Hope you don't mind me joining?
This week I'd like to do following:-
~Send cashback stuff for physiotherapy
~Send cashback stuff for glasses
~Send letter to complain and get reimbursement about the fact that I was "shortlisted" for a job then told 2 weeks later that I wasn't - and incurring hotel fees that I couldn't cancel.
~Clear some space in my bedroom as we've got friends staying in 3 weeks and I've got to clear and re-arrange before they come over and sort out another bedroom for me to sleep in!
~Sort things out to car boot next Sunday (1 one so wish me luck) / ebay
~Try and exercise or at least do 5 * 30 mins per week.
~Do my ironing
~Wash my car
Think I'm going to be busy this week. :rotfl:0 -
Forgot to do this last week so using my goals from two weeks ago!!1) Packed lunch to work each day again - bought lunch once so that's better than normal!
2) Don't buy bottles of coke at work at all. I have squash and tea already there to be drunk. - I bought one can of coke all week which is darn good going!
3) Don't take cash out of the bank, I have more than enough in my purse this week. Ummm, nope. Not magaged!
4) Gym twice, swim twice Definitely not
5) Try not to be too much of a wedding bore this week. Definitely do not buy any more wedding magazines!!! - Acheived. With grand success. Have been procrastinating quite a lot on the confetti forum though
So, this week:
1) Do not, do not, do not, take any more money out of the bank. I have a tenner for miscellaneous spends.
2) Only use switch card once to pay for contact lens check up and new contacts.
3) Tackle the ironing mountain.
4) Gym twice, swim once, walk from work to Paddington once.
5) Find more race for life sponsors
6) Take packed lunch to work every day
7) Set up A&L account, start putting money into ISA for wedding.
8) Sit down with OH and work out a proper wedding budget. In excel and everything. Might even have some lovely linked spreadsheets. Ooooooooh.

* Find at least one thing to list on Amazon or EBAY. I'm afraid not, too busy! But I did re-list something on Amazon today.
* Use QuidCo & Pigsback every day. Yep!
This week's goals are much the same:
* Get lifts where possible to/from work.
* Bank £10 from my Mum to go towards Saturday's hair cut & colour.
* Have at least one no spend day.
* Take some photos of clothes ready to list on EBAY (even if I don't get around to listing them).
* Get some free exercise in the evening - at least one evening!
* Use Pigsback & QuidCo searches everyday.
* Make a list of things to do for next weekend so I don't waste it.
Good luck everyone, I hope you all have a successful week.Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
