Ready to do it all over again ...

I've booked ds haircut (friday 11.15) and have found the fitbit and it's now charging. I think I might set myself a monthly target for that, based on 10,000 a day - some days I will do more, others may be less, but if I aim for 10,000 x days in the month it should even itself out

Hiya Benben congrats on selling your flat good luck on buying the house.

I will be back on here too as with a bit of luck my London flat has sold and I will be trying to get rid of this house mortgage in the next five years-bring it on!

Really pleased to hear you are on the move soon - looking forward to hearing all about the new pad! And of course, to ring very impressed with all your organisation and immense lists:rotfl:

Hello Pixie and Tootallulah :hello:

So I decided the reason I wasn't really getting on with things today was because nothing is in its prpoer place because of Christmas stuff, so that's it, Christmas has gone in our house :eek: To be fair I've done quite well for me this year, normally I'm itching to get rid of it on Boxing Day, so it's lasted quite well Anyway, it gave me a chance to sort through and bin a couple of bits and pieces that don't get used each year, so now it all fits into 2 boxes. I just need to put in the lights from the tree out the front then I can seal it up ready to go into storage

I might go and have a bath in a bit and then I can get my pj's on, think about dinner a bit later then do some more pottering tonight. I think it might be mainly laptop based pottering, I need to have a good declutter of my documents on here, upload photos from Christmas etc and generally get everything straight again Oh and I might watch a bit of footie later too

Thanks Skint Spice, think you need to update your signature soon

So I've had a lazy lie-in this morning, now time to crack on. Today involves changing both beds, gutting all paperwork, a trip to the tip, and a couple of other bits from the to do list. I have prepared my spreadsheet for the new year, so I am ready to fill in where all my savings will hopefully be coming from

Welcome and Good Luck! Sounds like you are off to a dynamic start.

Both beds have been stripped, mine has been remade, ds hasn't done his yet :cool: Washing machine and dishwasher are both doing their thing. Paperwork has been gutted, it wasn't too bad actually as I did it relatively recently. We're thinking about dropping the stuff at the tip then taking the dog down the beach for a bit as it's lovely out there this morning

I have also gone through my vouchers box, I put all gift vouchers in one place throughout the year and use them towards Christmas shopping. I still have some left over that haven't been used:

£20 Boots vouchers
£20 Sainsburys gift cards
£40 Tesco clubcard vouchers
£10 Mastercard online voucher
Afternoon tea at a local hotel voucher
