Nothing much to report..............

Sunday was a quiet day at the Acerage.  Dh spent the morning sanding the drywall in the closet, what a mess that makes, even when you put plastic sheeting up.  I spent an hour or so cleaning up our bedroom.  I would love to say that all the dirty work has been done, but no, as the idiot we bought the house off, didn't put up the drywall properly on the bedroom ceiling, so that too is to repair {SIGH}  At the moment the ceiling is flat, but we are thinking of stippling it to cover up the imperfections. 

Meanwhile I am going to get the inside of the closet painted.  I don't have paint though for the finish coat so will have to pop out to get that.  I am thinking a light beige colour, almost a magnolia colour. 

The weather has been all over the place this last week.  This weekend past was the coldest we have had in a long while.  The weekend prior it was raining and the temperatures we above freezing.  Now we are heading into February which to me is the longest month of the year, despite it being the shortest month of the year.  Febraury always seems to drag on for me.  Plus generally its cold, windy and snowy. 

Also by February I am so over winter, all I want is spring to arrive.  However that's another two months away for us here in Canada.

I hung the metal star thing I got on Saturday on the family room wall, until it gets a bit warmer and then I'll hang in on the wall outside of the house.

So how did you manage in the month of January with the Daily Savings Pot?  Did you find it easy to do?  What are you planning to put away in your pot daily this month?

Today's Money Saving Tip:

What do you do with the crusts or heels of a loaf of bread? Do you throw it away or give it to the birds? Simply run them through the food processor and freeze until ready to use. You will never have to buy breadcrumbs again. If you prefer the seasoned variety, add some basil, oregano and garlic powder while processing. They freeze well in a plastic container or freezer bag.
