0 more to go! - goal achieved

So, I made my goal which is great - but it wasn't the way I had intended. I had hoped to take my youngest out for ice-cream after her parent-teacher conference. But let's just say that things didn't quite go according to plan.

(sigh).

UGH! If only I didn't get sick on Saturday evening! I couldn't stand my throat pain yesterday and headed to a walk-in clinic and found out I have strep throat. I had the co-pay, cost of 2 prescribed medications, a new toothbrush, and some groceries all related to this illness. Also, because I didn't feel much like cooking the past 2 nights we had take out. Ugh. I can't wait for the new month to start, this one was not so good when it comes to spending.

 

[Tiggerish]

Catching up after a week away at grandma and grandpa's (no internet) and 2 days of cleaning and unpacking...
April 1- School Fundaiser Night at Chuck E Cheese $19.06
New Moon DVD, socks for Easter Baskets and popcorn for resale at Walmart $20.36 ($5.40 for the popcorn.)
Total- $39.42 paid out
April 2- $0 ~~~I am counting this as a $0 spend day because all I spent on was taking my DD8 to the eye doctor ($60 copay) and because her eye is not getting better they had to patch it, so $12 for a patch. This to me is the same as a morgage, insurance and all that. It is a necessity. So while I am writing it down for my benefit to know where the money went, I am calling today a no spend day. Total- $72.96 It was a day off from school so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to do something with them, but we played outside (it was 86 today) and made peanut butter playdough (like at Coral Reef.)
April 3- Busy Day but financially not too bad. We did 3 eggs hunts (town, Adventure Landing and Girl Scouts) and 2 free crafts (Michael's and Home Depot) and played at the park.
$5 Donation to Make a Wish
$1.50 for a mid day slush for the kids (it was 88 degrees in upstate NY!)
$10 gas
$19.38 pizza for dinner
$1.08 New Moon DVD(second copy, this one is for charity.)
$4.50 New Disney Family Stickers for the van, mine are beyond peeling. This is not a necessity, I know, but I bought them anyway. I got them off eBay for a lot less then the ones I bought in Disney.
Total- $41.46
