Wants List......That's right, I have wants! LOL
So DH and I sat down a few days ago and started making out our lists of wants (with a few minor needs thrown in for good measure).
I thought I would list them out here and then see how we do with them and how long they last......also thought that I might list out if I was able to get some good deals or not. These things will be paid for all with snowflakes with one exception. We refinanced the house that is now a rental and didn't have to make a payment in August. Since I had budgeted for us to make a payment (I didn't know that at the time) we are going to use that payment to give us a little jump start. I am ok with this since the extra check that DH gets this month is all going (every single penny) toward our PMI payoff goal. So we will begin with $853......let's see how far I can make that go.
1)Fees for the HSing co-op and also Moms Club for the year ($100)
2)Swimming lessons for the boys ($152)
3)Curtains ($154.69)
4)Garage Door Opener ($261)
5) Snow clearing Equipment ($75)
6)Swing Set ($250 including delivery)
7)Mattress for Evan's bed ($204.11)
8)Locks for the doors($163.16)
9)Shower curtain for the boys shower
10)Ice maker
11)Chicken coop
12)Faucet fixes
13)New stove
14)Fix for the minivan hatch door
15)Rabbit Hutch
16)SLR Camera (I was promised one of these for exclusively pumping for a year for DD and am having a hard time justifying the expense)
17)Table for the hall
18)Organizer system for the totes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19)Generator($317.99)
20)New deck for the house
21)Compost bin
22)Rain barrel
23)KA mixer
24)gun (this is totally for DH, I don't want one!)
25)new comforter for our bed
26)shed for the backyard
27)heater for upstairs($148.25)
28)Mowing lift system($211.99)
So that is it for now.........obviously this list will grow and change with time. Some things that seem like priorities now will move up and down the list but for now this is what we are working with. Green Prices are set.......or things that are already bought. Looks like that payment will help us make our way a little down the list. Blue things have been added since we have ordered them so I figure in about three months we will see what can come off the list and reorder them again.
