And getting SonofV up to cruising altitude in school. He'll be doing all the flapping, I'm going be carroting and sticking and mentoring for all I'm worth.

Then I'm gonna get a job.

Then I'm gonna have some fun.

BTW I've been seeing a lot of machine refurbishing threads here if you need inspiration.

Work hard to creating an income for myself out of my candles and see if I can start up making cakes for kids parties. Thought about doing cupcakes for a while, but I think making kids cakes is my forte, so I am going to pursue that. My minion cake was pretty successful, and the ones I've done for my other kids have had favourable comments. First I need to put a portfolio together.

Also, i cut up my credit card in a bid to start saving money.

Smart. Get things in order so you have flexibility.

Aliantha · 01-07-2014, 05:06 AM

Yeah. I thought about just putting the card away, but i know i would just start 'using' again. If its cut up, then i just can't. Its a good thing.

I am going to attempt to bring our weekly food bill in under $100. That is going to be hard. Needs to be done though.

Some folks freeze them in a block of ice so they still have the credit but have the thaw time to reflect on whether they need the purchase.

I have too many hammers. That just wouldn't work for me. lol
