Like so many of you, getting organized is tops on my list. I used to manage a fabric store. I have sooo much fabric and of course so much of it is not something I can use now. son is almost 21, not 10! Some will go to my sister-in-law, but lots will be doled out to the different groups in town that can use it. Plus, back to sewing! Been a long time, used to make everything. And, de-clutter! I am a pack rat and have to learn to let go.
Did pretty good on the savings end last year, will try to double that this year. Never spend my change anyway and it adds up quickly. Back to saving dollar bills along with change.
Pay down cards, and control utilites. The electric went down 20.00 /month on budget, no complaints there. Just have to get the gas down. It's all the surcharges that are killing the bill, not the usage. Oh well, keep trying though. Doesn't help that we are having a back and forth winter, one minute wind chills to -33 and then the temp soars back to 45 degrees and rain.
My husband brings a lot of contraband food into the house, my goal is to stop him so he won't keep sabatoging his weight loss. I can take it our leave it, no temptation on my part.
Have a wonderful New Year and Good Luck with your resolutions!
