There are loads of people more organised than me..........

benben for starters - no one is as organised as she is, I am sure!!!

If only you saw the state of my house, you would be saying very very different things :rotfl:

I think the only way I can claim to being organised is that somehow, those things that really "need" doing, get done.....somehow.....more or less!!!!

Hmm - not sure I know benben! and I am sure you will get there with the house after all you are getting there with the finances after all!

Hi Mizmir and all..I agree with the other about how organised you are.RE the ISAs one each as you can both put £3600 a year in each.You are doing fantastically with your plans.Well done!!

mizmir

We need to meet Benben - who is Benben??

Just back from sorting the garage out. Will do an update on the list in a moment but I have a collie at my elbow panicking because his tea is late! (OH forgot to feed him once and he has never forgotten!! :rotfl::rotfl:)

Will look into an ISA each then - though I don't think we'll be getting near £7200! If we were up to that level we'd be paying it off the debts! Nearer to £2500 before next April - unless we have windfalls or we have nothing but debt that is lower than 6% left!

No-one is as organised as Hypno as you said - but you are running a close 2nd!

Hmm could your OH not get rid of the biccies for you?!:rotfl:

Not sure she'd thank me for that - she is desperate to lose some weight too! :rotfl:
Moderation is what I am thinking. Keep the chocolate ones for packed lunches and restrict myself to one at a time of the others...?? It could work.....???! :rotfl::rotfl:

how can anyone possibly restrict themselves to just one chocolate biscuit..............

Getting out of debt is simple compared with leaving a chocolate biscuit in the packet.

Quick update.

• [STRIKE]Clear out garage - sort things to bring home, things for tip, things for car boot, freecycle[/STRIKE] DONE - car full of stuff - most will stay heere but a few things that could be sold. Trip to the tip with the rest tomorrow if it's open.
• [STRIKE]Read through some stuff on business planning OH has dug out for me - need to plan for the development of dog training business (contributes to Plans 1&2).[/STRIKE] DONE - really useful - now have to add do a business plan to my list sometime soon.
• [STRIKE]Order dog food (get month supply at a time)[/STRIKE] DONE
• Work out menu plans for the week and shopping list. (contributes to Plan 3)
• Do online shop
• [STRIKE]Matched betting - try to progress Euro DONE[/STRIKE]
• Do a decent dog walk (Contributes to Plan 4) - still to do - have been hoping the wind will die down or we'll be blown away! But will have to go in the next hour or so.
• [STRIKE]Set up instant access cash ISA to take the emergency fund/annual costs budget [/STRIKE] DONE - gone for A&L - not the absolute top payer but 6% and convenient as all online and am with A&L for banking.

So a little relax and catch up on here then menu planning time!
