    Spent $20 to meet some people and get something to eat. $7.99 for a door twin draft guard which is being returned. So I guess $20.

    Thank goodness you didn't ask for the month. I have spent money on a new vacuum, bedding and perfume this month. Way more than I even planned. So Merry Christmas to me, early.

    Well Nothing so far...but about $180 will be charged onto my credit card....for Nintendo DS repairs for both of my boys DS's....Ugghhh...Oh well, cheaper than buying the two of them new ones! I guess it's not bad considering they have had them 2 years and this is the first time I have had to have them repaired, and it's nothing major but might as well have it done, so they can continue to enjoy them!

    I spent $10.36 at Joann Fabrics for a few Christmas things- that's all and I am so proud of myself! BTW- I got 3 ornaments for gifts, 5 squares of fimo clay (to make a few christmas presents), a wilton candy mold for making Christmas soaps and raffia ribbon for the gifts!

    About $80 on groceries, including meat for stockpile, and some smoked salmon, dip, and crackers for Thanksgiving.

    $30 to tank up the car.

    About $50 at Home Depot for new holiday lights, hooks to hang the ladder in the garage, and masonry bits to get them into the cinder block wall.

    And DH did some gift shopping online but he's not telling.

    I spent $330.00 today at samsclub. I had all three of my fellas with me and I bought them pretty much anything they wanted. My two oldest fellas made merit and honor roll on their report card as well they were both in the school play and this past Friday and saturday was show time for them..it was really cool to see both my boys ok stage preforming together..they worked hard for 6 weeks to prepare for this all along getting good grades and let's not forget that they were real sick with the swine flu that I never posted about...missing a week of school..anyway it was worth the money I spent on them which was new jammies..new boxers...a couple new heavy flannel shirts.. A new wii game...gum..drinks of their choice and the items that I needs to stockup on..

    You guys are just going to flip when you read this. It's crazy.

    I paid late fees to my library. 160 bucks worth. Yeah. 160. Not 16. Or 1.60. One hundred and sixty dollars.

    Part of it was paying for a dvd set that my toddler took out of hte case and put under her feet to slide around on. I almost cried when I caught her doing it.
