Hi,

New diary time for me!

My 2020 goals are;

• Stay debt free
• Save £10,000.00
• Get to goal weight of 10st
• Get rid of 60 things I don't need
• Use up the stationary and toiletry stash
• Buy all Birthday and Christmas gifts in the sales
• Keep a spending diary
• £1,000 on surveys
• Only shop to replace items I use
• Keep this diary up to date

[STRIKE]* Clear out Mum's partners letters (he passed away in December)

3 things done already this morning;

* Glasgow Credit Union will be best for her, just need to get her to set up the account now
* Firstbus added an extra day to my current annual pass, bus driver should have accepted the displayed version if the machine wasn't working properly
* Emails cleared out, most of it surveys that I had missed over the festive period - oops!

Another 3 thinks ticked off the list;

* Letters all checked and sent to the shredder in work
* Contacted Virgin and TV licencing for him
* Checked my CC balance, £134.99 - God knows how its this high already!

Also NOW TV charged me £8.99 for the Entertainment pass so my current deal must be up, went online to cancel and the offered me £1.60 for the next 3 months.

Will put a note in my diary to go through the cancellation again in April so that I am not paying full price in May.

Also just remembered why my CC is so high, £50 petrol and £50 for an upgrade to my Amazon Firestick.

What's your opinion on your Amazon Fire stick? I'm debating getting one but not sure whether it's worth it!

I love it, wish I had got one years ago.

I have Amazon Prime which I use when I'm travelling to and from work for music, I use the delivery all the time and the photo storage.
