Thrifty Thursday

**MyMelody** · 01-28-2010, 07:16 AM

So what's going on today, FV'ers? We're now downhill towards the weekend! My Thursday's gonna be a bit busy w/ work, a trip to the store for some necessary items (TP, cat food), and probably a workout. Have a great day!

I have to go to Algebra and Small Group Communications classes today. Dinner is homemade potato soup, salad, and biscuits. Younger daughter has Girl Scouts tonight, and since I'm the leader, that means that the girls are coming over here tonight.

Need to study for Anatomy, do laundry, and have the kids put away their things lying around the house.

Can't wait until Friday, no classes

I just made an appt to have my work phone line put in and I also called the cable co to get rid of HBO. I never watch it.. PLUS when I learned I could use my PS3 to watch my live streaming movies, it sealed the deal.

I need to work on some certifications, laundry, kitchen clean up, and plan dinner.

Good morning! I have to work this afternoon. This morning I'll need to get some paperwork done and tidy up the house. Have a great day everyone.

I am dealing with a house issue. Workman are coming today to give me a price. One came yesterday and gave me a price of about $1000. Need to run to yds school to speak with the guidence conselor and then back to wait for the workman. A fun day NOT

Whew, what a week! I went to work yesterday and sat down with a cup of coffee at my desk for approximately 15 minutes and then my cell phone rang. It was the school, my youngest was running a temp! So back home I went. I wish I could say I was super productive, but I was too disorganized to focus on anything. Ugh, I hate those days. I did, however, talk to Directv and got my bill lowered $20 a month, so I guess that was definitely productive! lol

Today will be kids off to school, and myself off to work. Hopefully! My paycheck will be taking all sorts of hits this pay period due to all the sicknesses. Tonight I may attend a library board meeting, but that's up in the air. The road to the small town has a bad mountain pass to go through, and I just don't know if I'm up for that today.

I need to start catching up on laundry again, and there are a couple of bills I HAVE to pay today. I am so ready for the weekend!

I'm staying home today. Will do taxes for a friend later tonight. Coloring my hair at home, can't see spending $100 for something I can do for $3. Need to organize files for 2010. Shred papers too. Gather info to change address. The city decided to change us from Drive to Street. Now my mail is being sent back. Got a call from one cc because of returned mail. They were very nice especially when I told them I did make a payment, although not enough. They will resend bill and catch up then. I'll start with the bank tomorrow.

Well, I'm gonna sit here & watch the SNOW fall, feel the temps drop in the house, (freezin to single digits 2nite) & wishin I had a piece of homemade cake with a cup of coffee.

Sounds like I need an attitude adjustment ....LOL

Today I'm working at my second job (part-time job).
Already had tonight's dinner cooked, just need to re-heat it, cook some veg, then we are all set.
Need to fill out my partial unemployment claim.
Pay a few bills by on-line banking.

Went for walk, stopped at thrift store to buy spring and summer tops. Found one that I really like.

Came home and shortened the strap on one bra. Have three more bras to shorten.

Need to straighten the place up.

Wrap some presents up for easter.

Exercise a little with weights.

Kinda slept in today - wasn't feeling too hot when I woke up so I snoozed. Went for a last minute lunch with former coworkers - nice to catch up and was treated to lunch

Very nice treat! Splurged on a flavoured coffee on my way home too.

Now onto more paperwork for my dad, need to vacuum the lv rm/bd rm and hallway and to clean the bathroom. Also need to track my spending - been very slack on it lately

End of Jan is fast approaching, need to see where I keep spending my $ so I can cut back...my guess...eating out lol.

Okay, so my day did NOT go as planned. My boss called for me to cover her in a meeting she forgot about before I ever made it to work, and it felt like I was just putting out fires most of the day. Not really as effective as I would have liked to have been! I got a little paperwork done, but that was it. The temp dropped a LOT here, so I stayed in and ate a can of soup instead of exercising or going to the store. Still a thrifty Thursday, though!
