Kind of blew it!

Well this month debt reduction and frugality went a bit off. My new grand daughter was born on the third and I spent the last week at my DD helping to care for her, baby, the new daddy and the big sister! I spent a ton... Nothing that the kids asked for, just things I bought to help them out and because I wanted to! Now I need to get back on the band wagon for the rest of the month. So..... I pledge to stay out of the stores, to avoid babies R us and toys r us at all costs, to cook from scratch and to stick to the holiday budget. Ladies, remind me of this as the month progresses please! LOL

Shall do.

It was a lovely way to spend you hard earned dollars though.

It was a wonderful way to spend your money. We all splurge at one time or another.

Congratulations on the new granddaughter! You should be proud of your generous spirit. Today is a new day for you and your frugality!

Congrats on the new grandaughter!!!

...I would think of it as money well spent!

I'm with everyone else...if you are going to spend money, that's a perfectly good reason to do it.

And getting back on the bandwagon shouldn't be too hard...we're here to help.

I think I'd be splurging too......Congrats on the new granddaughter.

Well I can't think of a better way to blow the budget

CONGRATS on the new Grandbaby!

Congratulations on your new Granddaughter~!

I've had the same problem buying baby stuff! My DB and SIL are expecting their first and some friends just had a boy.

I agree with others, what a wonderful gift!

Congratulations on the new granddaughter.

Thanks all! She is a little beauty and I am so thrilled with her. But tonight I kept my promise and did NOT stop at any stores even though I was sorely tempted!
