If I read some of those books I owned before 2019 and don’t love them, I will offer them up as prizes!

Updating my bingo, I realised increasing net worth by $100k might be a bit optimistic, being as I am only saving $29k and the super I get each year is only about $15k, that is a lot of market gains that I am hoping for.

So maybe say $60k

I can offer a couple of 4" by 6" (card sized) watercolour painting? Preferably a flower of person’s choice since I am OK at those.

Thank you!

I am apparently trying to self-sabotage already–I left my mini knitting bag with the lace scarf project in it behind after knitting group yesterday! Thankfully it was handed in to lost and found and I can pick it up tonight.

I have also accomplished the very important step of deciding which garment (that is already in my queue and that I have the yarn for) I will knit.
