Aims for August

headoutthesand

Hi guys

was just wondering if anyone wanted to share their intentions for August?

I listed this threa for July and some of the people said it was helpful cos when it's written down, it makes you more focused to follow it through (or something like that)

Anyway my aims for August are:

Pay Barclaycard (done already)
Start a monthly essentials account (£100)
Pay £400 to Next
Make sure i have something in the house to use in my packed lunch to avoid spending cash
Aim to have a NSD mon - fri (excluding baby milk and nappies)
Not be embarraced at the hairdressers when i tell them not to bother blowdrying and straightening my hair, thus saving me £22 :T
Do a car boot next week

Can't think of anything else at the mo but i'm sure it will come to me

Anyone else want to join in?

My aim will be to get through August without incurring any charges.

Also to enjoy the summer with the children

Okay, (I can't believe that it's August!) here's my little list for the month:

Pay as much as possible to Barclaycard.
Make sure my reclaimed bank charges are PAID by Barclays.
Try to keep spends down to as little as possible.
Sell as much as I can on eBay. (already made 30.00!!)
Take packed lunches to work!
Try to walk to and from work instead of getting the bus!
Hi-Light my own hair... tricky, but SOOOO much cheaper!

Good luck everyone!

My aims:

- try and aim for no overdraft by the end of the month (no mean feat when I'm aready £130 in the red and off on holiday 2moro!)
- decorate my hallway when DS goes on his hols with his Dad
- clear some more clutter via freecycle and a friends fundraising summer fete
- clear out my shoecupboard to make way for the washer to be plumbed in there (to make way for new dishwasher that I got from freecycle to go in its place)

phew - am exhausted just thinking about it!!

Oh, can I join in please? Writing it down makes it so much more motivational.

My aims are;

1. To pay my car loan off - Have the money in a savings account just need a settlement figure after the 21st.

2. To pay back some of the money I owe my b/f
3. To try and not go into my OD

The last two could difficult with looming large vet bills on the horizon

This month I hope to sell most of my books on Amazon & Ebay. Fix my bike so I can travel free to work. Not to go overdrawn this month. Add £250 to my total for the Olympic Challenge.

I'm looking to clear as much of my £350 Electricity bill as possible this month, reason being, they've got me on a repayment of 40% of any top up I make.

Her it goes.

Hi folks, this is a new challenge for me. I seriously hope not to draw any money out of my current account. I have £110.00 in my purse, and I will get my family allowance 4weeks standing at present~£32.20 a week), but I want to be really tight this month and only use cash available.
