    Default I don't know how I did it ...........

    but I did. I sat down to figure out Septembers bills and .......... there are no bills to pay other than the mortgage at the end of the month. We will have a full pay check with nothing coming out. Now we can finally finish the shed my dh is building and I'll get my canning room back since thats where everything is stored .I am so happy!!!!!

    Are we sure today is Monday? I just found out that I am able to get Emergency Unemployment. I called and they credited me with 6 weeks plus another 7. Not alot but it sure will help out. Look out meat department here I come.

    We are very fortunate to not have any debts other than the normal utilities and mortgage thanks largely in part to this forum. A few months ago I signed up for CAP program through the utility companys and they put me on a set payment that has to be paid by the due date evey month. The only thing I don't like is if I have any extra I can't pay more than the stated amount but it is a managable amount. 52.00 for gas and 30.00 for electric. I think this is how I got things under control as my dh can't let a dime hit the bottom ofhis pocket without spending it lol. I bake everything from scratch and have only bought one loaf of bread in the past two years for mountain pies.And Ya know I think our basement actually did blow up from the looks of it.
