I’ve been so crazy busy that I completely spaced catching up on here!
DH lost one job last month, and we’ve been going constantly since. He was working 2 full time jobs for 2 years, so the house projects went to the back burner. Now we’ve caught up on a bunch of stuff and we’re both getting back into better shape, since we have time to do it together now.
Last week, we sold a car, truck, dirt bike, and some random clutter around the house. That has helped us pay down a debt and take a payment off of our monthly budget. We’ve meal planned for the month using Daisy’s Flat Broke cookbook. We were able to put in raised garden beds, which we bought before the job loss but it’s bwen too cold to put them in. We have one filled up with dirt and one that’s getting filled up this week. I bought seeds and get to plant this week. We hung up an indoor cloths line to save on bills, and we will hang up an outdoor one this week.
I’m continuing to find projects to save money and make use of what we have. We have 3 (!) kitchen tables in our storage room, so I am going to invest in a little paint and give them a cute makeover, then sell them. Anything to make life a little smoother while DH works on his time so he can pass the test to be hired as an officer. (😬)
