New targets for July:

Make £200 from stuff I no longer need or want
Continue to get loft sorted
Plumbing work
Electrical work
Sort out shed*
Sort storage space
Kon Marie clothes again-I think they must be breeding up there!
Save £300
Overpay on mortgage
Sort out inventory of food
Menu plan
Sort out and pay change into savings

I think that's more than enough to be going on with.

Just putting this post on the next page so I can refer back to it easier.

Gosh another month - gone. I really need to make lists like yours.

That way I can clearly see the progress I'm making/or not.

MK'd my everyday wardrobe, but as they say - things get worse before they get better, I now have wee piles of clothes everywhere :eek: so need to add, tidy the house onto my list

Yes, make a list A Frayed Knot. I love lists. I find I get more done if I work from a list...or several lists even.
I've got a a busy week is week. Lots going on.

Been doing more number crunching. I'm hopeful that by September we should be sub 50k :j
Looking forward to that one.

I make lists all the time but short term ones and never reach the end of them

Then start a new list, never reaching the end of that, either, one day . . . .


Have a good productive, busy week.

We are so alike! :rotfl::rotfl:
I make a list, then I make another list-adding stuff not done from previous list. Then I start another list and if I'm feeling particular unmotivated I add things I've just done so I can tick them off and feel better... ...
I still get more done with a list than without though.

Even so, there's still a lot if pleasure in crossing things off :T

right, targets for 2016
1). pay 10k off the mortgage
2). Clear out the loft
3). Sell loads of my stuff I no longer need-this will raise much needed funds to achieve number 1).
4). Do some maintenance on house and/or garden
5). Finish some decorating
6). Save 4K emergency fund-only got £300 so far-things keep coming up so I need to use it.
7) save 3k projects fund (PF)

I think that's a good start for a list.
Let's get busy!

I have just spent 5 minutes finding this 2016 targets post...sums up my life really, the fact that I couldn't find it.
I am so disorganised. I'm sure there's a book for that-how to be more organised....I'm open to any hints, tips and ideas. All suggestions welcome
