Definitely sounds like it!!! LOL - I've often thought that for me there is a connection ( I used to spend when I felt down about my appearance. I still feel down a lot of the time about how I look but I have just tried to channel it into other things, not spending!!!)

Fab thread!!!

1. Save £5000 (want to buy a house so this will be a start)
2. Weigh 10st 7lbs (long long longgggggggg road)
3. Get into exercise (I am a lazy sod)
4. Keep to my shopping budget (Not good at this at all)
5. Get a job (This should probably have been number 1! Oops)
6. Pass my driving test (Theory passes 13th December 2013)

I am sure that is it.

We should keep this thread active while updating on our goals as we achieve them.

Well done on passing your theory test Dolly and good luck for your driving test when it comes around!!!:T

I joined a similar thread last January and we all updated in December. Out of the 5 goals I set I achieved 3 completely, 1 75% and the other I changed my mind. Make sure to come back next year and update!


* work on social life. This year on my birthday I felt really lonely and decided I won't feel that way again next!

Hi - I felt really lonely on my birthday this year too. It was awful. I should have made plans but I didn't because I had a low mood. I vowed that that wouldn't happen again either. Let's keep to that vow x

Already started! I dropped the price of an item I'm trying sell on ebay (it's third run now) by £10 - I figured I'd rather sell the item for a bit less than I think it's worth and have that money to put towards debt, than keep the item that I don't need. Never had trouble selling this sort of thing before, but there's a first time for everything.

I won't own a rapidly depreciating cash guzzling lump of plastic. metal and rubber otherwise known as a car. I will use my Honda scooter for personal transportation and hire a car when I absolutely need one.

I will save 10% of my income.

I won't upgrade my cell phone, computer or TV unless they die on me.

I won't make any impulse purchases.

I won't waste a single baht (I live in Thailand).

I won't take a holiday abroad. Thailand is paradise on earth, anywhere else is an anti climax.

I would totally agree with that Asiacat! We went to Oz, HK and Thailand last year for a month, LOVED Thailand, would return in a heartbeat if we didn't have so much debt!!! Yes, this trip contributed to the debt, lol.

Hi I gave up drinking 3 weeks before Christmas I have turned to being a celebratory drinker. I just hope I don't need to celebrate every day I will save 700 min per year and I feel better already x
