    Have been doing well this week
    Walked to work 2 days and have done my runclub run....
    Have emailed one of my outstanding debts to get confirmation of balance and then will pay it off.
    Still need to phone uni..:eek: just a bit confused about whether I am taking the right route and have had so much conflicting advice!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    My week two is still going well, my house looks lovely, although I need to do out cupboards & get rid of unwanted stuff, but it's on my to-do list, routine is working like a dream, Kids are loving it they always liked it before.

    I will keep popping in trying to get very organised; housework, routine, finances & free time etc

    I must get a either a diary / calendar for next year have dentist appointment for next March already to add, had to put a reminder on the Sunday before on my calendar on my computer for now.

    Anyway hope everyone else is doing well

    :hello: hi everyone!

    Well done to everybody for trying so hard and getting so much motivation from the thread!

    My original list has kinda gone byebye - what with a wedding to organise, me being nearly two dress sizes too big for my dress :eek: and the dog/cat bringing fleas into the house (aka reception venue :eek:)!!!

    Just wanted to say good luck to everyone this week, although I think I'm going to give up this week and start again from next monday!! :rotfl:

    Definitely staying in bed until payday......as if i'll be allowed lol :rolleyes:
