    4. To learn how to write a business plan and start my jewellery business
    5. To sell consistently on ebay
    6. To clear the junk from my spare bedroom and cupboard over the stairs
    7. To make better use of cashback sites
    8. To make more of my appearance, clothes and makeup
    9. To get a new fridge freezer
    10. To continue to help my mum & dad as much as possible
    11. To be a better friend and keep in touch better
    12. To pay off as much debt as possible.

    Hi,Since I posted early jan have improved mood even though news on illness is not good.I'll just have to take it as it comes and I am not determined not to stress out.Have cut smoking down quite a bit,eaten healthy with a few cheats.Cleared some stuff out and made some money on e bay.
    This week I need to dye hair,Keep spending down I've just bought new washer and two new TV's.So spending is down to a minimum for feb to re-coup some money back.
    Need to finish a few diy jobs off and then sewing machine is coming out,I found loads of material I forgot I'd got.
    House needs a tidy up,de-cluttering is on going my bedroom is next.Hopefully get all these done this week.
