    Not today (snack attack and groceries), but from now on I am making a conscious effort to be more mindful with food choices as I am going to go on a diet soon! I don't want to but defientely need to and it is about time I changed what I eat significantly! That is probably more info then you wanted!
    Goal 1: Get a permenant job that sticks.
    Goal 2: Aim 15 No spend days in January or above actual so far - 6/15
    Goal 3: Get a lodger
    Goal 4: Once goal 1 & 3 complete add 2.3K to the EF
    Goal 5: Once goal 4 complete save for my own car as I do need one? Do I?
