    Today I will clear the worktops and move the microwave so there is space for my breadmaker and attempt to make my first BM loaf
    Continue to put all spare change under £1 in a sealed tin (filling up so fast that I can't do the year challenge-but that's OK we have a big holiday planned for July so it will be added to that pot)
    Clear paperwork-an ongoing mission
    Cook proper roast dinner as we've been grazing rather than eating since Christmas

    Today I will

    - Tidy and clean house ready for tomorrow night instead of looking at online sales.

    - Meal plan for the week before I go food shopping tomorrow so I dont overspend.

    - January budget

    - Get up to date on paperwork and update poor neglected snowball.

    Good luck with your first loaf. I love my breadmaker, so much nicer than shop bought bread.
