Randomly generated list to aid my extreme procrastination. Okay, self improvements I've made over the past couple of years:
- Self-esteem: I used to have shocking self-esteem and in some ways I still do, but thanks to my boyfriend, my self-esteem has grown in leaps and bounds. There's still parts of me that I would love to change and quite frankly I don't see what he sees in me, but I do feel 10x more comfortable about myself than I did a few years ago.
- Cooking: As mentioned in another list, this year I learned how to cook properly! When I lived at home I could make a few simple things but when I moved out it was quite a while before I could put a meal together without either burning, dropping, or full out destroying something. I thought I'd never pick up, but I've learned - I mean I'm not going to win any best chef prizes ...

Budget:
- Have a weekly budget that you stick to.
- Write down a list of everything that you buy for a month. It'll highlight where you can afford to cut back if you're trying to save a few extra pennies.
Food Shopping:
- Always write a list of the things you need so that you don't forget anything, and avoid shopping when you're hungry.
- Don't buy something just because it's on offer. If you don't need it, you're still wasting money.
- Know where to cut back
- Often the 'value' or the supermarket's own products are just as good as the more expensive stuff. For example, value bleach will do exactly the same job as branded, as will things like flour, oats etc. Whe...
