DrCarrie - number 9 setting her intentions for March:
March is about movement.
Moving stuckness:
- working on possessions (clothes and make-up, getting them all a bit more reconciled, project 333)
- working on physical health, yoga and walking, and plan my first dip in the see later in the month - even if just a 2 minute plunge
- working on garden, needs a good tidy up in the back and my pots at the front
- working on seeing people, I am on my one too much I think - but my job is very 'peopley'
- working on hobbies, sewing, knitting and reading
Fly a kite...I love this sort of wish I had one.
And here are some non-moving things:
-Foodbank/ charity donation of £5.
-Pay to your debt/savings FIRST and live off the rest. - Yes...will do.
-16 NSDs (unless all you buy is fuel/travel, medical needs, reduced items. And nothing else) Okie doke!
-Plan the month. - I have plan, including activities for a weeks leave.
-Have some fun. Go on a couple of outings. But not more than 4. Unless postponed form earlier and budgeted for. - more than 4 as part of my staycation
-Have a budget and stick to it. - YES!
Looking forward to marching on in March! and shifting out of some quagmire.
