Thank you. It will be, one way or another.

I can't find anywhere appropriate to start a new thread.
So I'm starting a mini challenge on this thread.
I intend to try and save £350 a month.
I sorted out the lounge the other day and storage and I have so much stuff I need to get rid of! :eek: so I need to photograph and sell as much stuff as possible.
I did manage a small sale yesterday. £3

Targets for September:
Spend a maximum of £200 for groceries, pet food and cleaning stuff. fail, spent over £280
10 no spend days lost track.
Make at least £250 getting rid of unwanted/no longer needed stuff fail not even £200
Eat out of the freezer/store cupboards for at least a week. pass, we managed this one
Clear some clutter pass, I had a really good sort out and got rid of loads of stuff, still loads of stuff to sort though.
Sort out DVDs and CDs-again. sorted, just need to get rid of them
Keep a diary of all my spends. fail, stopped early on in. month.
I'm not waiting for September to make a start, I started today.

[on a positive note, I did manage to pay the huge unexpected bill.
I have been somewhat sidetracked this month. Unexpected 'events and occurrences'
Need to set targets for next month and must try harder.

Hope all goes well TC. Feel free to start a new diary on MFW if you want to. Lot's of us don't fit the criteria and the forum police haven't thrown us off yet .

Well...after a turbulent few days I need to re-evaluate...everything.
Due to recent revelations my focus is more on savings than paying mortgage off.
Maybe time for another thread ...

I also have so much [STRIKE]stuff[/STRIKE], oh, I mean treasures, that I need to get rid of too. I kept going round and round, then thought If I create a room of doom (or garage), put everything I don't want or need in there I can just work my way through that, when I find the time, all other rooms will be as I want them :j Perfect.

thanks AFK, yes I have lots of treasures[STRIKE]stuff[/STRIKE] I really need to get my rear in gear and start listing. I'm aiming to list at least 50 things a week in October.

That is a lot of listing, but to spur you on, things are picking up nicely on the b@y :j, so should see sales improve :j Let me know how many you get listed by the end of next week, and if I can "get my rear in gear":rotfl: I'll let you know how many I have listed You can do it :beer:
