    Hello everyone. I had a great week! My Goals were:

    * Get as many lifts to / from work as possible so I don't have to use the bus. Achieved, got lifts every day.
    * Take HM lunches in every day. Yep!
    * Try & get rid of the knackered washing machine free of charge. I don't want it hanging around looking all messy in the front garden once we've unplumbed it. Yep! Council took it away on Friday.
    * Try to get washing machine either discounted through BF's work or through QuidCo if it works out better to get cash back. Would prefer the former. Yep - BF bought a machine from work and it's all plumbed in & working now. :)
    * Try and have as many NSD as possible. I had two or three I think.
    * Do QuidCo searches every day & Pigsback stuff too. Yep.
    * See if I can use friend/neighbours washing machine in interim period as I can't afford to go to launderette and who wants to spend an evening there anyway? Yep! My friend let me use her machine on Monday and that kept us going through till getting the machine plumbed in.

    So not a bad week then! :D

    This week my goals are:

    * As many lifts as possible again.
    * At least one NSD.
    * Find at least one thing to list on Amazon or EBAY.
    * Use QuidCo & Pigsback every day.


    Good luck to all! :)

    I'm glad this thread has re-started as it really keeps me focussed. This week I plan to:
    1. Use only freezer/cupboards for meals, buy as little as possible but it's inevitable that I will
    2. earn at least £5 doing my friend's ironing
    3. Do click throughs
    4. Post CTC form so that I continue to get my money
    5. Finish decorating bathroom
    6. Stop smoking - priority
    7. Sort mine/DD clothes ready for ebay
    8. List 5 items on Turbolister ready to list
    9. Clean filthy car
    10. Do at least 1 hours weeding
    11. Do my big pile of ironing
    And that's enough for this week
