Thursday, My snowball is rolling

     I completed another chart and I am on fire here.  This is what a debt snowball can do for you.  As you pay off more and more and reduce your expenses more and more, you can put more money on the next debt. That next debt for us is the house.  I can go down to the bank today and put at least $500.00 more on the principle.

     It seems that all I do is get up sew, clean a little, garden a lot and go to bed. I rarely go to the store and if I do it is for a gallon of milk or a specific item.  Yesterday you could get 4 cans of tuna for .39 a piece.  So I grabbed those when I picked up celery. Almost all of  our meals come from the freezers and the garden and storage.  This is really  making a difference on how many charts I can complete.

     I sewed really hard yesterday and was able to really hit the pile, which kept getting bigger as I uncovered thins in the shop.  I was also able to rip many things last night so I could quickly get them on the machine today.

     I had a wedding dress picked up yesterday and will have another either today or tomorrow.  I also need to start on another one today.  I feel like if I can get the three wedding dresses due out for Sept 7th, I can start on the others, plus I have so many bridesmaid and mother of the bride dresses that are also due out.  It is crazy.

     So today it will be to finish the pile (ha like that will ever happen) finish a wedding dress, call several clients for pick up, then start another bridal dress or get at least 4 bridesmaids/mothers done.  If I can do this I feel like I can breath, maybe.

     September will be here before you know it and I have many things due out, plus my busiest month is October and I have to get all October things done before the end of Sept.  I don't want anything to worry about anything when I go to see Sis and Sluggy.  Yikes!

     I also found a check for $72.00 in my check book that I had used to put between pages as a buffer.  I don't know how it got there. but sometime at the beginning of the month.  Hey I can use that.  Found money is great but $72.00 of found money is better.

Have you ever found a larger sum of money you stuck away?  How much was it?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
