Why even when the new year started last Wednesday do I feel like it is starting today? Because all things start on Monday. I had three of my four girls on Monday, or should I say Momday.....
Anyway, I digress, so far, I have not spent money 4 of the 6 days of this New Year. I think that is great. Although I wasn't one to spend every day either. So that part of my life has not changed much. I really stopped the Mcd's diet coke thing when they raised soda to $2.00 here. I still go but only when I am going out of town for a long drive. I just can't seem to make myself pay that. It will affect the coin savings, but oh well.
I have been going through things in the house and putting things on face book marketplace. This last 5 days I have made over $200.00 with just things that I did not use, that I needed to get rid of. I also went down to the dreaded shed that is the size of a small garage and perused the place. It is full of Hub's equipment, and it is time to let it go! So, I will keep listing things and cleaning out and adding to my cash box. Every Friday all monies saved will go to the bank to a specific account for future to do's.
Sissie is still cooking like a crazed woman. She made several pans of cabbage roll this weekend. She used things in the freezers. We have to eat down these freezers. Kelsa and I also made cinnamon rolls. She had her own little pan and rolling pin. She was so proud, and her brother and mom raved about how good they were. It was so cute.
I have a busy sewing day ahead of me if I can just get my but in the shop. I have to finish a wedding dress today. Then onto the piles and there are a few piles. I am blessed with work.
I am going to have to light a fire under my son in law and brother-in-law to get shelves put up in garage. I don't feel like I can put Christmas away until this is done. But oh well I have better things to worry about. Like Kim gained 5 lbs over the Holiday and now she must be good. I hate being good. Someone give me a caramel.
Time to get to work, what are you plans for the day or week?
God is good

With two weeks of holidays it has been difficult to remember what day it is. Today was a snow day so I'm still going to be confused most of the week.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for setting a limit on the Diet Coke habit. I also think $2 is too much. In my area they added a $1.34 beverage if you order from the app. That ended at the end of September though, and I really don't need Dr. P that much.
ReplyDeleteI am also going through my house decluttering, some will go on Ebay, some on Marketplace or one of my FB groups and the rest just needs to go.
You are doing well with the sales on facebook marketplace Kim - good on you. I hate being good too & I am sure I have put on weight over the festive season although I no longer keep scales in the house as they never ever tell me what I want to hear!!! So I threw them out!!!
ReplyDeleteGood going on the sale of things. Wendy's has .99 all size drinks here now. No other purchase needed. I still haven't spent any money - doing good. Very snowy here today! ICK
ReplyDeleteI wish you had gotten a picture of Kelsa cooking. You do so much!
ReplyDelete$200 on FB Marketeplace is a great start to decluttering!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you & am also working on decluttering. I'm always inspired to do more of it at the beginning of the year. I'm working on a January side hustle, and I'm over $400, which is nice to see. I'm also trying to cut back on unnecessary trips to the store & the like. (Hawaii Planner)
ReplyDeleteWe are mostly staying in: not much snow but cold cold temps. Decluttering MORE is high on the list...as I remind friends, Goodwill exists for a reason!
