6. Save $10k/£5k towards my house deposit by August Saved £1k

Not doing as well as I could but my major goals, like my saving for my house deposit and my EF are going okay, which is the main thing guess. By not keeping to my budget I am only delaying my dreams.

My aims in 2015:-

2. Apart from the above, stop frittering away cash on stuff I don't need eg sweets magazines.
3. Pay off Overdraft and one credit card.
4. Housework - do a bit each day, don't let it pile up!
5. Declutter house - my friend thinks it's so funny, how many books on decluttering I have!
6. Do a joint car boot sale with afore mentioned friend. I made £14, £62, £32 in my three sales.
7. Sell something on Ebay.
8. Save roadkill in sealed container, open on 1/1/16.
