What the first good work u do on the first morning of new year.

Although this is a couple of months old now, well about 7 weeks since the start of the new year, I will still respond. For a start I do hope that you had a good new year and that 2007 is progressing in the direction that you want it to do for you. Our new year started fine, and has actually continued that way for the first 7 weeks at least, and I expect that it will continue that way for the whole year. My husband and I have agreed that we will be going to Canada next year (2008) to visit our son, as he will be returning there in a couple of months time for about 18 months or so. This is the chance for us to see where he lives and works when he is over there plus of course see some new places. We don't have that sort of money to be able to make such a trip, so that means we will have to save very hard to be able to afford this. In order to have the money to make this trip, we will need to make some cuts in our spending, but at the same time still enjoy our life and be able to spend time with our friends. This will not harm anyone else but it does mean that we will plant more of our own vegetables, instead of buying them. Upgrade the "barter system" we now operate with friends who grow different things to us and such similar ideas. Even if we can reduce our food bill by a third every fortnight, that money can go towards our trip. At the same time, we will not go our socially very much unless it is for a special reason. We will take all our meals with us when we are travelling, rather than buy a meal sometimes. All of this money will be put away into what we are now calling our "holiday fund", as will all that I earning from myLot during this time. It shall be interesting to see the fund grow, and although our son has offered to pay for us to go over there, we would like to be able to contribute as much as we possibly can towards the costs of the trip. Do you think that what we are planning and doing is a good thing to convert as a new year's wish?

good 2007 to you and yours may you have health and wealth in the new year
