another no spend day

April 11th, 2007 at 11:45 pm

Well stayed home day, cooked for fam for a few days. Did crockpot chicken, big pot of beans, meatloaf, and boiled potatoes. Since I don't get home until after 7, it gives them something to heat and eat.

My mom has decided that she and I need to go to Hawaii with my SIL and niece next summer. So, now I have to come up with more ways to save money for a trip. Not sure if DD1 and DD2 are going to go as well. So, on top of trying to save money to get ahead for our future, now have to figure out how to get money for trip.

At least I've got at least 13 months to save the money. I'm going to break it down weekly and see how much I need to have to reach my goal.

Okay, I know I missed a month, but I got lost somewhere along the way. So I've decided to start this month out right and get myself and my money back on track. Today, I spent $.60 for a candy bar (really bad chocolate craving) and a $1.00 a bottle of OJ (got really tired of the water). But on the plus side, did get a check in the mail for DD1 scrip that didn't show up when we first got on the new insurance. (that's going to the cc that I had to charge it on) she's Type 1 diabetic so and 3 month supply of just one of her insulins was $251 (got back $181) That's not doesn't include her other insulin and needles and test strips. Thank God for insurance, so or not. So, that's all I got for today, going to town with my Mom tomorrow where I know I'll at least get a free lunch.
