Comments

Thank you, I'm going to try and do a little studying this evening and also do another 4k steps to hit my 10k once DS is in bed.
Ordered a Christmas present this afternoon from my amazon vouchers, leaves me with 6 more to get, 1 of which will just be a token gift.Change the way you see things and the things you see will change0 -

Shame your lecture was a bit rubbish, makes you wonder what you're paying for :mad:.
Hope you feel more cheerful soon.

Haven't done too well with my list today! Today was a NSD though.
Cycle to uni - Morning did not go to plan so didn't have time to walk DS to childcare with my bike so had to take the car.

10k steps - 7500 achieved.
Print past exam papers - don't need these just yet so will do tomorrow.
[STRIKE]Tidy downstairs[/STRIKE] Done

List on eBay - Didn't have time for this but I have sold something today, have 2 parcels to send out tomorrow.

Start writing up assignment - putting this off until next week, its not due in until January and I just can't focus on it with my test coming up.
Tomorrow
Spend the day at uni doing revision (9.30 - 2)
More revision/studying in the evening
Print past exam papers for MT module
Tidy upstairs
Post 2 parcels

You've done quite a lot I think. Your list may have been a bit ambitiousFinally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Yeah I think it may have been a little ambitious. I was extremely annoyed with myself this morning that I couldn't cycle in as this would have saved me around £4.50 in fuel and parking.
Oh on the plus side my total extra income is now up to £57.10 for the month so far after a couple more eBay sales and my refund coming through with £21 to add as soon as the pending money has cleared through PA.Change the way you see things and the things you see will change0
