    1. do all the ironing -done, was a mission, but even managed to keep up with new ironing.

    2. Clean out kitchen cupboards, sort out what food I have/not got and make a meal plan and shop effectively - didn't clean out cupboards but did do shopping on line last week and for this week already!

    3. Go to the gym twice - if I have not been twice by the end of this week, I will cancel my membership - didn't go so will do as I promised and cancel membership (three months notice)

    4. Keep a spending diary and stick to my budget - failed miserably.

    5. Watch less TV - aids procrastination!!!! something I am good at- still procrastinating!

    THIS WEEK

    1. CLEAN OUT SHOE CUPBOARD - TURN INTO TOY CUPBOARD
    2. FINISH FREELANCE WORK FOR MEETING ON THURSDAY
    3. TIDY PAPERWORK IN DINING ROOM - COMPLETELY!
    4. SEND LETTER TO CANCEL GYM MEMBERSHIP
    5. DARE I SAY - CANCEL SKY TO FREEVIEW! WAIT FOR FALL OUT FROM FAMILY!

    Thanks for starting this one PAP. I've got all confused by the bank holiday and thought that today was Sunday!!! :o

    Goals for last week were:
    1) Take packed lunch to work every day - two packed lunches and three lunch meetings, so yep!
    2) Sort out my expenses - done, just waiting for them to hit the bank now
    3) Three no spend days - sadly no, I might have managed one
    4) Help OH look for a new mobile phone deal - yep, done, reduced his bill to £15 pcm from 60 pcm for same minutes!!!
    5) Gym twice - definitely not. Best make the effort this week otherwise I will be a FAT bride

    Goals for this week are:

    1) Packed lunch to work each day again
    2) Don't buy bottles of coke at work at all. I have squash and tea already there to be drunk.
    3) Don't take cash out of the bank, I have more than enough in my purse this week.
    4) Gym twice, swim twice
    5) Try not to be too much of a wedding bore this week. Definitely do not buy any more wedding magazines!!!

    Good luck everyone, thanks again PAP!

    hi, think i need to come back to this - i used to do moozies thread (is she not around now?) but have not been on top of things as much recently - i really like the idea of setting goals - thanks to all who organise

    last we heard moozie wasn't having a good time at work etc so we think she's just taking a little time off. I'm trying to keep the weekly challenge going each week in her absence and the daily thread appears every day too so please feel free to join in :D

    Hi, I think I'll join in this week if that's OK with all of you. I've fallen off the MSE bandwagon recently, so hopefully this will keep me focused. Here is my list:
    1. List 5 things on Ebay.
    2. Do a meal plan and stick to it.
    3. Take my own food to work all week - only 4 days, should be easy.
    4. Make bread instead of buying.
    5. Do some ironing - at least 1 hour.
    6. Do at least 1 hours weeding, ready to plant out vegetable seedlings.

    I think that should be enough for now. I work full-time too so just fitting these in will be a challenge!
