Well, I am so totally over TTC to the point where I need something else in my life as a goal to distract me from the torture. So here it is...

Today I went to Vinnies to look at bedding for DD1's single bed (which we were given, free, a lovely white 4 poster bed with matching set of drawers, seat, and bedside table ).

There was good stuff there and it was so cheap compared to new stuff from Kmart etc.

So here is the challenge.

Buy absolutely nothing new for 6 months. Nothing except food and toiletries. Second hand is fine, hand me downs are fine, borrowing is fine, just not new.

It can be done, I am so sure of it, it's just easier to buy new than to hunt around second hand stores... but the extra expense I can't justify for so many things, as well as the environmental cost of producing what already exists.

Keep me accountable .

If we are sucessful at this, the next thing we will tackle is processed food .
