well this one isn't going to go away.. i need to come up with 86.00 a month extra to get this old landlord paid off.. this is on top of everything we already are paying on... I'm beginning to freak out!! I'm already not using the dryer, and resorting to showers instead of baths for everyone..ugh!!! how am I ever gonna come up with this!

so here we are doing so well with our finances and bam... our washer breaks, and our sweeper.. i have 2 boys.. these are must have items!!
jon is calling the lady that we stuff papers for to see if she has this months pay so we can get a washer out of the paper and see if we can't get this one fixed. as far as the sweeper .. i dunno.. It's getting looked at. I've been pinching our pennies as tight as we could. did a couple mystery shops for some dinners out, and even landed us a week long vacation in Myrtle Beach for FREE!!!!!!!!!!

hit the global bazaar sale 75% off. not a whole lot left.. managed 700.00 worth of home furnishings for 150.00!!!
I am adding 5.00 to my challange from a pinecone check recieved today in the mail.I am waiting for it to hit my bank so i can move all this into my ing acct.

I'm so proud of us.. We are taking My husbands raise and putting it towards our biggest credit cards. I will be going tommorow to make our 4th payment this month.

now to plan a 2 year olds birthday party cheaply.. ick

We shopped year round for Christmas gifts and got outo f Christmas for 100.00 for close to 20 people. just bought everything on clearance. We were so excited for our tax return until mother in law calls and needs some money out of it.. we owe her anyway so there goes our vacation.. the rest went to credit cards and our new well.. how exciting. our bang is becoming a bum.
The frame on our couch broke last night, and we still are in the middle of remodeling this dump so we can sell it.
I was able to hit a clothing giveaway and found a ton of stuff for ebay. i'm hoping it does well.
I am going to try the 10.00 a day toward debt. I have an old navy /gap card that I maxed out when my son was born.
I paid it already this morning, and sold some unused formula checks, and boxtops for education to get started on coming up with 10.00 for tommorow.
hard to find cash as a sahm, but I'm learning..
with my coupons I was able to buy 300.00 worth of groceries for 40.00 so my freezer and fridge are stocked.
Were in a good place i just hope we stick with it.
