To Do List and Last Week's Savings


My first week of making a list went well.  Here is an update: 

 

Home

  1. Clean off deck – I blame not finishing this on the heat.  We were under a heat advisory for several days.  When it feels like 90 degrees before 9am, you just give up and stay inside.


  1. Clean around fish pond – Done!


  1. Take pictures and measurements of items to list on eBay - Done

Cooking

  1. Make spaghetti pies to freeze. - Done
  2. Make yogurt. - Done

Crafts

  1. Crochet 5 wash cloths - Done
  2. Work on Christmas cards - Done
  3. Sand wood pieces for one matching game – Done

 

Here is my list for this week:

Home

  1. Finish cleaning deck.  We are expecting cooler weather so this should get done.
  2. Post items on eBay.

 

Cooking

  1. Crochet 6 wash cloths.
  2. Work on Christmas cards
  3. Sand wood for second matching game.

 

I had a quiet money saving week so I decided to include that in with this post.  I spent the week at home.  I purchased no groceries as we had more than enough food here at home. 

 

I have been decluttering my closet and cleaning out clothes that are worn.  That means I have had to replace some items.  Rather than purchasing new clothes, I have been shopping on eBay for gently used clothing.  I wear a hard to find size so purchasing clothing at yard sales is not an option. 

 

I dried all of the clothes either outside or on drying racks in the house.
