February goals

I can't believe it is already February 6! I thought I should sit down and get my goals down before the month ends!

1. Put $120 into savings (this is what we did spend on our cleaning service).
2. Have contractor give us a bid to finish basement, stop stressing and freaking out about said bid and set date to start the construction.
3. Finish clearing out the basement (this includes stuff that we'll move back in after construction - price is cheaper if they work in an empty basement).
4. Move tax return to savings minus $300 to pay for my girls' weekend.
5. Wrap up monthly budget on 2/15 and face the facts :)
6. Spend final 2 weeks of February reminding myself of why we are sticking to a budget (this means more savings, less home equity credit to finish the basement, living without added stress) and do it!
7. Bring a well planned list to owner appreciation day at my local co op (we get 10% off that day instead of our normal 3% as owners) and do not buy anything that is not on that list!
8. Keep kids' play dates under control - say no if it will cause us to feel rushed at all.
9. Begin cleaning out my closet (it is the dumping ground for everything right now - this will have to wait until we finish clearing out the basement).
10. Plan 1 family fun activity every weekend - it should be simple and free

Wish me luck!
