Is there such a monthly thread?

marycanary

I thought I had seen an ongoing thread where people committed to undertaking activities during the month. There was a wide range of things typically related to,

Health

Frugality 

Crafting 

Education/training

DIY

Decluttering

Social

Saving/financial and more

It was a bit like 24 in 2024, but each month. Did I dream it? I think I would find something of that nature very useful.

Thank you @Brie. Can I be lazy and, rather than read through the thread, ask if it includes all the types of things I listed? 

Many thanks

Yes you can and no it doesn't.  Sorry I didn't clock that you wanted everything all in one spot.  This is specifically about decluttering though it does sometimes fall into recipes and finances and just friendly social banter.

This might suit you better....have a look at the initial post and see if you want to bookmark it.  Not sure it will have much about crafting, training or DIY but the rest should be covered in some fashion.

I know there's a craft thread somewhere, like in Old Style, also a DIY one in the Houses section.  Not sure about training though.

me being a nuisance again....again - a single feature thread but didn't want you to miss it if it would work for you.

There's also this craft one (and I suppose they'll do a 2024 version)

Don’t forget the monthly Grocery Challenges.  They’re always pinned at the top of the Old-Style Board.

@MaryCanary - It was the November NST Sparkle over in the Reduce Debt and Boost Income monthly challenge section. I was enjoying doing the different categories too.

Hi

Thank you all for your replies. I don't actually do crafting and I'm not in education or training, they were just examples of the type of thing people used to post. So, for instance, this month I would like to,

Take down and sort through the Christmas decorations and put away those I wish to save
Lose 5 lbs in weight
Go for coffee/drink or see a film with one friend per week 
Order seed for next year
Sort through the sideboard 
Turn out 1 room a week
Walk at least 10,000 steps per day
Obtain quotes for a home improvement project
Decorate one room.
Research next holiday

Other people had their own personal to-do list with the things they wanted to achieve in the month. The thread can not have been on this site but I really can't think where I saw it. 

Thanks again for your time
