I know I'm late starting but can I join in please?

In 2013 my goals are:

to stay out of debt and overpay the mortgage

to lose weight and get fitter without spending more money

to make the most of my appearance by using the cosmetics I have and by taking better care of my clothes, shoes etc

to rekindle my interest in crafting hobbies or sell/give away the equipment and materials

to declutter the house and then follow a cleaning routine

to train for a new career and get a new job

to try to use local, fresh produce in season and to avoid harmful chemicals for cleaning


tonight's contributions are to wash up, put a washload in and to plan tomorrow's small steps.

Well hello there,
Still lots to do and I am just not getting on the forum often enough :-(
But I am lurking and reading your posts guys don't worry.
Gothrock I did used to play bass but I would happily sing, not sure how I would do as a metal singer tho lol.
Thanks Fairy, I have missed our chats on here too! I have more to do but I have done a few bits on my list. Still have to sort out this annoying 3 and barclycard mess though....grrrr!

Thank you Fairyclicks - I'm really good at the chair and cuppa. It's the housework and exercise that I struggle with:rotfl:.

As I've done the washing up and have a washload in I can sort out my goals for the rest of the month of February and for tomorrow.

This month I'd like to get into the habit of taking a half hour walk three times a week and drinking more water and fresh veg. I plan to list at least three items to sell on e-bay, give away three items and throw away 9 rubbish items. I will iron 6 items every evening I am home and do 15 minutes of cleaning. I will practice my typing for half an hour every day.

Tomorrow's steps are:
walk
drink water
eat raw carrots for snacks (I've peeled and cut some ready)
take an old sofa to the recycling centre and a bag full of clothes to the charity drop off; take old duvet to animal sanctuary for dog beds
lunch with friend
vacuum floors
ironing
half hour typing
get oil for car
phone a friend to arrange to meet next week

I think this will do - nothing too onerous here.

I hope everyone achieves all they want to.

Cocoa and reading time now:)
