Viewing the 'Uncategorized' CategoryJingle Bells!!September 25th, 2006 at 01:42 pmToday is Monday, Sept. 25th. Only 3 more months til christmas!! No spend daySeptember 24th, 2006 at 08:20 pmLooks like I am having a no spend day today. I have not been out of the house. I did my grocery shopping yesterday and got steaks on sale for dinner tonight. The van is fixed!September 23rd, 2006 at 06:23 pmI don't know how much he spent, other than 2 1/2 hours, but the van is fixed for now. Thank goodness, we now have two functioning vehicles again, now to get the hot rod fixed! I wish my husband's hobby was not cars, but chickens. At least we would get free eggs. A property tax shocker!September 22nd, 2006 at 08:51 pmThey reassessed all the property in our county. I got the assessment in the mail today and it was a shocked. My house has doubled in value since they last assessed it! I guess that means my property tax is going to double too. 3rd day in a row!September 22nd, 2006 at 02:18 pmThis is the 3rd day in the row (at least) that I have not used the a/c or the heat. back scratcherSeptember 20th, 2006 at 06:48 pmI bet I am the only person on this forum that carries a back scratcher in my purse. My back itches sometimes so i take one on trips. Last year, I found one that telescopes and will fit in my purse. It is so handy! Do you carry anything weird in your purse. (Do you carry a purse broken arrow and bookie?) ohh!! My Clean house!!September 20th, 2006 at 05:12 pmMy husband is taking today off and is pressuring washing the house. We have hired this done several times, but they never seem to do a good job, like my husband does. Set a record!September 19th, 2006 at 03:34 pmI think i set a record yesterday. We went to Wal Marts and I did not spend a penny! Not celebrating yet!September 17th, 2006 at 04:21 pmWe had dinner out as usual. I thought about having something expensive to celebrate our possible sale of our house we are building! But decided i would wait until we were really sure. Our first lookersSeptember 15th, 2006 at 08:50 pmWe got our first lookers at our spec house today. They came back and took a picture and that is a good sign. What perfect weatherSeptember 14th, 2006 at 09:34 pmI wish the weather would stay just like this. It is cool, 72 and sunny and pretty. It will be a good night to go out to eat and then cruise the town in our '33 vicky!! That is just what we will do! I think I got gypped!September 11th, 2006 at 06:46 pmWe ate at TGIFriday's, friday night. The next day I looked at the bill; I paid $7.99 tax on a $40 tab. That is 20%, so i called them and was told that that is what sevier county charged for everything, 20%!! LeavingSeptember 8th, 2006 at 01:50 pmI am leaving this morning to go to Gatlinburg. Now, don't you guys go doing anything exciting while I am gone. I know I will never be able to catch up on all the blogs I will miss while I am gone! I sure will miss this site and I am going to try and practice being as frugal as possible while I am gone!!It will be a car show for dh and lots of reading for me and Holly. (no shopping, I hope) Going to GatlinburgSeptember 7th, 2006 at 11:24 pmWE are packing tonight, heading out to gatlinburg in the morning. I hope this cool weather is in Gatlinburg too. It has been a perfect day today , no air running the entire day. If I had screens, I could really cool the house down, but alas, they are packed up in the attic. My first pinecone surveySeptember 7th, 2006 at 10:22 pmI took my first pinecone survey today. thank you so much to the person on here, who gaves me the information to sign up. Thanks a bunch. I am looking forward to my first check!! I hope. I do the click thru ones also, but at 3 cents a clip, it takes forever to get my total up to $30, that is when you get paid. Credit scoresSeptember 6th, 2006 at 11:16 pmI read somewhere that the only credit score that counts is equifax? Is that true? If so, why do we have 3 agencies reporting? Turning the heat on?September 6th, 2006 at 11:07 pmMy hsband has just about finished a house (she needs shower doors) and the lady is moving in and going to spend the night, tonight. PaydaySeptember 5th, 2006 at 04:40 pmMy husband usually works 7 days a week, starting on Monday and ending on Sunday. So, Monday is my usual payday. Of course the banks were not open yesterday, so today is pay day. I AM REALLY BROKE TOO. This seems funny cause I have quite a bit of money sitting in envelopes that I could borrow, but i don't. I have been doing things this way for so long, I never worry about cheating! Eating dinner at homeSeptember 4th, 2006 at 11:16 pmThe restaurants are all closed around here, so we are eating home tonight. dh came home from work at 5 and is cutting grass, so i am going to actually cook. I guess that will be some money to add to our challenge account. Happy Labor Day!!September 4th, 2006 at 04:20 pmI bet my husband is the only one celebrating the day the correct way, he is laboring!! Another low power day??September 4th, 2006 at 02:45 pmIt is cool and rainy this morning. I hope that means it will say a low electrical power day like yesterday. It is nice on savings, but makes it hard to get the grass cut. Prices have gone upSeptember 2nd, 2006 at 03:05 pmWe went out to eat last night. One of my husband's favorite meals is prime rib. They have new menus and I noticed the prices have gone up. Prime rib went from $15 to $17, pretty expensive in our area. Good thing my meal is usually only $7. I noticed the prices have gone up, but waitresses still make only $2 something an hour. I think that is awful. I started waitressing in 1985 and i was earning $2.01. Now, 20 years later, they make about 12 cents more an hour. That is terrible!! Car showSeptember 2nd, 2006 at 02:06 pmThere is going to be a car show down at our old courthouse, on the town square.We are going, driving our 1933 ford victoria. I also have a 778 vette, but i am leaving it at home, cause I don't like to drive at night. Net worthSeptember 1st, 2006 at 06:12 pmThe end of the month, I do a sheet on our net worth. Not really total net worth, but I keep a list of mutual funds, IRA's and stocks and I update the totals once a month. Wow!!September 1st, 2006 at 03:52 pmMy husband was reccommended to a guy that is looking for a builder. Lake lots go for a half mil and up around here, so we knew it would be a nice house. Happy SeptemberSeptember 1st, 2006 at 02:44 pmWell, it is the first day of september. It is still warm, but hopefully, the electric bill will start to go down. I budget $160 a month for it and so far, I have been under budget every month. This month, i was only $5 under budget, but at least I was under! Want to buy an electric car?August 31st, 2006 at 03:14 pmI got a catalog in the mail yesterday, from Hammacher Schlemmer. On the cover is 120mph electric car. You can drive it 40-80 miles on one charge. (Is it 40 or is it 80, big difference??) Boon docks!August 29th, 2006 at 03:49 pmSunday night, we had drinks and watched the sunset at the house we are building. We also watched a bear in the back yard eating berries from a bush. The next morning my husband went to work at the same job, He was laying rock when 2 big bucks just walked up to him. Country living is nice! She asked me how I wanted it!August 24th, 2006 at 03:28 pmI closed a savings account yesterday (almost) and took out the 107K I had in there to take to a bank a block away offering 5.25%.
