Love your goals for this coming year. I have decided its time for me, all my family have grown up and keep telling me they can look after themselves, but it is hard to let go. I want to get out more and see more of this country, go for long walks. think I need to challenge myself. think I will also start entering competitions , somebody has to win.xx:j Debtfree and and staying that way.:j3-6 month emergency fund, No.61 £140.000

Happy New Year! Lucky - hope you achieve that impressive list of goals in 2018! :beer:
ps. You're right about feeling the same inside no matter how many years rattle past.. Personally I will be ignoring my "Big 0" birthday when it rolls around in the summer.

Morning! Hope everyone has settled into the New Year well Xx
New Years Day was my first NSD of the year. We went to my Mum’s for a buffet lunch which was nice, and managed to avoid the fact that Mr T’s was open on the way home. I did some shopping at Mr A’s yesterday instead, and spent £50 restocking the fridge with much healthier stuff than has been in there of late!!
Florida pot has had it’s first deposit - £11.31 from Topc@shback. We have decided as a family to save 20p pieces for Florida, and DS2 has taken that on as his project :T. He’s got a piggy bank all set up and will tell me when he thinks there’s enough in there to take to the bank.
So close to cashing out on two survey sites and more than half way to a third :T.
Both boys are still asleep :eek:. Will have to wean them back into a routine for Monday.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Small eBay profit and a bank balance tidy up, means Florida pot now stands at £19.93. I’ve just cashed out £10 PayPal from a survey site too, so will add that when it arrives.
Lost 2lbs at chub club :j.
MiL has decided not to come to Florida afterall, after getting me to find out if she was able to (she was). Have contacted the girl organising it all AGAIN to say it’s just the 4 of us once more, so hopefully it will be booked soon. Think we are looking at going sometime in May.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31.
