• Review submission (work) - half done - will finish tomorrow
• [STRIKE]Case study (work)[/STRIKE] DONE
• [STRIKE]Print more flyers for workshop - next thing to do then tea[/STRIKE] DONE - and got 3 more paying customers for workshop :T
• [STRIKE]Check paddypower thing bonus credited and WR to do[/STRIKE] DONE - £8.01 up

• [STRIKE]Washing load x2 done[/STRIKE] DONE
• [STRIKE]Create monthly budget spreadsheet[/STRIKE] DONE - all set for pay day on Friday.

Also signed up on the Eur*bet offer for £75 SR - just need some good matches for that now to convert into a decent profit - and realised my BGB*t qualifier was useless as they are the same outfit as BetterB*t - and I have an account with them already! Duh!

Oh dear .... a life reduced to lists! Still seems to do the trick where my organiser telling me everything is overdue fails!

Today is full of meetings so not much chance to do any other work at work if you see what I mean but OH is away for 3 days so will have lots of time outside work and will need to entertain myself! And over the next few days I want to be sure that I am all ready to really start with the new budget and overpayment regime from payday on Friday. Have spreadsheet all ready - need to make sure transfer account is ready and then make sure snowball is accurate. Am hoping my BT forms come through from BC in time so that I can get that sorted as well. From June the plan is to pay off £1425 a month!!

Anyway back to targets for today:

• Take all the invoices from yesterday to finance
• Meetings, meetings, meetings (10-4)
• Do plan for weekend workshop
• Prepare handout for weekend workshop
• Finish review from yesterday
• Do second review
• Find a close match on Eur*bet
• Sort out internet access to our (currently empty) offset account (going to use for "annual" costs and emergency fund)
• List some stuff on eBay using free gallery

Think that should be enough along with usual daily chores and MSE fixes! Wouldn't want to overplan..... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Mizmir! I'm very impressed by the lists. Is it a free gallery listing day for ebay? I've rather given up on ebay but have a few things that could go up if so.

I am impressed with all the planning, and not least the Mbing! I really should be getting my skates on instead, i have read your diary, how's that for procrastination? OOps long word for early morning! Will enjoy following your progress, i too have the same thoughts about overpaying and reducing debt, and have been using the snowball..even Mr.B is getting into the swing of stuff, how dare he knick computer to follow diaries ( he is a secret linda and Hypno fan) Although he hasn't signed up yet. Good job i am upfront about stuff with him! Now he will be on here.
keep up the lists good work, BOB X

Free gallery all through the summer! Time to get that stuff up.

Sounds like you are doing well mizmir! I managed to get the form filled out and lots of hugs for Dr Dragon and that was it yesterday. Today started with a vigorous game of scrabble and a late get up! Today we are heading out to explore another part of Cambridge and I want to clear the sofa!

Morning Mizmir ..I've got to admire the amount of stuff you have on your list and that you manage to complete them!!!...

mizmir

Thanks guys - I'm just impressed that you keep coming back (and very grateful as I'd get lonely otherwise!)...

The incentive to do the stuff is posting the list here and setting the challenge. OH reckons I am very competitive - can compete with myself here!

So today how are things going?

• [STRIKE]Take all the invoices from yesterday to finance[/STRIKE] DONE - relief - as someone else's pay depends on it.
• [STRIKE]Meetings, meetings, meetings (10-4)[/STRIKE] DONE - and very productive and enjoyable for once!
• [STRIKE]Do plan for weekend workshop[/STRIKE] DONE - well roughed it out anyway - will tidy it up when I put the handout together.
• Prepare handout for weekend workshop
• Finish review from yesterday
• Do second review
• Find a close match on Eur*bet - Next job - see if there is anything close on the footie tonight before I take the dogs out.
• Sort out internet access to our (currently empty) offset account (going to use for "annual" costs and emergency fund)
• List some stuff on eBay using free gallery

Not going badly - expected most of this to be this evening. Hope all your days have gone well. Talk later.

You seem to be doing pretty well so far with the lists - and I am sure that the £1450 pay off is doable too. Does that include interest, or is it just capital?
