To sell at least £50 of stuff on ebay
to buy my car insurance via Quidco
To do ALL overtime on offer in work
to use less gas and electric
to do more set meals
to keep spending chart updated daily
Sort out nursery for DS2
to join the make £10 a day challenge for March (if there is one - i haven't checked yet)
and ones that aren't so DFW....
tidy house more
spend more time with my 2 boys
