March: Spring into Savings (frugal chatter)

[Crochetlady]

oh almost forgot to mention my good news of the day. booked myself into another venue for next month. can't wait.

Good luck! I find this time of year to be quite slow for selling crafts so don`t be discouraged. Things always pick up in the spring.

I think we are all tired of this cold weather. I got a steal of a deal and I am off to sunny Spain for 2 weeks in April while DH stays with the girls. I do casual childcare and put it in a travel fund for family or individual trips.

How wonderful lizzie definitely something to look forward to sunny spain!

Been dealing with house stuff. Home and water/septic inspection done. Nothing that we didn't expect/would have us walk from the deal. Countered an offer on our home too. There is a second offer coming in if that one doesn't work out.

great news Granger about the offer(s) that must relieve some stress
