Rain Rain Go Away

I am not doing well with keeping up with my posting :( Hopefully I can remedy that in the next day or two! 

Woohoo it is Thursday! I am looking forward to the weekend.  I want to go through Kid #5's toys and see if there is anything I can get rid of and sell.  The Christmas shopping season I a almost upon us and I think I can sell a few things.

We have physical therapy today so that means an afternoon of driving and sitting. I need to make myself a iPad sleeve so that I feel more comfortable taking it places with me. Then I can get alittle work done while I am sitting and waiting.  Maybe I can get to that this weekend also :)

Well I am off to get ready for work. Hope you all have a great day!

To Do List

I am behind in getting things done and in my posting. I hope to get both caught up today.

On my to-do list today is

1. Make my hubby some lunches for the week

2. Make meat loaf for dinner.

3. Make stuffed green pepper soup to eat as a meal later this week

4. Laundry

5. If it is warm enough today work on staining a couple of Christmas presents I need to get finished.

6. Make some sort of snacks for us to eat this week

 

7. Get a package ready for mail

This is probably a good enough list for today. I'll be back later to post about my progress and a few other things :)

Present For My Nephew

My nephew turned 6 this week. Tomorrow is his birthday party. I wanted to make him something special. I also wanted it to be a frugal project and use up somethings I already had.  I decided to make him a felt car mat. I scoured Pinterest looking at all the different ideas there are to make them. I ended up using fabric glue and making the layout up as I went along.

Here is what I spent a few hours everyday this week working on and all day today finishing it up. I love how it turned out :)

5 Things I Did That Were Frugal This Week

1. I bought some materials for a present for my nephew and an order. Used coupons and only spent around $11 for both.

2. I sold a couple of items and made $8 for my Christmas fund

3. Ate our leftovers and repurposed a few into different meals.

4. Combined my driving so I didn't waste gas

5. Did a few organizing projects but used baskets, hooks etc that I already had

I Am Behind!

I am behind in my posts :( 

I am working on a time consuming project for my nephews birthday present, which I hope to have complete today . 

It is a frugal project costing me less the $10 to make so that is a plus :)

I'll be back later to catch up on my posting. 

Ugh!

I just realized I missed posting last night :( 

Yesterday was a pretty uneventful day.

I was suppose to sell something but that fell threw :(

I did make a stop at Kroger. I bought toilet paper, 3lbs of hamburger which was on sale and sour cream.  I spent $14.78 which brings my total for the month to $211.42. Not quite as good as last months budget but still under my $250 goal.

Good Day

I had a pretty good day today. 

We had 2 extra people for dinner tonight and I still managed to stick to the menu plan.

I sold a couple small items and made $8.

I worked on my nephews birthday present.

  

I did a little bit of cleaning.

Pretty good day :)
