    Update.
    We are having fun encouraging each other and it is friendly competition between self and 10 yr old who wants to get dad joining in. The only problem is I want to write his to do list to get the pictures that have sat against the wall for a year hung up etc.....don't think a nag list is the way this challenge is supposed to go. Would be fun to write one thing on each other's list maybe? Really force us to do those things on the avoidance list.

    I have completed physio twice and about to deliver order

    Efficient 10 yr old read 3 books last night and just made bed this morning.

    So both made a start hope to form some new habits!

    Can I join in too please:


    This week I am going to:


    1: Start tracking my spending by keeping a log of all purchases made. EDIT; Have downloaded an App onto my phone for this purpose.


    2: Look at ways of selling things, I have some clothes which are brand new and still have the labels on them which I could probably sell if I knew how to go about doing it.


    3: Tidy my house up so it is in a more presentable state


    4: Attempt to make it clear yet again to OH that he NEEDS to contribute financially if he is going to continue living in this house as I cannot single handedly continue to support myself, him, 3 children and 4 cats on my salary. EDIT: Have had the conversation with him this morning so we'll have to see if he keeps his word and lets me have some money by the end of the week as he has promised.


    5: Apply for a loan for a travel pass from work as this will same me money in the long term. Will do this on the 6th when I go back to work.


    6: Start taking my lunch to work.


    7: Send parcel back to Amazon for Refund Edit: Its parcelled up and awaiting collection.


    8: Create and post template letter to bank for packaged account misspelling. I probably won't get any money back but its only costing me the price of a stamp to try!!!!

    Hello everyone,

    Got my 2013 diary checked and 2014 diary completed to date. Also have updated myself with the current and best prices per 100gr of required food groceries for this month. Glad this job is completed probably quicker than previous years. Will consider another task to start tomorrow.
