Lots to do today.

~conferences with teachers this afternoon
~finish working on the menu plan and shopping list for Novemeber
~start working on november's budget
~laundry in cold water - less detergent

I have needed my hair layered for some time now. I finally went and did it last night - $12 but sooooooooo worth it. Smile So I end up spending some $$ yesterday but that's ok.

Some frugal goals:

Well I am on a mission to save some $$$, pay for a wisdom tooth that has to come out and have a CASH christmas! Smile
My frugal goals for this week:
~hang dry most of the laundry on the drying racks
~eat from the pantry/freezer
~make a menu for the next month sometime this week
~grocery shop on friday - sticking to the list that goes with the menu plan Smile
~washing all laundry in cold water
~using less detergent about 3/4 less than bottle tells you to and not having any problems with things getting clean
~no a/c on finally!! LOL

I have a part time job working from home and will be increasing my hours the next few weeks to meet some goals. Smile I can set a goal of $$ I want to make and then work until I get that amount - so that's my goal for Nov and Dec. Smile Wish me luck!
