Not sure why I am smiling actually as I have a sore throat and it is 5.30am when I should be tucked up in bed! Instead, I had to let the cat out and while I was up decided to have some ibuprofen, gargle with salt water and make a cuppa. Might make another in a minute...
I can't believe it has been 5 weeks since I started writing this blog. I was so full of good intentions to keep it up! I have been thinking about new years resolutions (quite a few money saving) so here goes.
1. Get on top of the grocery spend - budget for January is £300 and I have signed up to the grocery challenge on the MSE forum to keep me on track.
2. Try to write this blog at least once per week.
3. Do the things I keep putting off - stop procrastinating!
4. List stuff on ebay every week and work on decluttering our house.
5. Work on paying extra off the mortgage.
6. Don't buy any toiletries unless I need them.
7. Don't buy any clothes unless I need them.
8. Have an alcohol free month - starts Monday 3rd January.
9. See a friend at least once a month.
10. Don't waste food and recycle better.
11. Realise that housework done badly still blesses my home (including stop getting onto Jez when he doesn't do things like I would) and generally work on my flylady routines!
12. Grow more veg in pots this year.
13. Bake at least once per fortnight (weekly might be to hard to stick to).
14. Loose 2 stone.
15. Get a bit fitter!
16. Meal plan more.
17. Keep a spending diary.
18.Read and release some books (at least 1 per month).
19. Always have a to do list.
20.Work on saving electricity and water.
21. Boycott Nestle (apart from the Go Cat - I will try other brands but so far they won't eat anything else, and mum's Nescafe)
There, that will do for starters!
