What Do You Want to Achieve in the Next 3 Months?

[Countrymadegirl]

By the end of January I want to have made a decision with my husband about where we want to live; Exeter, or stay in the countryside...

Made exercise a part of my daily life again

Hit 1000 followers on my Instagram (connected to blog)

Hit 500 followers on my Twitter (connected to blog)

Started monetising my new blog

Reached 50 posts on my new blog

Have earned £1000 from working from home (£62.79 so far!)

What do you hope to have achieved in 3 months time?

Haha! And there I was just assuming I would survive Christmas! But you know what they say about people that assume!

Yeah Christmas is just ugggh, with all the cost and the amount of travel we have to do (We live in Leeds and have family in Norwich, Bristol and Cheltenham) so everyone we see is at opposite ends of the country!

Another thing I want to do just after Christmas is buy our flights for Florida next year. Everything else on the holiday is sorted but I'm just hoping for a nice Virgin Atlantic sale after Christmas so I can get them at a price I'm happy with!

It's a shame you can't write the petrol costs off as a business expense! I don't envy you that!

That reminds me, another thing I wanted to have started the process for is getting a passport!

I think this is a good way to focus, having targets to hit, a clearly defined goal to work towards, whether it's the purchase of something, or hitting a follower count! I'm hoping it will keep me focused! I'm excited to see what you accomplish!

As we'll be in 2019.

1) Add the media kit to my blog
2) Consider taking sponsored posts
3) Buy new car
4) profit?

Sooooooooon

Now I want to know even more!!!!!!!!!

Yes, hopefully will keep me focused. I do have a tendency to go off on a tangent at times........

Finally get my new car. Dacia ordered on 24th July and still getting excuses. First it was that it had arrived but the electrics needed checking. Now it needs new air bags. How can a new car leave the factory with faults?

Oooo! Which one are you getting?

The Sandero - I like the Duster but that was bigger than I needed.

You are more than likely being fed some BS there

Guy I at work bought a brand new peugeut 7 seater car and within a few weeks the dealer was ringing him up offering him more money than they paid to sell the car back to them as they were in short supply and needed as many as they could get their hands on!!

The car buying world has some right shady practices going on under the hood!

cheap motoring and warranty for the win!

Hope you get yours soon.

It sounds like they have sold your car to someone else and are waiting for the next one to arrive to give to you, either that or someone is driving around in your new car!

I've had a letter from the manufacturer saying that they have instructed the dealers not to release the car. The dealer has said they can get a different coloured one from the North East that is not from the problem batch but I chose the one I wanted and paid extra for the colour.

I am not sure how that benefits them. They may sell the car again - pre registered/second hand this time so they will not get as much, and they have lost money on the first sale

hmmm goals for the next three months is a great topic! Mine are:

- pay off my tax bill
- save up at least £150 towards an emergency fund
- make £250 extra from side hustles
- be ruthless in sticking to my budget

very simple I know but that's about all I can cope with at the moment lol!
