The Weekend is over and we're not broke!

February 13th, 2006 at 02:23 am

I wasn't sure we'd be solvent after this weekend was over! Saturday we spent lots of money. DH "needed" an expansion card for his palm, OK I realize he really did need it because his work stuff won't load without it and we did get it on sale. We picked up a couple learning things. DS2 is outgrowing everything length wise so we went to a couple thrift type stores and found some clothes and boots for him. I got really good deals on almost new stuff so it isn't as bad as it could have been. The bad part is that we ate out instead of coming home. It was fun though and I am cooking Valentines dinner at home to help make up for it. On the savings side, I opened my ing account and will get the bonus and sold a couple more books. I have 91 on there right now and at least that many waiting to go on. I also sold some of the furniture we don't want to take with us when we move to a local antique store. She's picking it up tomorrow and I will get the money then.It goes straight into out account for the down payment. I dumped change into the can as well. We're still waiting for the SS number so we can file taxes and get the CC debt paid off. I have been wracking my brain to come up with what to do for the $20 challenge and am still dry. It doesn't pay to do books except for the ones I already own and am willing to get rid of. I read some blogs today and am glad to see I am not alone in my frustration. If I could figure out a good way to do that I'd make plans to adopt a set of twins. Right now we can't afford the overseas fees. I'm also reading some things that intrigue me. People really do mystery shopper stuff and it pays? I have tried a couple fo the freebies on the list but it didn't seem to be worth while. Maybe I'll try again. now that I have an account I'll total it every time I add to it. Right now it is still at the $250.00 I started it with.

    I was a mystery shopper but it was too much work for too little money, plus I was given no more assignments because they started doing everything by computer. For example, I would go to McDonald's and order what they told me. They would pay for my lunch and $3-4 extra.
