Must Get Back On Track

I have a few major things I want to do this year but if I am completely honest with myself, I am not that great with money, if funds are starting to look good, I think that I can spend a little. We want to add a few essential things to the home, upgrade the car and would love to take the kids over to the land of Oz for a holiday. But before we start saving for that we need to clear the overdrafts! So here is a list of things Mumma must do to get back on track:

• I have rejoined Simple Savings and bought the $21 Challenge book. 
• Keep Meal Planning 
• Don't stray so much from the shopping list (even if that wine is really yummy and super cheap!)
• No buying lunch at work, make my lunch when preparing the kids lunches
• Takeaways once a month only

That's all I have at the mo! Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

YAY! My copy of $21 Challenge arrived! Can't wait to learn ways to be more thrifty!
