No spend day

February 5th, 2006 at 06:08 pm

I finally had my first no spend day since I joined this forum. I stayed home all day. We got dressed for dinner and started out. About halfway there, it started snowing really hard and laying on the road. We got worried that we might not back it home if we went to eat so we turned around and came home. I don't keep much on hand in the case of an emergency meal, so we had to settle for sausage and eggs.

Instead of turning on the tv, my dh actually sat and read a magazine until about 8 pm. Then he fixed dinner, and by that time the snow had stopped. we would have been ok after all.
Today, we are just piddling around. We are supposed to go over to a couple's house that want my husband to build them a new house. They want us for supper and I am kind of dreading that, because the man once told us that his wife did not cook.

I am a funny eater and can't eat something I just don't like.
Plus they want us at 4 pm. and I am sorry. Yes, my age indicates that I am old, but I don't act or feel old.
I don't eat at 4pm. I eat about 8 or 9 or ten at night.
Can you tell I am not looking forward to this?

These people just turn up at our favorite restaurant once or twice a week to sit with us and I feel that is rude. They never tell us they are coming. He just showed up this past Thurs. night and sat with us all thru our meal.
Oh well, I saved money not eating out last night, so I will add $21 to my challenge money for a new total of $2722.00.

I read the $20 challenge thread all the time and not many are posting to it, I wonder why?

Well I am having a free meal tonight, maybe I should add a few $$ to my challenge money for that? Any thoughts?

    Welcome to my world! Cooking at home......... I can't believe you eat out every night! On week ends, when I have extra boys here, I'm in the kitchen more than not. 3 meals each day, all from scratch (unless I'm really cheating).

    For that meal out, consider 4pm to be lucky, you wont be to hungry and won't mind if the food is no good! Smile

    Contrary, if I had kids, I would be eating at home every night too. I did that for years, made up menus and cooked. It feels good to just go out and be waited on.
