Hiya folks
My main aims for february are:
buy groceries for less that £200 for the month (to include breakfasts, packed lunches for work and evening meals).
put aside as much as possible for our holiday in March
pay 50% of any overtime OH earns to debts (the remainder to mortgage offset account)
Good luck everyone.

My aim for feb is to keep the grocery shopping down as much as possible. I have joined the grocery challange for February to help keep me motivated.
I want to try and pay extra on my credit card this month but i am not sure how possible this will be as things are a little tight, still recovering after christmas.
I want to start going swimming again. Its my Birthday a week on Tuesday and I have asked for a swimming costume, so once I get this I have no excuse not to go.
Also want to start walking once the weather allows. We have moved to a lovely place and i want to take full advantage of our surrounding, the canal walks are lovely!
I want to keep general spending down - wish me luck!!!!March 2006 £15,200+ in debt April £843.64 in debt - Debt Free date Sept 2009

Great thread
My aims this month are:
- pay half council tax money off cc, other half pay for car MOT
- car to pass MOT no problems (realise I cant make this happen but i can hope, shouldn't have much wrong)
- bake dd birthday cake (did a practise one last week and was lovely)
- list more stuff on ebay, especially my pre children clothes they really are never gonna fit again and if they do I'll be far too old for the styles.
- make the most of local activities so no driving to other areas of the county and less petrol spent.
- swap restaurant on valentines (therefore no babysitter) for chinese at home when the kids are in bed.0 -
