Pretty Good Week

Shoot I missed debt quote Tuesday AGAIN.

Only 3 days left in the week and just over $30 left in the budget. I'm cutting in close again. We've done really well with spending this week but yesterday I bought lots of little food items at work that added up really fast. If I could redo yesterday I'd still have the $12 a day budget left for these next three days. Oops.

Something miraculous has happened. My husband's spending money ran out (I give him the spending cash on Thursday when we get paid) yesterday... that's not the miraculous part. So yesterday he apologized for spending $4 with the debit card on food at work and today he asked permission to spend a few extra dollars for food at work. Last week he was screaming about me not wanting him to spend $30 a week on outings with his friends and now he's watching every penny like a hawk. Even if this is just for one week, I'll take it. It's a amazing.

As for Buy Nothing New October: So far so good. I haven't made any purchases (other than food).

Little life update: We had the ultrasound on Monday (Wowwy was that AMAZING) and we are expecting a son in February!!!

I'd better go to work now. Hope everyone vastly enjoys today!
