Goals for w/c 18th April 2006

Last week:

*Contact Glamour re: cancelling magazine subscription - nope
*Keep the spending diary going - kinda...
*Collect another 2 x £2 to take my total to £148 - done!
*Use the cinema card and go at least once this week - not done!
*Get the car MOTeeeeeeeed - nope!
*Pay cheque into bank - done!
*Do balance tranfer on to new Egg card card & reduce balance on Tesco credit card - did it yesterday, should be processed within next 7 days
*Spend 15 mins per day doing housework and not a minute longer! - kinda, didn't do 15 mins every day, but did an average over the week!

All in all, a pretty bad week but I reckon that was because I was off work for most of the week!

And so for next week:

*keep the spending diary going
*collect another 2 x £2 coins to take my total to £158
*get the car MOTeeeeeed!
*spring clean my bedroom on Monday
*get rid of the box of junk in the utility room (dump I think!)
*deal with any letters as and when regarding reclaiming bank charges

Forgot to post my goals for this week:

1) No shop bought lunches for work - all home made
2) Pay £100 off HSBC CC - would normally be more, but I need to leave money in account to pay for hols will pay more next month
3) Send off DD for HSBC CC to cover minimum payments - won't be only paying this.......just to make sure the min is paid incase I'm ever late with the monthly payment (also, already sent one DD mandate on 13/3 which they received and never acted upon...........is this one of their tactics?)
4) Sort mum out with her money for next 4 weeks (I'm her appointee)
5) Sort out DD to cover mum's insurance - only had the form since January

Can't think of any others at the mo

Is that the same as a sigmoidoscopy (camera up the jacksey to be blunt)? If so, I had one of those about 2.5 years ago......interesting..

LOL, yes they're going to take pretty pictures of my botty!! Apparently a colonoscopy goes further inside than a sigmoidoscopy and is therefore more 'uncomfortable'...deep joy :rolleyes:

Hi all - my week got poleaxed towards the start with a run of bad headaches, which has scuppered several goals <sigh>

Goals for this week: (w/c 9/4/06)
1. 2 no-spend days - 3!!
2. Update accounts spreadsheet - Achieved. Very interesting to do as it was a strange pay period that took in two end of months and the cost of spending a bonus received in a previous period - so it looks horrendous but all pans out in the big picture on the spreadsheet.
3. Tidy desk + declutter - no, a knock-on from the headaches. All my productive time is Mon-Fri and I lost the front half of the week and Fri this week, so just haven't had time for a big sorting out.
4. Use Serena's flapjack recipe and if they turn out okay take to Playgroup event - Nope. Again, no chance to do this for its intended Tuesday morning timescale.
5. Do groundwork for building website for Playgroup - event too busy to chat to the person concerned and I worked flat out anyway.
6. Regularise meals and cut portion sizes - questionable whether I've done anything about the former but the latter is going well.
7. Go to the Farmer's Market early - Nope, I *might* have made this on a 'normal' day, but with OH home (Good Fri) then it felt like a Sat instead, not least because the alarm was no longer for 6am...

Sorry about all the excuses

Goals for this week (w/c 16/4/06)
1. Two no spend days
2. Transfer money from Halifax
3. Drink a glass of water every time I touch the water filter ie fill kettle or saucepan!
4. Spend as little on food as possible
5. Sort something... desk, filing, clothes, whatever!
6. Keep on-the-spot spending diary up to date
7. Get off the bus a stop earlier

Last week:

1) - List box of books on Amazon. No, this is the third week running I haven't done this! If I don't do it this week, then I will take the entire box of books to the charity shop and therefore lose out on potential earnings for the wedding fund!
2) - Five no spend days, food shopping for the week has already been done and I can't think of anything else I need to buy. Think I managed this, the only money I remember spending was a fiver in the pub on Wednesday!?
3) - Have meeting with Mum as we are going into partnership with a business idea. Need to decide on a logo and which stock to buy first. Half done, we have decided which stock to buy, but no closer to deciding on/designing a logo.
4) - Continue with healthy eating and aim for 3 exercise sessions of at least 30 minutes each this week. Stuck to healthy eating about 75% of the time and went on two walks.

This weeks goals...

1) - Find somewhere to go for my birthday day out on Saturday that's fairly cheap and fairly close. Take a picnic to keep food costs down.
2) - Save all spare change towards above day out.
3) - Go to library.
4) - List those bl***y books on Amazon or they go to the charity shop on 24th April!
5) - Order stock for business.
6) - Continue with healthy eating and aim for three exercise sessions of 30 minutes each.
