    I quite like the time between Christmas and New Year to take stock of the fresh year ahead, so will set myself 3 challenges (once I'm feeling less ) and report back later.

    Practical, metaphysical, or both? :D I'll be launching a whole raft of challenges and goals (not resolutions) on my diary in the next day or so. Hope you're feeling chirpier now?

    MUCH better thanks Ed:D

    In terms of the challenges, I am trying to be more creative than stating the obvious ones being; savings, health/fitness, diet etc.

    Of course being on this board I can't ignore the obvious, and have even started account tidy ups (or tilly ups;)) ideally I would hope to be in the 90s by the time my existing product expires (November 2013) whilst starting on home and garden improvements - I think rewire of house is a must prior to thinking about decoration.

    Also, once challenges are defined I'll create a proper signature so there's no hiding:p

    Might even go as far as flying-lady-ing:D

    Can someone explain to me what a tillyup is ? I reckon it's something to do with paying your mortgage off but can I get a dummies explanation please

    Glad the party went went natty ( have bee trying to read your full diary I think I'm half way through now )
  • Hi Elantan, I believe I am the culprit here. I check the bank accounts and 'tidy' any pennies 1p-99p into the mortgage. I've done it for the last few months, just to help the OPs along.

    By way of introduction I'm Tilly, hence Tillyups :)

    Evening all

    I have just watched the most amazing documentary film entitled Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead....if anyone's interested it follows an Australian guy who regains full health by undertaking a reboot (increasing his fruit and veg intake to 100%) via juicing.

    This really appeals to me to try during the remaining week I have off work, as I genuinely love juiced fruit and veg (I've dug out my juicer which is currently going through a 'deep cleanse' in the dishwasher;) and think my body could do with a detox to kickstart the 2013 ME:D
    (I guess I've just stated my sub-mini-goal #1)

    Proper Goal #1 is to reduce my mortgage to the low 90's by November 2013

    I'm still contemplating 2013 goals #2 and #3

    NP:D

  • Hi Natty, what channel was it on please? I don't think I'm eating enough fruit so that may help

    Thanks Tilly x

    I like this idea ( and the name :) )

    Gonna explain to me though ( cause I am a bit slow sometimes)

    Do you not have your money worked out so tha you have just the right amount in the bill fund and any extra going straight to the mortgage on pay day ?

    Also how often do you Do it ?

    Sorry if my questions seem silly just trying to get my head around it ... I like the idea and might try it out ( my £3.60 the other day was a start:) )
