I love this thread!!
Be warned another fat and poor poster :rotfl:
My goals are...
1) clear my credit card
2) save every month
3) ride my horses more (sounds stupid but I don't do it enough and it will help me with my next goal and it keeps me sane!)
4) lost 2 stone
5) stop eating crap!
6) make some new friends!
7) Get fitter
8) do a colour run (will need to do number 7 for this too)
9) find something to appreciate every single day, it's so easy to find a negative with my days but I don't look for the positive, going to try this instead.
10) learn a new skill
11) a relationship would be nice...
Phew! Thinks that's all, it's always good to aim high!!£0.00/£2014 saved!

Goals for 2014 - Here's hoping I stick to them!!
1 - Finish paying off my last credit card and cancel it! - £2401.22 left to go, should be done by the end of march! :j
2 - Stop smoking
3 - Lose weight - ALOT of it!
4 - Stop drinking diet coke completely
5 - Go to the dentist (I haven't been for about 3 years now)
6 - Save at least 6k
7 - Go on at least 1 holiday
Not too many, some easy, some hard (stopping smoking) but I'm determined that 2014 will be the year that I FINALLY get my life in order and start doing something, rather than sitting on my bum and hoping it will all fix itself!
Saved so far - £28,890.97

Update on no.6.
Had my 2nd driving lesson today & loved it!!!!
Spent ages goin around roundabouts cos I was a bit panicky over them the last time.
I am so much more comfortable with them now.
Next lesson is on Monday 6th January which will be another 2 hour lesson.
Will be moving onto manoeuvres next time, I am excitedddddddddd.
Not got anything to update on my other goals nor do I have any more to add yet.
Still think this is the best thread ever.

What a great thread. I am flabby and poor and my list is:
-Pay off secured loan before I am made redundant in the summer. This is a biggy!
- Find a new challenging job with a salary that begins with a 3
- Lose half a stone
- Exercise at least twice a week and keep up the fell walking which I love
- Clear the 2 CC DH and I took out this year and get rid
- Save £5k
- Overpay mortgage by £2k
- Run 5k if dodgy back allows if not sort out dodgy back
- DS to sleep all night in his own bed then get dry at night
- Improve my diet by eating more f&v and ensuring 100% GF on a budget
- Stick to a food budget, our biggest area of overspending
- Start writing my first e-book
- Think about/research starting a blog on same subject as e-book
- Visit/walk/do everything on mine and DH '50 places to visit' list for 2014. This will mean we are spending more time as a family, doing things as a couple and will relieve stress for DH as well as saving money as most are free or cheap and will help with our fitness
Good luck everyone with your goalsSave £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
