    The ebay listings I made myself do last week brought in just over £70 so I'm super chuffed! Need to keep going while I'm on a roll! I lost track with MM, my aim was to pay off my CC which I have done, but I used wedding savings for a part of that (a lot of the balance was wedding stuff) so I'm not counting it as it seems a bit like cheating.

    Happy Easter everyone!

    Yikes I agree, £700 is fantastic. (I'd be excited about £70 :o) Everybody having a good Easter? OH and I cooked a herb crusted rack of lamb last night for the first time and it was lush!! He's been working all of the holiday so it was nice to chill out together. I've taken the whole weekend off and done DIY on the closet, which is nearing completion. First coat of gloss on, so I hope it will be done by the weekend. Just in time for Achievement April. I have been meaning to do this since October 2011 :eek:

    Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter weekend. Just a quick question:

    Are we declaring which goals we would like to achieve during April or just trying to aim for a set number?

    I was going to aim for a number Starnac but then decided just to go for it and see how many I get :)

    Excited for the Big Reveal Lara!

    My list http://dayzeroproject.com/user/Dinah93 - I know it has 145 things on it - some of them are far too expensive or requre too much time (travel things mostly) to be done by the end of the time, but if I get 101 things done total the rest can go to my next 101 things list

    Think I'm going to sit this month out, self improvement scares me ;) that and I don't have a Day Zero list, or the mental capacity to make one :( good luck to everyone else, though!

    Hope everyone had a nice extended weekend! I still have today off, but OH is back at work so I'm just going to clean, walk Ryderoodle, make lasagne for tea (OH has never had it!) with apple and rhubarb crumble for afters *pats belly*

    ETA: well done on £700 btw, we got to roughly the same and I have no idea how!

    Dinah there are a few goals on there you could get done. Especially the food ones. Goal for today then - make my own day zero list.

    Cinny - your OH has never had lasagne? :eek: it's a staple here especially since DH learnt how to make pasta!!
