New Year resolutions - do you have any???

[Tantor]

- TO SCRAPBOOK MORE!!!

- stop putting up my hand when something needs to be done i.e school, brownies etc.

- read more

That's all I can think of right now.........I'm sure there is more...........

My NYR is to pray more. It is not something I was taught to do, but I always feel better after doing it.

DO MY REWARD PROGRAMS!

 

[CajunDixie]

Already started on mine. I'm going to budget and save better in the new year. I've already posted on the Budget board asking for Penny Pincher/Frugal type sites and received some great responses. I've started a price book already....list your most common things you buy like flour, sugars, canned goods and write down the prices from the different places I shop. Then I'll rotate my shopping each week, one week do a bulk store, next week Aldi's, next week WalMart...... We're still deciding between refinancing our current house or moving. Either way we'd save money on the lower interest on a mortgage. We already save all change for vacations. After over 12 years of not working I'll be starting a part-time job next week and DH has already declared that all of that money will be totally mine to do as I please. I think every other week I'll buy a savings bond and the rest I'll most likely get in the habit of splitting between regular savings, holiday savings and a lil mad money to buy extras. And I'll probably still hit garage sales in the summers to find things to resell on Ebay.

Mine is to be better organized. Once I get myself organized I think a lot of other things will fall into place. Things like, having some "me" time to do what I like (scrapbook, read, bake). And, get started selling on Ebay, budgeting our money better (more trips), having time to do reward programs, surveys ...

I started last night by tackling one room at a time and staying with it until it is de-cluttered, organized and clean. I'm even going to tackle the garage!

I've thrown away tons of "junk" already. I'm a little bit of a packrat.

Good luck to us all - we should check in and see how've been doing on our NYR.

I am going to:

De-clutter (already took FIVE huge trash bags..like the outdoor type trash bag...of clothes to the Salvation Army).

Learn to scrapbook (wish me luck ).

Me too...on the budgeting!!! I'm buckling down on the Rewards Programs, selling on eBay, etc.

Good luck everybody on your resolutions!!!

Well, I guess DH's is to tackle the budget thing. We've tried so many times in the past, but never seem to get anywhere.

I also need to work on the de-clutter thing. I've made lots of progress since the Morning Sickness went away 2 months ago, but I still have more to do. Need to make room for Baby #2, afterall. I know if I can just keep after it, our "quality of life" will be so much better around here.

I really want to get back to my quilting. That was another thing that just ended when the Morning Sickness started, and I haven't been able to really get back to it until now (had to de-clutter the diningroom first).

I think since Baby #2 is coming in a few months, we'll have to pass on any Disney trips this year. But I figure that gives me a little more time to save for the next one--especially since DS will no longer be "free."
