I did not spend any money yesterday! I made it one day. I stayed home and went nowhere. Sissie was up and I sewed some and Dan and I did a little quilling. I also finished a set of pillowcases I had been embroidering. It was a peaceful day.
Today however.... I filled the car with gas and paid cash so $2.97 a gallon I am hoping it lasts the month. I also took Roscoe in for 2 vaccines, total was $53.00. I paid cash. I was supposed to go to lunch with girlfriends, but the birthday girl cancelled so we will reschedule.
I have been cancelling subscriptions like crazy. They really add up and I hardly watch most of the dang things. I will go with one service and that is it.
Kelsa is coming down tonight and will be here most of the weekend as William has a Hockey tournament. She cannot handle the schedule, so she will only go to one game and the stay with me.
Kay made a cheese soup last night with leftovers from New Years eve. We also had a nice salad. There are more veggies (cauliflower/broccoli) in the fridge and tonight I am baking a sweet potato. I will make a small salad and that will be dinner.
I had a tryon of the bridal I am working on and now I have to hand baste the sleeves into this dress as she will be back tomorrow at 9.
Sissie is helping me do up a spread sheet for my bills and savings strategies. It helps me stay on track, as I am an off-track person most of the time. It also allows her to boss me more. But don't you worry I am very good at ignoring her.
So, I am off to get something done, so I can play when Kelsa gets here.
God is good

I just know that you will be able to do all those savings plans. Bit of spending today on Harvey's part, he needed to purchase something to finish off the dining room table for me. So instead of having to purchase a whole new set for our dining room, all we will need to purchase is some chairs. Those are expensive enough, and is one reason why I am trying to save a bit of cash to pay for the 6 chairs.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
God bless.
I really love having a plan & making progress against the goals. I'm sure that will be helpful. And, will allow your sis to boss you around. ;-) My sister asked me for help as well, and we've been working on a financial approach for her. (Hawaii Planner)
ReplyDeleteWell done Kim ... I think the spread sheet is a wonderful idea & will help you keep on track. Happy New Year to you xx
ReplyDeleteA spreadsheet will make planning simpler. You can do this!
ReplyDeleteI had to buy gas at Walmart bc I drive a lot to and from work. I also bought orange juice at Walmart and forgot the bread! Oops! I bought a measuring cup bc I lost mine in the fire. I bought dog food for the younger pups and then forgot to buy gainesburgers for the older dog with teeth issues. Sigh. I did not have my act together. I made a new batch of black eyed peas from dried peas and ate those for dinner. Tomorrow, gainesburgers and bread. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for not spending any money yesterday! The cheese soup sounds so good. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI know seasons change and all, but I wanted to say that I miss your money savings charts. I always got excited when you filled one. But I also have a savings spreadsheet. I have a yearly budget spreadsheet and a separate spending plan/check register spreadsheet. I write down grocery spending and side hustle savings in a pocket calendar (because I didn't do well updating the spreadsheet directly.)
