For May:

• Over pay my bank loan, fingers crossed I may be able to pay it off but not getting my hopes up!
• Open a high interest account and start saving up to pay a large interest free debt.
• Will do the grocery, ebay and £10 a day challenges again.
• Keep my spreadsheet up to date.
• Get my pigsback points high enough to get a voucher - 730 as of today.
• Post on the small DFW thread every day.

Will add more if any come to mind!

Fantastic thread! Ok, here's my extremely long list of things that I want to do in May - many of them are things that I have been trying to get done throughout April unsuccessfully:

Money

Do ALL surveys except the really poor or prize draw ones - All my surveys are either poor or prize draw :rotfl:
Be brass-necked enough to hand as many coupons as poss when shopping


Home

Find ironing lady and gardener (sorry folks, it just won't get done otherwise!) Try advertising at a local college for someone to help you over the summer. There may be some poor student looking for some easy money

Family/Friends
Spend less time on here (:eek:) and more playing with DS (Not the Nintendo one!)
Try and find babysitter so DH & I can get a night to ourselves, even just for a couple of hours. Ourr local council have a babysitting service for people who have no family to fall back on. I'm not sure of the cost but i think it is pretty cheap. They will sit with the kids till 10pm - or maybe the poor student could do that too:rotfl:

Health

Lose half a stone this month. But need to get weighed first to see start weight!
NOT visit McDs more than once a week, however convenient it is! Keep all your reciepts to show how much they add up - that should be enough to keep you away
Try to cook a proper meal at least every other day
Find slow cooker and use at least once a week Try freecycle - I got a breadmaker last week:T

God you're going to be busy this month - so busy you might miss the sun if it pops out for 5 mins.

I kept all my reciepts for this last month and added them up today. I spent £165 in wee 2 minute trips to the Sommerfield at the end of my street :eek: .

in May (and early June) i plan to
pay off my car loan sitting at 3.6k

im kinda cheating tho, the company i work for gives us free shares and also theres a save as you earn plan, the company has been taken over so all the money is being paid out in may/june
whatevers left from the shares goes towards the credit card

Hiya everyone :j

This month I intend to:

• Bring in lunches to work, and have NSDs during the week.
• Work doubly hard to do overtime
• Have at least £100 left at the end of May to put towards debts
• Only spend my £20 a week pocket money i give myself, once thats gone i can't spend any money
• Try and find a Saturday job

That lot should keep me going...

:beer: heres to a great May for everyone!

This month, I really must:-
- have a big clear out and sort piles for eBay, FreeCycle and bin
- put everything possible on eBay
- eat up everything from the freezer and cupboards in order to put off the big food shop for hopefully another week
- research best slow cooker and buy it!
- enter more cash prize comps

Overdraft never seems to go down and I really want rid of it (and more room in the house once I get rid of all the [strike]junk [/strike]treasure!). On the bright side, this is the irst month of the year so far that we haven't had any birthdays or anniversaries to buy for!
