a regular income that is enough to live on
• Have summer feet!
• Make £10 a week minimum extra income from ebay, surveys etc

Get some good habits and routines in place, these being:

• Half an hour cleaning/tidying x2 daily
• 30 minutes admin daily
• No food leftovers, challenge to use up everything
• Two hours writing daily - blogs, book or coursework
• Three ten minute bursts of exercise, excluding riding

All goals are achievable but I'm ashamed to say I've let things slip

Hi Piquant and welcome aboard! I'm sure we can all motivate each other.

Morning everyone

Just a quick update - paid £2.87 from the odds in bank account to nationwide overdraft this morning so I've now paid £12.60.

Hope everyone is doing well on the challenge. I have had a chance to read back the last few posts but I will catch up tonight.

Happy wednesday!

PS. Welcome to everyone who has recently joined the challenge

Morning everyone!

I've made 85p this morning doing a mind numbingly boring survey, will look for others later. I've set up a spreadsheet to track earnings.

Haven't lost any weight since yesterday, but I was very good on the eating and didn't cheat at all and managed my three bursts of exercise.

I've been accepted to write for a well known horse site, although the money is peanuts, it is experience and I hope it will lead to better things. Also got a weekend job at the coffee shop in the local garden centre, so a little more money coming in.

I didn't manage any of my writing goals last night as I lost connection to the internet :mad:

See you all later
