Today is day 6 of our strive and thrive challenge to live off of 70% of our income.

We are doing good so far. Today it's freezing here - for us at least. I woke up to 28 degrees and ice on the car windows - that just doesn't happen here. LOL The high will only be 45!!! Will use cleaning the oven to warm up the house.

I decided not to hang laundry today as I don't know if it will dry. I did run the heater this morning but it's off now. I will be cleaning the oven in a little while - I dumped part of our dinner in there last night. I will wipe it out by hand, then it's a self cleaning oven I will turn it on. That should keep it warmer in here today. Tonight I will probably turn the heater on a little while before bed and then set it for early morning.

Cooking will be done from the pantry and freezer. I need to stop and get some sugar and that's it.
