Day 5- no money spent

August 17th, 2006 at 01:43 am

It is day five of my two week no-spending challenge. I see there are some out there who are on their 15th/16th days! Way to go! I will be happy to make it to 2 weeks, although I am not at all feeling the strain.

We had pork roast, mashed potatos and peas for dinner. The roast and potatos were frozen leftovers from another night. Quite tasty for five minutes of work reheating.

DH want to purchase and ethernet cord for the computer. I'm trying to get him to hold off until after the challenge. It is not a need, though pretty close. No, not really. It will just make it possible for him to be on the computer at the same time I am. He works from home, so I get pretty antsy about my computer time sometimes. But I go back to work on Monday and the problem will therefore resolve.

One thing I did prior to this no-spend challenge was pre-plan expenses for the upcoming two weeks. I pulled out money for two birthdays coming up and DH's doctor appointments. It's nice being able to grab the cash I need for the birthday gifts without feeling stressed about it. I just put some money in a card and sent it to my dad. Not the most thoughtful of gifts, but it saved me the postage of a regular gift that would need to be shipped. And I know he can always use money. Big Grin

Tomorrow is day 6 and I see no reason to fall of the wagon.
