    I always start in one room, find something that belongs in another cupboard, go to that cupboard, get distracted and start tidying, spot something that belongs somewhere else, get distracted.... before i know have everything everywhere.

    Me too, that is why I am trying a plan. I normally start downstairs in one room and move everything to the room it belongs in and sort it once I move there and that is probably how it will work this week.

    We have been shopping at Lid! today and shouldn't need to go shopping apart from for milk until Friday, I am really going to try and stick to this.

    I have been looking at the spreadsheets, we will definately make our MFiT challenge for this year, but if we revert to £100 a month from April then we will not make out MFW 2013 target. I need to get selling and working on Mr AJM so he doesn't think he needs such a huge buffer zone in his current account at the end of each month.

    I am not sure I would want to regularly work a 6 day work however I have had a good but exhausting day. I have met a lot of the kids we will be working with in the youth band, some of who I already know and am ready for our 4 day residential weekend over Easter. I have no idea how much I am getting paid which I guess is not a good think but I have a feeling that I will probably get emergency taxed on it initially.

    I need a bit of a break and then I need to bake a cake for a social event we have at work tomorrow.

    TT of £1.35 into my OP account ready for the end of the month.

    Just had to transfer £50 from my ISA to my current account to put it back the right side of 0 after spending for Mr AJMs birthday. I think I may struggle to make it to the end of the month.
