    Default Tightwad Tuesday...no spend day

    Since today is "Tightwad Tuesday" I am going to make it a no spend day!!! To keep myself occupied I am going to post here at FV, start cleaning the livingroom and start doing my taxes (ugh).

    I think I'll join you in a no-spend day

    Zippy and I already went to the dog park and I still have to do a load of laundry, vacuum, bake, and whatever else suits my fancy

    Have a great day!

    It's a No Spend Day here, too ... I wanted to run out, but it it less than 20 degrees out today, and I just feel lazy!

    Plus, the baby's napping, and the 2 year old doesn't do well if I go out too close to naptime. So I will just stay in.

    I've been organizing, I need to switch the laundry, and I'm going to start dinner in the Crock Pot.

    No spend day here too.

    It's snowing right now, and it's supposed to snow late into the night, so it looks like another substantial snowfall.

    Dave is going to take Lauren to the dentist tonight. I spent a couple hours putting Lauren's room back together after moving everything around to paint. I hope she'll be happy when she sees it. The only thing I'm afraid of is that Kathryn will want hers done next

    Penne pasta w/ either tomato sauce, pesto sauce, or butter & garlic and salad. I'm hoping to have enough energy to make a homemade French bread. Not sure that's going to happen.

    I still need to vacuum the living room, swiffer & mop the kitchen, and do about 2 more loads of laundry. Can't wait to go to bed tonight!

    No spend day here! I worked, took lunch at the local knitting shop and just knitted my heart out (they provided lunch too!) and then came home!

    Wish I could join you but I'm pretty sure I'll be stopping off for milk on the way home from work. Other than that though I should be able to not spend anything.

    Does paying a bill count? What are the rules for no spend days? Is it no spending at all ? Does paying for budgeted bills count as spending?
