    Done everything on my list today.
    Tomorrow will be a duvet day with my dad and sister.

    Might try and get coursework done


    EDIT:

    I got paid today so I sat down and worked out
    my budget. I used the 50% 30% 20% method to do it as
    It gives me leeway to andd what i need to to each section.

    So I've budgeted
    £70.90 for repayments
    £67.40 for myself / christmas
    £48.70 for savings though once I talk to my mum about opening an emergency savings account this will probably be halved so half goes into savings and half goes into emergency fund if i do open up an account.

    I split the £22.60 so that £11.30 extra is for myself/christmas and the other £11.30 is for savings tin.

    So it's not acutally 50% 30% 20% but its just a guidence :P

    Morning guys :)

    I am up and about early today (rather than still up for a change lol) trying to get my brain in gear!

    So plans for today are:

    make the payment to clear my final debt :D:D
    do some sorting in the selling/craft room
    get some stuff listed on ebay/fb
    list stuff for mum on gumtree
    ring dad
    do some work on christmas quilt
    collect stuff i bought on fb
    design labels for jars
    do some knitting
    photograph some more stuff for selling
    adpoints + 50 - done :)
    1 survey
    book review
    sort mortgage blog

    hmmmmmm think that should keep me busy!

    btw do you all have long term goals that you are working towards? I reminded myself about this when i was blogging about my positive steps challenge and thought i would ask ;)
