Tiggerish, hope things get better with mom. Hugs.

No more shopping today but it was brilliant. Went to Walgreens, and then to the Flea Market. My favorite book seller there helped me find 7 books on DD's wish list. Got them for $16.00 (original price $101.50). I plan to wrap them in Christmas paper and give them to DD on her visit next week. Since DD lives in Japan and will not be home for Christmas, I am having a Christmas dinner in July with turkey and the whole nine yards. I'll give her the books for "Christmas."

Met my no spend goal. But today was a no spend 'cause my Dad and I spent the day in the ER because my Mom fell at home and was afraid she might have broken her hip. It is not broken but they are keeping her overnight and then we are being assigned a social worker to arrange in home aftercare. It is all very scary since she has been going downhill rapidly since Christmas. She was walking and self sufficient at Christmas. Now, without anything significant happening to her, she can only manage a few steps with a walker and is mostly restricted to a wheelchair. They think her spine is collasping on itself and cannot operate and the pain patches and other drugs are not giving her much help. She is only 81 and the last couple of monts I have been trying to learn to make a decent pie crust from her so she has to get better since I do not want the pie crust skill to die out and I have not got it down yet.

Hope your mom makes a full recovery Tiggerish!

 

[Ginamarie]

Tiggerish- I hope things get better with your mom!

My updated list:

7-1 - $10 parking fee

7-15 $30 groceries at BJs
7-16 $0
7-17 $15 dinner at 5 Guys (we were SO close to a no spend day until we got cravings at 8 pm!)

I am 3 $0 Buy Days away from meeting my goal of 15 days. Today will not be a $0 Day; I am running off to Winn-Dixie in a few minutes. It should be a quick trip though; the list is short and most of it is on sale.

[MickeyMomOfThree]

I am back from being away and ready to rejoin! Realistically hoping for 5 this month. I am not doing so well at the no buy days but what I am spening is very low.

July 13- Groceries $26
July 14-Groceries $121 Higher then usual but I just realized I didn't spend anything on groceries for over 2 weeks! DH and I shared an ice cream $3.50 TOTAL-$124.50
July 15- $0
****************
July 16- About $50 at Micheal's (gift), $3 Sam's lunch for DD who went out with me, about $70 on shamoo, girl stuff etc--a major bathroom closet restock, $10 pizza since I ws worn out! Gas about $35
July 17- movie with the family (Sorerer's Apprentice) about $30, eating out about $20, Michael's a few more supplies $20 but that is cause plan A was taking too long so plan A is going to be the baby's b-days gift (in 11 months) and I made plan b whcih actually is a better plan A then B anyway!
These 2 days are by memory. I hosted an Ice Cream for Breakfast event for Give Kids The World today with 40 or so people. It has been all I have thought about over the last couple days and everything is a bit blurry. On top of that we have a Baptism out of town tomorrow so I had to get the gift supplies and make the gift and we had promised the kids the movie today so it has been a busy weekend so far. Tomorrow is another busy day and not a $0 day since we will be gone all day, but what do you do? Have to go...People first, right?
*****************
July 18- We spent about $15 on food on the road. We had to go away for a day trip for a freiend's baby's baptism. Also $2.50 for a card and gift bag for the gift and some hard candies for the kids to have during the service.

I am realizing how hard summer is going to be. I am not spending much but I am spending often. Tomorrow for example, I am taking the kids to see How To Train Your Dragon. It is only $.50 a person but there you go. Oh, and tonight before bed the kids asked for money for church tomorrow. They will be at VBS all week and have a collection all week. But if that is all we spend I may still consider it a $0 day, I mean, it's giving not spending. The we are into another weekend then my b-day is Monday and we will be pushing August already. Yeah, not doing so well in July but spending WAY less then usual so that is more important then no buy days I guess.

July 19-$0 I gave the kids money for offering at VBS but turns out they didn't do it today being the first day. My oldest told me they never do, but I didn't remember thatso I gave them money just in case. Never doubt her, she remembers EVERYTHING! Also, DD8 and DD15 were pooped after VBS so they came home and took a nap and DD11 had a friend over so we skipped the movie today, so turned out being a $0 day. I think we will go to the movies tomorrow though, it is supposed to be stormy and it's only $1 a person tomorrow. I like the free movies best but we can't do them this week cause of VBS.
July 20- Spent $1.60 at Staples for School Supplies that we gave at VBS today for Habitat for Humanity, and gave the kids money for giving that doesn't count! Took them to the $1 movies to see How to Train Your Dragon, $3. Took them to Toys R Us for a GREAT deal and found another deal, wound up spending $90 But I will explain. First deal, the Crayola B1G2 deal. I got the 50 count markers and 2 free ones. They were $9.97 each but 2 were free and I had a $6 off coupon from Crayola from when we got some dry markers a while back. So 150 markers for $3.97! Woo Hoo!!! While I was paying I saw a cool camera. We have been looking for a reasonable one for DD11 since her b-day in May. It was on clearance and it was the last one. I couldn't reach DH so I just bought it and fiured I could return it later. He read reviews tonight and seems it is a keeper, so it was a good find. Then we went to family night for dinner. I used coupons and the 3 of us (dh had plans as did DD15) had dinner and ice cream for a total of under $8. This also included face painting, balloon animals, games, prizes and the kids won a few silly bands so they were happy! A fun and reasonable day!
Also, I used to be the face painter but they had to cut back and I was let go. But I may be getting hired back since they are getting busy again and was asked to work tomorrow night, $40!!!
July 21-$0 After VBS I picked up the kids and we went to the park for a picnic, unfortunately a major storm hit so we had a picnic in the car and watched all the crazy people still playing in the park during the hail and lightening, then we came home and hung out here. I also got called into sub at my old job tonight and made $40 for 3 hours of painting faces.
July 22- Took the kids for doughnuts before VBS. I usually do it once a year as a treat. I used a GC I was given but put the $3.25 it would have cost me into our Disney Fund. $156.14 Wegman's, but it wasn't all groceries. I got almost $40 worth of facial cleansing products (there was a sale and I have a teenager and a tweenager so it was worth stocking up.) Plus they had free pull string backpacks with purchase so I bought enough to get each girl one free. They are going to decorate them for our Disney trip. I also needed paper goods and it was all on sale and I found a basketball for $4 (yes, at the grocery store) and DD11 my b-ball princess's ball was taken from our yard. $48.42 Walmart, school supplies and locker organizers for my new middle schooler. We also bought about $30 worth of stuff at Staples. $20 will come back to me in Rebates (which will also go to Disney) and the remainder of the $10 is some for my kids and most for the collection at VBS. I spent $16 at Target on a few more school things and colored duct tape so the kids can make duct tape wallets. Finall, DH and I went out on a date. He's stuck at work and needed a break and wanted to see me. Plus, I had a B1G1 dinner coupon! So for that, with tip, $20. Normally when we go out I cheat and get the kids dinner too. Tonight I cooked for them (kind of.) I made them the new Kraft Homestyle mac and cheese. They never had it but when we were at a festival they were giving it out for free. There were 5 of us and we went twice so we got 10 free packages so their dinner was free!

Added to Savings: $115/$400
Christmas 75% complete, one birthday completely DONE

You made your goal! Congratulations!

Thank you so much!!! Still amazed how much I could get done for Christmas, thanks to this thread and being aware of my spending!! You regularly inspire me Where's Piglet!!

Another 0 spend day...but D Day is quickly approaching. For me, D Day stands for daughter visit. 2 days at Universal and another day of her visiting, which could include dinner and shopping..... Can I resist spoiling her since I won't be seeing her again for almost a year (she lives in Japan)? I'm thinking not. Stay tuned.

You are doing so fantastic and a year is a LONG time. I bet shipping to Japan is awful! I say spoil away and enjoy your 1st Christmas of the year!!!

Met my no spend goal. But today was a no spend 'cause my Dad and I spent the day in the ER because my Mom fell at home and was afraid she might have broken her hip. It is not broken but they are keeping her overnight and then we are being assigned a social worker to arrange in home aftercare. It is all very scary since she has been going downhill rapidly since Christmas. She was walking and self sufficient at Christmas. Now, without anything significant happening to her, she can only manage a few steps with a walker and is mostly restricted to a wheelchair. They think her spine is collasping on itself and cannot operate and the pain patches and other drugs are not giving her much help. She is only 81 and the last couple of monts I have been trying to learn to make a decent pie crust from her so she has to get better since I do not want the pie crust skill to die out and I have not got it down yet.

((((Hugs))))), I hope all goes well with the social workers and that things can be arranged that will help your Mom resume/continue with her activities of daily living!! I am so happy for your family that her hip was not fractured. Just something you may not think of is to pick up all throw rugs. They can be very slippery. If they have carpet, make sure there are no loose spots, folds or bare spots, that can catch her foot, causing her to fall. Same thing with wood, tile, lino floors.

Have they said what your Moms bone deterioration is caused by? The loss of independence and the need to require help must be very hard for your Mom to accept. As for your Dad, I hope he takes time to care for himself also.

Prayers for you and your family!

Congratulations on meeting your "no buy" goal!!!!

Well, I did it! My no spend days are now 12/12, so any more no spends for the rest of the month are just gravy. I know I'll be spending tomorrow since I have a copay for my 20 week ultrasound, but that will be worth it.

Congratulations!!!
