Positive thinking for June - what are you going to do?

Nicki_Sue

Oh fab-
Kep up with my daily challenge (£10-a-day in Jun),
Find new weekly menu plans,
Carboot, Ebay, Amazon sales
Quidco
Pay off £90 I owe BT (because they are idiots)
Work to increase my extra income(s-employed) which should give me enough to go on a dmp (Already up to £124 extra income last month)

Hypno this is a brilliant idea.

I give myself daily and monthly goals and rarely stay focussed as I am not accountable to anybody. This thread should keep me on track.

In June I am aiming to:

- Find a permanent job or start temping from 1 July
- Keep a daily spending diary
- Take cash out once a week
- Have 15 NSD (here's hoping!)
- Spend 2 hours three times a week sorting through boxes in Storage (it's costing me too much!) in order to eventually clear it all out!
- Clear outstanding paperwork
- Sort out clothes for charity
- Complete 4 lessons of my home study course
- Look into reclaiming charges

Good luck everyone.

I've crossed through all of the ones I've started

Fab thread, and I'd like to join please, although obviously a couple of days late .

So for June I will:

• Keep the house tidy, and on top of washing and ironing. I spent ages cleaning at the weekend and house looks great so I really want to keep it that way.
• Make £100 on eBay, which I will pay off my credit card- £14.43 so far:rolleyes:
• Meal plan and write a shopping list.
• Eat at least one freezer meal per week (I have plenty in there).
• Have at least two NSDs per week.
• Give blood (not really DFW except the free coffee and biscuits, but I must get round to it).

That's probably enough for me, especially as June only has 30 days :rotfl: .

Good luck everyone, I'll report back to update my progress.

I have just eaten half a box of mint poppets so point three will have to wait until the 3rd of June! :rotfl:

oooh got-it-spend-it , I really recommend giving blood, apart from free tea & biccies, you also get to lie down for half an hour which is fab at about 4 in the afternoon & you get a sticker saying "be nice to me, I just gave blood". I wear mine till it stops being sticky !!

to
1) Pay an extra £100 into my OD - £22 in coins & Amazon paying £6.80, so far;
2) Be good & take lunches for 7 days into my jobs;
3) Be harsh & say NO to DS, when I have too - I`m such a softy!
4) Eat food we already have - don`t do takeaways!
5) Get into loft & Amazon the books & stuff that gather dust & make my ceilings bulge!
6) Get DS lego into the vastly expensive shed at the bottom of the garden(his workroom;)
7) See if I can get rampant weeds out of back garden & grass back in!!!

Keep cycling to work. It's only day two and it's killing me.
Blitz every room in the house. Throw out stuff, sell or recycle.
Carry on decorating my house.
Sell stuff on ebay every week.
STOP PROCRASTINATING. :mad:

Good thread indeed :T

I'm going to...
- try to get to payday (23rd) with at least £200 left in the bank to go towards my holiday
- buy anything I need for said holiday using vouchers earned from surveys
- do the Moonwalk 26 mile walk (in ten days time, eek), try to raise £200 sponsorship (got about £85 at the moment I think)
- apply for any jobs I see that I want to go for and not chicken out at the last minute
- take lunch to work at least 4 days a week
- not go over my grocery budget
- keep my veg garden tidy and as free of snails as possible :rotfl:
