Today's Spending

(Twenty Eleven) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:18:47 PST

Spending is in control!

boo_meyers@yahoo.com (Kathy) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:18:28 PST

So far so good. I have been cooking every night. I really enjoy getting back into our old "boring" routine! Comforting! We have plenty of food and I have made a menu for the next two weeks.

PS Kids went back to school today! Yeah!

Mom came by and fixed my sewing machine. Boy...

Restructuring at work

premlata.sarju@gmail.com (female) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:20:20 PST

My company is combining our Canadian operation with the U.S starting this year. There are going to be a lot of job cuts in Canada.
I have started job hunting. I am most worried that if I don't find something else and I get laid off, this will cause me to dip into my savings and get...

Back to work, dreaming of houses

laneerg@yahoo.com (Laura) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:04:53 PST

Updated sidebar. I'm within $400 of fully funding my Car Fund! Woo hoo!

I pulled into my parking space around 7 p.m. last night. It was so good to be home. I had a really good trip, and was really really spoiled . . but it was so good to be home.

I didn't sleep very well...

Days are flying by

ejwglenn@yahoo.com (Lizajane) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:38:35 PST

I can't believe it's been 3 days since I had something to report. I've been busy, I guess. I'm still trying to find a block of time to finish and close out "the books" for 2008, run some reports, analyze the numbers, and figure out goals for 2009.

On the job front, I'm just waiting...

Ordered seeds today . EEEEE!

denise@pussycatmagazine.com (Denise) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:38:02 PST

I get really excited when the seed catalogs come in the mail. I sent in a rather ambitious order today. I am really planning to garden it up and try to preserve food this year. I just read "Animal Vegetable Miracle" by Barbra Kingsolver for the third time, and that is probably dangerous...

Nothing to report

veronak@hotmail.com (Amber) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:37:56 PST

Other than paying off CC I had a no spend today. I also have had lunch and breakfast at home no dining out for me until I get this cc debt down.
On a different note it was raining today so I didn't feel like going to the gym but will go tomorrow right after work, I also read chapter...

Tempted to Buy

carriefinn@yahoo.com (Creditcardfree) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:29:30 PST

I've been trying not to spend this week on extras. So far so good. Until, I get the mail and find a catalog for Smith Noble, a blind and window treatment company.

I really need...maybe want a new blind for our front window in our living room. I browse the catalog. I start searching...

Since before christmas DH has been doing research on our home and content insurance. He finally decided on one and we got the papers for it yesterday. He decided to go with the same company as our car insurance. They give us a 10% discount and some further discount because we decided...

Mystery Shop $

(Blue Eyes) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:06:36 PST

I did a mystery shop a little over a week ago for an oil change at a car dealership. Today I noticed that the reimbursement of $38.64 was deposited into my account. I still am waiting on the shopper's fee. This mystery shopping company pays them separately for whatever reason.

I...

I Love Workplace Drama!

kaw384@yahoo.com (Front Porch Mom) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:02:08 PST

Work has been so fun! I mean really really fun! Tons of gossip and rumors floating all over the place. It is amazing. Just announce job cuts and boy do folks get off their rears and get to work! AMAZING! One worker who does the same job I do on Saturdays but she does it on Sundays...

Bunco tonight

hitomismith@hotmail.com (Maismom) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:18:46 PST

I joined the gym on Sunday, and have been working out three days in a row. That's pretty good for me!

I just want to make sure I recover the cost of membership. Well, just kidding.... a little.

My friend called me and asked me to play bunco tonight with them. I said "SURE!"...

Sick again - But at least the camera came

hmartin427@hotmail.com (HouseHopeful) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:13:54 PST

I've been sick again. Making it into work, but am sleeping pretty much non stop. And if I'm awake, I have NO energy. Which means I've been buying food instead of preparing it. I'm hoping to feel better by tomorrow or Friday. Once I get back into the swing of things, I'll get on with...

Frustrated

rduell@gmail.com (rduell) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:02:05 PST

DH and I are going through FPU and we had decided that we are finally ready to take the step of stopping our retirement contributions temporarily so we can apply that money to the debt snowball. I had no problem stopping mine at work since I'm the one that does the payroll. DH...

The anticipation is killing me

critch@memphis.edu (Missy) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:58:17 PST

Okay, my school decided to torture me today. They send me a happy little e-mail and in happy little font they write 'your refund has been processed. It should be deposited into your account within five buisness days.' or something to that effect. Anywho, what it meant was that it could...

Almost spent money but decided against it.

crystal.pilon@gmail.com (Crystal) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:48:24 PST

This is why I try to remember to always take my time before spending money. I want an elliptical and a treadmill.

Up until househunting (November), I regularly went to a gym 3 times per week. In the winter, the main draw was the elliptical since I have weights at home. Found both...

Pretty Expensive Day

amy_marshall2007@bellsouth.net (Amy) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:05:34 PST

Today has not been a good day, spending or otherwise. I had a doctors appointment today. Been having this phantom pain in my stomach on and off for a year or so, but that has been constant for the last two weeks. Turns out I have a hernia. I have to see a surgeon next week, who...

I'm so excited!

canneram@gmail.com (lowincomelady) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:35:58 PST

I have been trying for months to lose weight. And not succeeding! In fact since I started I put on about 7 kilos!! But the last few days or so I think I have cracked it...
