This is it - the start of my year to make a change. 21st April 2012.
Before I elaborate on the changes, here is a little bit about me and why it might be interesting to follow my quest!
I’m Toria and I am a Mum to 2 fantastic boys, Tom (12) and Adam (4). I live a little but lovely life. I have a wonderful family, fantastic friends and a job that I really don’t mind getting up for in a morning. I have and always will believe in the fairy tale and that a little bit of Disney Magic goes a long way. I am on an an eternal quest to be organised and i think that when domestic skills were being handed out, I may have been day dreaming in another queue, so I’m always on the look out for tips, tricks and hints to help me out!
I woke up this morning and decided this was it - the day I put the marker in the sand and started to make some changes. Over the next 12 months I have two huge scary goals that I have set myself.
Quest 1) A little less rounding please : Lose 40lbs in 12 months.
After Adjy was born I managed to lose all the baby weight, but as time as passed, it seems to have sneaked it’s way back on so today i prepare the fight back. 40lbs - 12 months. Here goes everything!
Quest 2) More Money than Month - Save £10k through additional income / Smart Living
Every month there is more month than money and my knight in shining armour (Mr Visa) races to the rescue. I’ve set myself the challenge of seeing if it is possible to generate an additional income stream and live smarter to raise £10k. In these challenging times of debt and recession, this seems akin to me climbing Mount Everest but I need to shoot for the sky on this one .
So this is my beginning - my once upon a time. As I start my quests, I don’t yet know what the chapters of my story will be but I do know I am aiming for Happily Ever After.
