Payday is on the 30th, so I will have some money again for the final two days of the month, but it looks like this month will be a really good one with 25 no spend days!

I know it's not the end of the month yet, but though tomorrow is payday...the DH has the car at work all day, and then we have to carve our pumpkins and ensure that all the bits and pieces for the Halloween costumes are in order for the kids, so I know I will not be out running errands.

On Friday, I will be going to the bank, the grocery store and the Dollarama...so I know some of the WAM money that I am tracking will be spent!

I'm going to start a November thread and hope that my cash lasts longer than the 17th of the month!! Since the fundraising for Cubs and school seemed to all have come up this month (which is what drained me so fast), I should be okay!
