 Good morning and welcome to day 12 of the no spend. Today is Monday and I'm making some tea. I'm not really that hungry this morning so I'm gonna have just one of those Trader Joe's bars. It's just like a strawberry cereal bar. I'm gonna have this and some tea and that's gonna be it for today. But I think my plan for this morning is to plan. The plan is to plan, okay? I just kind of got a little inspired by watching Jen plan's her channel. I will leave it down below and using the monthly view in your planner. I don't ever use my monthly view and it's obviously like wasted space, you know? So I think I'm gonna back plan and do March. So here's March. There's nothing in there. And then I'm gonna like just put some sticky notes and stuff on like April, May, June, July, like anything I kind of know about and then maybe make that more of a regular video. If you guys like it, so I'll film what I'm gonna do. But yeah, I think that's a good plan. It's to plan. Plus I haven't planned out my like actual week that we're in right now. So hopefully I can get that filmed today as well. But yeah, that's kind of it. I don't know why I'm so tired but apparently I am today. But I've got laundry going upstairs and I normally would do laundry like Friday, Saturday, but it's kind of amazing like all the things you don't wear when you're not going to work. So I mean, I'm always in the same like uniform. I'm always wearing like some sort of sweatshirt or t-shirt, which you know, it's fine. This morning I'm wearing first gangsta wrap because hello, that's how I start my mornings. And yeah, like you just don't wear as much stuff because a lot of times I come home from work and then I completely change my outfit because I don't want to wear whatever I was wearing at work. So got the laundry going. So we're good. My tea should be done in just a few minutes and I'm going to eat my little cereal bar and get the party started with the planning. So you guys will probably end up seeing a planning video before you see this. Hopefully that's what I'm hoping today because I want to get a video up for you guys. It's not a vlog. So I'm going to do that and I will see you guys in just a little bit. Okay, it's the afternoon. I just took a doiled dog on a walk. My phone's going off, switched out the first load of laundry. So now I'm on the second load and it's lunchtime. So I think what I'm going to do because I need to go grocery shopping sometime this week, but I think I don't know if I'm going to go today, probably tomorrow or the next day because I need like milk. I'm almost done with my bread and I need to get some eggs as well. I think what I'm going to have is just have some pasta and marinara because it's easy. It doesn't require any like milk or anything like that. Again, we'll go with the angel hair and then I've got in the fridge a little bit left of this one pasta sauce. This is like the Classico four cheese, which I'll probably... It looks like it's more than it is. It's not. It's like really small. The amount that's left in the jar. But I have that left in the fridge so I'll use that up. And if I have more pasta and marinara, I believe in this mess somewhere, yes, I do see something a little further back there. I do have more pasta sauce. Oh, and there's one staring me in the face too. So again, I need to organize the crap out of this thing, but it's not happening right now. I'm going to wait, try to wait. It's been very difficult for me by the way to let this monstrosity happen, especially now that I have the time to do it, but I'm trying to wait until I clear out as much as possible. So fingers crossed I can go the whole month without actually doing it, but we'll see. So anyway, I got my video filmed for my monthly layout of March and I'm kind of loving the way it looks, right? Like, isn't that cute? You guys will see the video before you'll see this, but I just really love it. So I totally knocked off Jen plans. So I'm sorry, Jen. I love your stuff, but it just inspired me and I think that's what like the whole planning community and Instagram and Facebook and YouTube is like all about. So like there's room for everybody and I feel like we can all take inspiration from each other and just kind of figure out what works best for someone's life or lifestyle and all that. Like even with these vlogs and I know a lot of you have commented that like, I'm inspiring you to do a no spend with your family or your spouse or whatever, just you as a single person. But I think we can all just take something from each other. You know what I mean? So anyways, that is what is going down at the FDE house at the moment. And I'm like trying to purge and get rid of things. So yeah. Okay. I need to just like throw this thing away. I'm not even going to show you what I'm throwing away because you guys will probably just like be so sad if I showed you. But it's just, it's not, it's not worth selling, you know? But anyways, that is what's going down over here. I did hear you guys about the like FDE and Doyle merch. That stuff should hopefully be coming up soon in the next couple of months. I need to hire a graphic designer. I already have a lead on who I would like to do it to create basically like a Doyle logo. So I can use that in all of my images and all of that stuff too. Something that I think you guys will like. So again, it's in the works. It's in the works. But the sum of this stuff takes time. So we'll have to figure that out as I go. And I'm also, I heard a lot of your guys' information about possibly not opening up an Etsy store, but talking to somebody that are talking with a company that does like all the shipping, all the orders and basically like make it to order. So then I don't have like a thousand coffee mugs here. And then I have to deal with it. I mean, I'll still get like samples and stuff to show you guys, but that they would basically make it and ship it and like deal with any, you know, issues with shipping or returns or exchanges or something like that. If there's like a wrong size, if you guys ordered a shirt or something. Oh, P.S. I did hear you guys about the sweatshirt thing. I didn't even think of a sweatshirt. I didn't even think of that. But yes, I hear you on that. I feel like that would definitely be over the $25 price point though. So like just FYI, there's, I don't think there's a way to get a sweatshirt with a logo under $25 because especially if I want to put my name on it, like I want it to be a quality of item that I would purchase myself. And that's why I've already ordered some samples of some certain things. Because again, if you're gonna brand it for yourself, you want to make sure it's something that you like too. So I just want to put my name on something that I just, you know, was like subpar quality and, you know, I'd want to wear it and wash it a couple of times, make sure that it doesn't like shrink up a ton or like anything like that. So again, testing stuff for you guys too, like that's part of it. But I'll start with a few things and then maybe I'll add to it just depending on the response. But it seems like about half of you want FDE stuff and half of you want Doyle stuff. So I will exploit Doyle for everything because that boy needs a job. Let me tell you, he's been freeloading for over 11 years. I think he needs a job, right guys? So anyway, um, all right, my water is almost ready to go. So I'm going to drop my pasta in there and have some lunch. Probably chill out for a little bit. Like I said, I just filmed my monthly layout and I'm going to get that edited as soon as I'm done eating my lunchage. I also have to do my unemployment today, which shouldn't take too long. I just need to go online and file for it and do all that good stuff and just fill out the little questionnaire. But anyway, that's it and I will see you guys in a little bit. Well, good evening my friends. I just got out of the shower. I took like a really late shower today. Normally I take a shower like right after, um, lunchtime or like right after I take Doyle on a walk because obviously I don't want to go outside in the cold with wet hair and I just don't care enough to ever blow dry my hair. So it'll dry in like, I don't know, 30 minutes an hour or something like that. But it's about dinner-ish time, 6.55 to be exact. So it's time to find something to eat and I don't know what I want. So maybe you guys can come along and help me. Let's see here all and reminder to self, I don't have any milk. So I can't make anything that has a milk component to it today. But I think tomorrow I'm going to run out to the grocery store because I have to mail out a couple of things. So yeah. All right, what do I want to eat today? I will make, ooh, I know what I can make. Okay, this is going to like really take me back to you guys. So I am going to have, I am going to eat some cheesy tortillas. I used to have this like way back in the day when I was like extra, extra broke when I was living. I think I started eating these when I was living in North Carolina. And I still like absolutely love them. Oh, I don't need anything in the freezer. Gosh, my brain. So I think I'm going to make some cheesy tortillas. All I do is I take one tortilla, put it on a plate, evenly coat it with cheese, and then like wrap it up. So it's like it's like a cheese tortilla roll. And then the sauce, the sauce that I like the best, which I haven't even opened yet, is the Taco Bell Mild Sauce or Mild Sauce. Sorry. Yeah, that's what I like. Normally, I haven't been to Taco Bell in a long time, which I know, sacrilege. But usually, I think I only have like these two packets. Normally I get like a ton of mild packets, so I don't have to buy the bottle. Broke person tip. I always ask for extra sauce packets because I love them. And you know, they give you as many, most of the time, they give you as many sauce packets as you would prefer to have. And some people don't get the sauce either. So I like it though. I like the Mild Sauce. It's good. So anyway, I think that is what I'm going to have for dinner. But I have a like conference call thing to do at eight, my time. So I got to get that set up on my computer, but I have my computer currently charging. So we should be good to go with that. I'm going to just pick up a little bit here too. And just put some stuff in the right places. I like went through a couple of reusable bags today of just stuff. Like stuff that just needs to go places. And oh man, you guys. I could probably do a no spend for another month, maybe two. Because it's just like a lot. It's kind of amazing like how much stuff you end up accumulating. And you didn't even know you had. But the only thing I'm going to get at the grocery store tomorrow is I need eggs. I need milk. And I think I'm going to need another loaf of bread. So I will get those things. And I don't think I'm going to need anything else. But I have like a day to think about it. So yeah, that's kind of what's happening here. Let's see what Doyle's up to. I'm going to say hi to the doodle man. Oh, here he is. Here he is. In all his glory. Hi buddy. Hi little guy. Hi little guy. Yeah. Yeah. Oh Doyle. He's such a funny man. Yep, that's what happens. We got like Aaron Condren, Sherpa Throws, like all over them. All over the sofa today, right bud? Yeah, he doesn't like it when it's like neatly folded. He likes it all messed up because he likes to burrow his little body in there. He's kind of a funny guy. But yeah, so I'm going to get to eating my little cheesy roll up guys and having my mild sauce. I think someone had sent me a message asking what I drink all day. This is what I drink. Just drink water for the most part. In the middle of the day, I will have a Coke usually. I didn't have one today because a Coke with pasta and like marinara just sounds really gross. Like it doesn't, it's not appealing to me, so no. But yeah, that's what's happening here. I'm just kind of putting things away and probably making you really dizzy. So I'm going to say goodbye for right now. But I might show you guys or like talk to you guys in a little bit. So yeah, I'll just talk to you guys in a little bit. That sounds good. I'll talk to you guys in a little while about my eat and I'm going to see you guys in a little bit. Bye. Okay, so I just got done with my live. There were some definite technical difficulties. But I will share what is going to be happening tomorrow because I'm going to try to upload and get this footage up tonight. But tomorrow at 7am, there is going to be a huge video on my channel. There's going to be a large giveaway. I can't remember the last time I did a giveaway of this magnitude. There is a new release from a coffee break planner, which is right here. And then as a little sneaky, sneaky, sneaky, I will show you. I'm also giving away all of this stuff as well as those stickers, which are a new bundle release for Catherine's shop at Coffee Break Planner. So I'm very excited to bring that to you guys. The giveaway will be on Facebook. But if you watch the next video after this video, that will be the giveaway video because it'll say like giveaway, you know, like that's kind of like obvious. I tried to be captain obvious over here. But anyways, I think I'm going to jet for now. Thank you guys so much for watching. I am on Facebook right now getting everything ready for tomorrow morning because the giveaway is going to be on Facebook, as well as I have a image that's supposed to be going up on Facebook at 7am central standard time as well, because that's where the giveaway is happening. I feel like I've just said giveaway a million times. So anyways, I'm getting a little delirious. I'm going to jet for now. Thank you guys so much for watching. I really appreciate it. I'll be back tomorrow for some more fun and I will get this stuff edited for you tonight and you will see this hopefully. And then tomorrow starts the giveaway and the giveaway is going to run until Saturday evening. So if you guys don't see this video until say Thursday, you still have some time to enter. But all the rules and everything are going to be on my Facebook page, which will be linked in the description box either below this video. Or you can watch the next one and it'll be linked there too. So anyways, I hope you guys are having a great day, you know, no matter where you are. And I will see y'all in the next video. Bye guys.
