I started spending more on food, progressed to buying crap food, got the property tax bill $1500.75 (horrors), and now back to trying to save money. I have saved $1000 for the property tax but, I"m just not doing any good at it. I had to buy new clothes and bedclothes. I still need MORE clothes.
I have like four long sleeved shirts, and I bought a heavy sweater. I need more sweaters.Clothes don't last very long anymore, and I seemed to have gotten bigger, even although the scale is still reading the same.
I have to get a second job.I just want to wait after Thanksgiving so I have that. I'm going to shoot for a newspaper delivery job. I know I will have to work seven days a week at that, but I will bring home $1200 a month from it. I will be able to save up to have the house re-piped, re-wired, so that it WORKS. Then I can save up for my RV. Of course very shortly after getting that job, I'm going to have to get a new car, or a good used one.But I'll need to work that job as long as I can stand it. I want to pay cash for my RV, and then, depending on kind of shape it is in, refurbished it.After all it will most likely be my home for the rest of my life.
Of course I still have my little luxuries. Got to have those. I bought Ice House, a Daniel Craig movie that finally came out on DVD. Before it was only available as VCR tapes from the library, OR for fab sum of money off of E Bay ($$$, yes THREE digits)! I think I now own like 23 Daniel Craig movies. And I saw Skyfall (Daniel Craig as Bond)l, twice. It was very good, and I look forward to buying that as well. Even Best Friend liked it.

I am knitting a Leftie scarf for my sister's Christmas present, I have found a coin I think she might like as well. Margaret is getting a hat and a silver charm. Brother-in-law is getting a hat as well and a wine bottle stopper. The scarf is taking forever!
