Well so much for my "no spend day"
Now in my defense some of it was business expense. But here is the thing... I tend to just spend on the business so I am keeping track of that. This was probably the worst month I could have started this as there are so many things requiring spending right now!
Here goes: Started off the day by visiting with the ad rep for the armed services guide which runs in Fort Meade which is near my studio. We are expecting an influx of many hundreds of families into the area due to a base in VA closing. So I placed an ad in thier guide which goes out to all new families: $269.55
Then I had a working lunch with two staff members so I bought pizza (again) bad for my bottom line and my waist line. I need to plan better for when I have the girls over. Anyway: $33
Then I took the boys flyering again and we hit tons of houses! : $72
Water for the boys: $6 (Approx)
After flyering I decided we would just McD it for dinner: $12
Then I called and ordered my
MNSSHP tix today: $257
Gave son money to go to six flags with youth group Wed: $47
WHEW!
Tomorrow I am taking my DS11 back to school shopping, for a haircut and to the movies.
I am aiming to have Thursday and Friday as no spend days.
