I am kind of happy about this, and kind of annoyed. However, MOST of the day means that we are likely to have a couple of hours free on Friday which technically makes this a long weekend for us.
Now I am sure that with this being a long weekend, you're thinking of all the amazing projects we could tackle. Alas, we're on a saving kick now. This week we sat down with our finances, and for the first time in months tallied our total debts. We were shocked to discover that we currently owe double what we thought. We immediately set about drawing up plans for total debt obliteration and I think this 4 month plan will work well for us if we stick to a tight budget and put some of the house-y stuff on hold for a while.
Ultimately, there are plenty of odds and ends that we can do around here without spending a penny and I am looking forward to sharing some no cost before and afters with you in the coming weeks. I am debating whether to set a small weekend project stipend of $10 or so, for incidentals... but I am going to try like heck to do it all at no cost, at least in the beginning.
This brings us to this weeks project. Remember the spare room?
Oh hell, here's that picture again to remind you...
While I have made progress this week as promised. But it still pretty much looks just like the picture with tidier, more organized edges. Hah!
My mission for the weekend is to get that room sorted so that I can at last refer to it as the "guest room" in place of the "spare room".
We're going to be out of the office for most of the day tomorrow, but as soon as we get back, I am going on the attack!
Will be back on Sunday with a weekend project update. Stay tuned!
Looking forward to the no-cost projects. The cool thing about that is that you feel your house is more yours when you put so much blood, sweat and tears into creating everything in it, rather than buying the stuff.
ReplyDeleteAll the best tomorrow, hope it goes smoothly. See you on the other side of the guest room next week! xx
