    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!!!!

    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.

    My aim for Feb is to try and get my bank in credit for the first time in years! It will be hard but will give it a go.I'm hoping it will spur me on to clear the rest of my debts.
    :)Do more of what makes you happy:)
