Today is the day...

October 2nd, 2009 at 01:47 am

My self-imposed 1 year not buying anything that I don't absolutely genuinely need. No clothes, no shoes, no socks, no undergarments. No new makeup, unless I actually run out of something. No new moisturizers (I probably have enough assorted brands to last 5 years). No books, no magazines..... No nothing!

I had my first evaluation at my job yesterday and had no negatives or any place I needed to improve. That felt good. Today I saw the worker's comp doc and I felt ready to bump back up to 7 hours a day. My shoulder is much improved.

We had Direct TV installed today saving $17.00 a month over our cable TV with many, many more HD channels too.

DH is on board for this year, which is going to really help since he does 95% of the cooking and household/grocery shopping.

Our Christmas present will be flying back to see our sweet granddaughter, oh yeah and YD and SIL too.

    Wow! Best of luck with the challenge. It will be interesting to read what situations arise and how you deal with them. My first thought was "is Direct TV really a need?" LOL! Just playing with you. A real question I have is what about birthdays & holidays? Is someone else allowed to buy you a want?

    Good Luck with the challenge...there is an article in Readers Digest about a family that did this.

    Cool, let us know how it goes! I've been curious about this type of challenge but my husband would NEVER go for it! Smile
