Morning all! And so begins the weekly positive thinking thread... what have you got to look forward to this week?

Personally I'm having one of those day where EVERYTHING is going wrong so a little positive thinking will do me the world of good right now...

So this week I will mostly be looking forward to...
  • Payday today! Woohoo!
  • Making a list (I love lists) of meals and our shopping list
  • Doing our food shop tonight
  • I WILL CATCH UP WITH THE HOUSEWORK
  • TC going in weds so we can move it over to the debt account and start building up the Barclaycard fund.

Hope everyone has a good week!

    Finally gettting my cheque for bank charges from Barclays, and paying some bills with it! First week of hardcore moneysaving, after a bit of a slip off the wagon.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    This week I am looking forward to:

    Getting my money through from Amazon.
    Having as many NSD's as possible
    Making a list of Cd's to go on Amazon.

    But mostly I am looking forward to my cousin's wedding. She gets married on saturday and as one of her bridesmaids I get to wear the fabulous dress that cost ME £200!
    Current debt - £16,300 :(
    Debt at worst 17/03/2011 - £18,067.62:eek::eek:

    -Relaxing in my sparkling clean, beautifully tidy house, courtesy of my sudden, bizarre need to clean everything in sight
    -The bank holiday weekend

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    This week I am looking forward to having time to plan spending for whole month (see, being home ill can be positive too!) so I can work out where extra payments can go. I'm looking forward to getting dress made for granddaughter before she returns from visit to German grandparents. I'm looking forward to getting some non -school reading done as well. A good week ! Thanks for the idea of being "Monday positive"!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    I'm already getting the urge lol.....I was just debating whether or not I could get the vac downstairs and out onto the drive without doing myself an injury!

    Has your spd cleared up completely now? I'm fed up of mine, it's so bloody painful sometimes.

    Generally it's fine but I still get the odd twinge if I try to do certain things like hoofing open doors with my feet or lifting heavy things.. Took a good 6 weeks before I could walk normally though...
