    I've been doing a lot of tidying. I'm so bad at letting little piles build up. Dh and I want to do a lot of cleaning out this Saturday, so I'm hoping to get rid of a lot of stuff. Why do we hold on to so much? 

    Me too!   WAY to much stuff!  I am slowly going thru stuff and boxing up to get rid of.  of

    My other problem is:  am  I going to save the stuff and try to have a yard sale OR just take it to goodwill? 

    I want to just take to goodwill so I can see progress in my house.  BUT if I have a yard sale maybe I could make a little money for some projects.  

    UGH

    At the orthodontist now. Reading a P.G. Wodehouse book and laughing out loud in the waiting room. :tongue:

    LOVE THIS!!  I too am one that laughs out at books and don't care if I am at dr or home.

  2. People have always told me I look like my mom.  I see it more daily.  Also see my actions more like hers too.

    I was looking at my mom the other day and thinking she looked like my grandmother.  Then it dawned on me I would probably look like that too.

  3. I took the photos at a special place.  He did poses I asked for and he picked poses.  They were so him.

    Then I made a photo card using several of the favorite pictures.  It was an announcement & invitation all in one. 

    He didn't particularly want to wear the gown for graduation but he did.  He wanted nothing special with his graduation and NO party.  

    My next one has informed me he wants it all!  LOL

    We dry outside about 1/2 the year.  I have a laundry room so I installed (all by myself :-) ) wire shelves with hanging rod.  I now hang up about 2/3 of our clothes in the winter on hangers from that shelf to dry.  Takes about 12-24 hours to dry but it adds much needed humidity to our house in the winter and saves so much money as well as wear on the dryer.

    I put a fan in front of my heat vent and angle it toward clothes on the drying rack.  Helps circulate the air and dry the clothes a little faster.

    So... I know this has been going on for a while, but does anyone want to break it down for me?  

    Is it for purely no-spend other than basic necessities or no-spend for anything not budgeted?

    Curious.  Because lately we've been on a spend streak and I'd like to be on a no-spend streak (duh) but we have some planned spending coming up on some important things. ;)

    Whatever works for you is how most are doing it.   I don't include bills but have included grocery just to help me see where I am spending more.

    When I click on the big dot beside the thread, it takes me to my first unread post. Try that and see if it works for you. 

     

    ETA: I was responding to PinkTulip and I thought I quoted her. Guess I don’t know how to use that feature yet!!

    It took me to late 2 and I was only down to your post on page 1

  7. I was thinking most of my splurges have gone away (things super tight) but then I got to thinking.

     

    The one thing I haven't stopped is going out with friends at least a couple times a month. We meet at a fast food place and the kids goof off while we talk.

     

    Now I may not always get food (just a drink) but I we still go. Sometimes we will eat.

     

    I was feeling guilty about spending even that small amount of money but I started thinking. That small splurge brings me a lot of joy. A time to talk and hang out with friends. No more feeling guilty.
