Minimal Money Matters

July 12th, 2012 at 01:18 pm

1) I over-estimed the cost of one week of band camp, saving me $10
2) I (my kids) dog-sat my mom's dog on Tuesday when she and my stepdad did a "day away". Yesterday she paid me $10
3) Still happy over the $190 credit at the dental practice (see last post)
4) New-to-me furniture comes home today Big Grin as DH will rent the moving truck after work
4a) I've found a local place to donate my couch and loveseat to. They come and pick it up for free and then offer it to people who are starting over and need furntiure (like leaving a domestic violence situation or coming our of prison). Saves me at least $6.74 which is what it would have cost for me to "sticker" these items as trash and have them taken away.
5) In-laws will be in town unexpectedly this Fri and are taking up out to Giordano's Pizza and then we'll walk around our town's car show
6) DH and son are camping this weekend with the Cub Scouts. Son's first time at camp with archery and BB guns and sleeping in a tent. Borrowing extra sleeping bag from stepdad rather than buying one.
7) Saturday the remaining kidlets and I are going to a dinner at church with our Associate Pastor, the Religious Ed Director, and the team that will be running next week's VBS. One less meal that I have to cook, and they're a great group of people.
8) Looking good in all spending categories, feeling good about things.

    What is the organization you donated the furniture to? I might want to donate some of mine when I move.
