Wow, it's been raining for hours and hours. Supposed to keep it up tomorrow, also. Good reason to stay indoors and save money. But hard to get things done cos it is a sit in the chair and read kind of day. Hubby is out of town today so I expect there will be a couple of expenses. But when I set up my new monthly budget for this month, I challenged myself and lowered the estimation just a smidge in a couple of categories. We'll see if we can stay within the guidelines. Especially with the holidays coming up. Our next month will end in the middle of November. Then, things should get real interesting! I have food included in my Christmas budget, but I found out this week that the kids are coming here for Thanksgiving this time, and I have no budget yet for that. So I will include that in next month's budget. And also water and stuff will go up cos everyone is here. I did see that I have a little bit extra left in the credit card category and I'm going to apply that to the credit card that we are targeting right now. It would be nice if one goes away faster than I thought. Just a small balance, but a big psychological boost. That's it for now. Just trying to stay above water....
Ark anyone?
