    I;m going to have a go (no guarantees though) -starting next week I'll deal with any correspondence on the day it arrives and not let it sit there till the letter rack is falling over with it and I can't find stuff.

    Sweet potatoes are though! And being orange they certainly add colour to the plate!

    yes AND they are delicious...... shame they are so expensive, though. not quite as affordable as the humble spud.

    great idea, been thinking of doing something similar myself, over on DFW board, trying to get myself set up for some big challenges of pulling in more income and being stricter with cash to get debts paid!

    Can do my house type challenges here!

    This week its to get sorting out stuff for ebay! - Ive loads of stuff sitting about that needs put on ebay and get rid of clutter - so my challenge this week is to find 25 items that I will list on ebay by sunday! Involves clearing out shoes/bags/jackets/books etc! Will report on progress....

  • Hello...

    Hope noone minds if I join in?
    This is my first post on this board, and I'm just finding my way around!
    My make a change contribution will be to cook dinner for me and hubby every night for the next week and not relent and order a takeaway because I'm too tired and/or lazy!

    We've got plenty of food in, its much better for us, and it will save us money!

    Note : About the sweet potato (my absolute favorite) are on buy one get one free at Tesco right now (well they were when I did my order which came yesterday)... its the 1kg bags, at £1.89 each I think....

    If you manage that one mary I shall be the first one to congratulate you:D - as you'll be doing better than me there. I know my "achilles heel" on the organisational front when I see it!;)

    OK I've decided what my change this week will be. And I can do it without waiting till I move house!!!

    From now on, I will NOT let carrier/other plastic bags lying around the house. They will be dealt with IMMEDIATELY. Oh my, I sound like a schoolmaster :p
