    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Last week I did:
    finish GD's dress
    cancel old DD
    transfer balance to new card

    I got partway through the ironing, and I'm afraid the paper piles have grown larger than ever!

    This week:
    empty ironing basket
    find spare bed under paper piles
    cut out summer skirt for me (that'll ensure the rain keeps falling on the bean plants!)
    No more - I feel number two is not a likely winner even from today!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
  • hi - looks like people had mainly productive week last week!!

    my last week goals were:

    get my snowball up to date done great for motivation
    update signature done
    pay cc bill x2 (after checking snowball) paid one cash to do other one this week in bank
    finish sorting paperwork have made great progress on this - off to do another hour now
    start using my lovely spreadsheet i worked hard to set up!! that will follow soon as paperwork gets sorted but will carry over

    so this week i must:

    start using spreadsheet
    follow tondella's 31 dfw the flylady way thread - i started this before and then lost my way - so am back on track
    keep a spending diary - within my budget
    and i too am following flylady over on os board but not going to post as going to spend my time on this board to keep motivted and sorted so -
    post spends on daily threads

    not too bad should all be achievable - the spreadsheet is my worst as it requires going through current bank statement :o
