Count me in too please. Love this month's acrostic goals!
Budget done for the month. Serious convos with OH, always difficult before, huge relief and positivity when done.
I've reached out ahead of time and withdrawn several promises/expectations and assumptions of my presence in a couple of places next month, because I need to prioritize my spending elsewhere. Big house repairs need doing, though finding people to do the work is proving trickier than I thought. So far three companies answered my call, of which two promised to quote. No quotes!
In January I did manage to get new broadband installed, so that's one thing done and we're going to be £77 better off, because they were about to absolutely hike up our bill.
We're not going to be recluses, and we have a Valentine's meal booked. We have several outings planned for the whole year, and the aim is to book nothing else, no matter how tempting.
Dry January saw my heart rate hugely improve, so I'm going to try to carry on, apart from a glass of wine on Valentine's Day, as it comes with the meal.
I can get into smaller jeans now, uncomfortably. Let's make it comfortable this month!
I can get my wedding ring back on. Let's get it to complete on-and-off-ability, to quote a plasticine turtle on an old ad.Keep reading books!

I’d love to join too please Grandmanerd
This month I’ve already paid Febs bills and done a healthy online shop ( I get paid the last Wednesday of the month)Our main expense is a wedding mid month but as there are few and far between wont be scrimped on. They already have their present and it was cheaper to rent an Airbnb than hotel for our bit of the family (also paid for) so it will be mainly spends.
The being kind to ourselves is a main one. We’ve both been ill and are far from 100% ( that’s going to take a while) so a good, simple diet and taking life gently is this months aim.
Have a good month everyone
