We're getting close friends. So close I can taste it. Almost time to get prequalified and start submitting offers on new homes!! Woo-hoo!!!
Downside: no $$ to spend. At all. We need to save every penny for this upcoming massive purchase and since we had the brilliant plan to buy a fixer - we need all those other pennies for small details like cabinetry, doors and exciting drywall repairs. So. Spending stops now. Luckily I already finished my Christmas shopping (point!) Unluckily, I spent a little more than I wanted and now we are on sort of in a Ramen Noodle and Mac N Cheese situation. So I try my best to take things one baby step at a time....ok that's a crock, I am 100% Type-A, OCD full throttle jumping in with both feet kind of girl - but without stripping my family of basic nutrition and heat this holiday season I vow to (aka "try") to take things one frivolous spend at a time. Up first - no new clothing. WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! (that's me crying like a baby)
But seriously, I can do this. I know how to sew, tailor and be creative. Not as good as I can shop but I can make it work. So rule #1 - no clothing purchases (except for dress shoes for my son because his gigantic feet have outgrown his old ones) and I better find a good sale...and a coupon...
So shop my own closet...sounds boring. Mimosas and shop my own closet? Ahhh, now were getting warmer. Lets see if I can do this. Stay tuned.
