After I get off of work I plan to get the following things done:

- Cook dinner
- Clean up after dinner
- Get one load of laundry done
- Fold some clothes that have been hanging dry
- I need to get a start on the weekends cleaning because I am working at my 2nd job a bunch this weekend. I am going to aim to get the great room straightened, dusted and vacuumed.
- After I get bored with cleaning I will work on my quilt and watch a little TV.

**Momto2Boyz** · 02-19-2009, 03:27 PM

I haven't done much today. Had a friend over and made soap and that was about it. I've cleaned up most of the soapmaking stuff, but I still need to do dishes and think about dinner! I'll hit the gym tonight, but probably won't get much else done today!

**jettsmom** · 02-19-2009, 03:48 PM

not much going on here. Life has been fairly frugal for the past month. I can't get out much because of a hand injury, so I'm spending almost no money. Dh does spend a bit more on food than I'd like, but hey, he's cooking.

got a few things done today. Homeschooled the kids, cleaned the house top to bottom (I find the more often I do it the less time it takes), cleaned out the dog lots, and all the regular stuff. DH spent his day at the dr's office, so that was co-pay plus cost of prescriptions, but not too bad all together. Tomorrow will be my busy day.

**angelbumpkin** · 02-19-2009, 09:43 PM

Did what little I had to do. I have one little one getting over the flu, one with a fever and the last in a daze because we just had to change his meds.

So rest is what I plan to do.

No spend day today... Drove to school and straight home. Took nalgene bottles with water for beverage and a pb&j sandwich for lunch. We're eating odds'n'ends for supper so things don't go to waste... Fairly frugal day.
