I am happy to see February behind me. Spring will be here before the end of the month and I really don't like the cold weather that much. I think winter is beautiful, but I could do with a two week winter.:)
February was a bust of a month for finances with me not coming even close to my goals. We will make no extra on the house in February. I did get my Aunt paid, and I paid off my debt for the month, but that is all I can handle. Plus I did the grocery challenge and that helped a little.
I am going to extend the challenge until March 7th because we were gone for a week in February. I also think that I really need to get to the bottom of the freezer. As I don't want things freezer burned. Although I can see that we are making a dent in our freezers, so that is good. I still have to make jam with all the frozen fruit in fact I will go pull it out now and that will force me to get to it. I mean really I can put things off better than anyone I know. Just pulled fruit, that should get me doing something with it!
February has always been a tough month for me, and I have always made it through by the skin of my teeth, even last year, but covid had not gone into affect yet. This year even though I put off the accountant and taxes I still could not make it. I am not used to that and it was disheartening. I just have to remind myself of all the things I did do that were good.
1.I completed three weeks of a pantry/grocery challenge
2. I was able to gift my Aunt her $500.00
3. I was able to pay off a debt of over $1000.00
4. I was able to do all my saving strategies for the month of February.
5. I was able to go an see my daughter and family and Hubs parents
All in all other than not paying a $1000.00 extra on the mortgage I did okay. I will work hard this month to try and achieve my goals.
I have to pay the bills today for the month and I have a new debt to be paid off this month along with all of my other saving strategies.
I have plenty of sewing to do today,and I really need to start getting the taxes whipped into shape. I do not want to do my taxes.*&^%$#@ Don't want to, don't want to.
I swear the chicks have doubled in size since yesterday. I know they grow fast, but they already are starting to get pin feathers. Too cute. Schmills is coming down to see them after school. Well I am off to set the world on fire, or at least a fire under my butt.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
