So, we had Christmas last night and today is a new financial year - which I am treating as a new year.
Our new philosophy of Make, Do, Mend should really kick in from today. Some of my goals include ensuring all our food is healthy, watching where our money is going and trying to reduce wastage in general. Things just creep up on you and it is only when you analyze them that you realise how much you can waste. The occasional bought coffee turned into one - two a week and this was on the rise to almost one a day. And it didn't stop at coffee because the cafe became an outing and I needed to buy food for the kids. This added up to hundreds of dollars over the year which could be better spent elsewhere or saved.
We are going well so far....
what a great idea. next year you should come up to the snow and we'll do a white christmas as well !!
