spending fast...........

January 4th, 2006 at 03:27 pm

No, not spending rapidly, but taking a fast from spending. My usual way to get over the commercialism from the Christmas advertising blitz the last quarter of the year.
I enjoy seeing how much I really don't need...........as well as cleaning out the pantry & freezer to feed us throughout the month. Keeps me from going into hoard mode too.
So far, doing OK................I always pay the usual household expenses like utilities, etc. I've got a remodel starting soon here & I predict I will have one check going out to begin that project...........and I'm going to do that one. If not, the whole project will be put off for another month. I'm not willing to do that..............this is my bathtub we're talking about!!! How I bought a house without a bathtub is beyond me!

Using the wood stove insert...........miss my old one. These clean air requirements make for a stove that doesn't work very well in my opinion. We are managing to keep the house toasty however. It does help that we're at 46 degrees again today!! Can't imagine we're "done" with winter...........but maybe!!! That would be nice...............a real money saver!

I am anxious to order my seeds & for the first time get some of them started indoors. I took off the blinds from the warmest window we've got...........& will bring a table in to set up my plant nursery on. With luck, I'll have my own tomato plants in addition to any other starts I can convince to grow. The veggie garden is "cooking" away under black plastic..............with a layer of compost & lime. This warm weather should just be perfect...........I can almost hear the dirt getting enriched!!!

Off for the day.................enjoying reading other journals, giving me more of a push to be diligent re; the finances here.
