    Week 1/4 in November 2016 :xmastree::xmastree::xmastree:

    To keep track of my targets and keep motivated on my journey to being debt free and financially secure I set myself weekly goals which I keep track of via this thread, these challenges are mainly around how much additional income I aim to make during the week to put towards my savings or paying off my debt.

    I also include any wombling i do and any roadkill i find :)


    So for the first week of November...

    Goal 1) I will aim to make £50 from Facebook selling sites, the money I will make from selling on Facebook will go directly to my parents to start reducing the money I owe them.

    Goal 2) I will Sell 5 items on eBay, again I want to make £50 after taking out Paypal/eBay/postage fees. This money will go towards my premium bond saving!!

    Goal 3) I want to have 4 NSD this week! :j

    I hope everyone has had a great last week of October and isn't too overwhelmed that christmas is only 55 days away!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

    Weekly summery

    This week hasn't gone quite as I had planned, I spent a one whole evening after work at the office doing course work for a training course I'm doing, I spent one evening with my girlfriend and another meeting with a friend for a drink. Don't get me wrong each evening was great but It left me with very little time to myself so I could sell things or organise my 'stuff'.

    I sold one thing of Facebook this week which my parents gave me to sell on the agreemeant I would go 50:50 on anything I made, I sold it for £60, so I had £30 to pay off my dad who paid in advance for my paint balling next weekend :T


    I haven't had the time list any items on eBay in the past week so I will roll that goal over to next week, if i get time I MAY just put one or two things on there tonight, but we'll see!

    Finally, just when I started selling progress on the boat it goes backwards a little, I had the wood burner on today and noticed a little amount of smoke coming out behind the wall :eek::eek::eek: which as you can imagine isn't what you want to see.....I let the stove die out and ripped the wood and panellng from behind the fire, the firebire glass insulation had got hot and started to smaulder. It turned out there was no fire !!!!!! material behind the stove... So that's another to add to the list of things I need to do to the boat! Haha :p
