    • Keep up with inbox and computer desk; not doing too badly
    • Do a load of washing each night. My next job, before going to bed
    • Get kids and OH to help with one housework type job each evening they have hardly been home, so will keep working on this one :rolleyes:

    Update from me. My first 2 were

    Paid to clicks -- keeping up most weeks
    Empty dishwasher as soon as it's finished - only time it waits is when I put it on just before bed.

    So far so good so this weeks is

    Make time to do at least half an hour exercise each day - so far been out 2 days in a row on my bike, which I haven't used for about 10 years, hurts like crazy but sure it'll get easier
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hello everybody! :hello: -I'm BACK!

    Had lots of problems getting my internet back on after moving house, and they were ALL Virgin Media's fault!!! But now I'm here :D

    Scatty asked me to tell you guys she won't be around for a few days. She's got exams and is very busy studying.

    Even though I haven't been able to read the thread properly, I can see you guys are making A LOT of progress, I'm so glad!

    My change this week is to treat jobhunting as an actual job, so I'm on my "lunch break" now :P -Haven't received many offers yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Hope everyone's alright, it's so nice to be back!

    ok, my challanges so far have been,

    1) keep a spending diary - which has been goino ok (but last night i discovered that i'd lost the book so will have to look for that tonight...)
    2) 30 mins of housework a night - well that isn'y going too well although i do have a really clean kitchen now (just a messy everything else!!!!)

    so challange 3 will be to list 5 things a week on ebay or amazon...

    good luck to everyone.

    :) xxxx

    So far, so good this week - I'm taking my lunch into work and eating it. Even managed to resist my favourite macaroni cheese which was on the menu at school today! Mind, it feels a really long week already!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    Get up earlier to do housework

    OH is better now and preped the lunch while I attempted to make bread....its in the oven at the mo so hoping that it will be OK!!
