I always try to look at a new year as a fresh start and a beginning rather than the start of the end of my beloved football season..... :( I have decided for the new year to add my coupon email address to the toolbar on the left for anyone who wants to contact me to ask questions or request a specific topic for discussions. Also any giveaways I participate in.....that email will be given to the winners as notification.
I have also decided to rejoing the Grocery Challenge from WIRR even though it's not on msn anymore.
I finally got through our stacks and stacks of mail I had held at the post office while we were out of town. I was so surprised and excited to see a soggy envelope from my friend Cassie (WVUgirl). Unfortunately since it appears to have gotten wet in the mail your return address was not attainable beyond Baltimore. :) If you read this can you email me? At CouponGreenGirl@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you and get your address so I can return the favor. Thanks again for the coupons.....your wonderful memory astounds me.
Resolutions/Goals:
- This year my focus is cleaning out our condo because we are supposed to move according to DH's work within a year. Get organized (we still have wedding gifts from a few years ago in boxes)
- Eat out of my stocked freezer (we have a wonderful standup freezer we hounded several years ago), we got great meat deals and need to clean it out.
- Budget and stick to it
- Participate in rebates actively
- Continue to coupon/stockpile but try to avoid the midsummer burnout that usually hits me
- Try to nail down a schedule for housecleaning that works so I do not stress and do all in one day.
- Blog 2-3 times a week at a minimum
- Continue to build retirement
Loved reading about your goals. I don't know if what works for me will work for you. But I wipe down kitchen and bathrooms every day( 10 minutes max). Then I just clean a room a week really well. Vacuum and dust about twice a week. I always pick up and make sure dishes are done before bed. I throw the laundry in when I do it at night to wash before going to bed and dry it in the morning. This keeps me stress free.
ReplyDeletePrecious: I'm not sure what will work with our schedule....I'm going to try a few different methods over the next few weeks see what works. I'm thinking I might assign each day of the week a room or item. We shall see. I'll probably end up posting the method that works for me. I will probably try your method and see if it works for us.
