    Well, it's a no spend day, for one thing....LOL.

    Going to do a little kitchen cleaning...and some vacuuming in the family room.

    Laundering our bedding today.

    Exciting. I'm excited.

    I'm going in now to get the sheets off the bed, and wash them, then hang them out.

    I also need to vacuum and dust.

    I wish it was a no spend day for me. It will be a spend a lot day instead.

    We took mil's dog to the vet to be spayed. They are on a limited income, so we will pay for it. Since I'm already there and it's almost the end of the month, I'll pick up the heartworm/flea pills for my two dogs and mil's. I'll spend close to $200 today. But it's worth it. The dog will be calmer and won't be having babies and we haven't had fleas in over 12 years.

    I do need to pick up a couple of things. I'll check my coupons, it maybe cheaper at walmart instead of sams.

    I'm not feeling well today, so the most I will probably accomplish is feeding the dog and making the bed. Maybe wash some socks.

    Not a very exciting day for me. It consisted of:
    • doing laundry
    • attempting to vacuum (the vacuum died, my handy father is going to take a look at it)
    • eating leftovers (again...I'm so tired of leftovers but I'm single and on a "grocery freeze")
    • packing up some meals to freeze for when I'm working
    • transferring money to my savings account (LOVED that part of the day!)


    I'm headed to a friend's to watch Glee and then, once I'm back home, I'll have a nice bath, read for a bit and head to bed.
    I want to kill my mortgage! 192,391/197,370 (since July 2011)

    I'm attempting to live by the principles of The Compact in 2012. Wish me luck!

    2012 Financial goals
    • make an extra $15k over and above any flying pay (1705/15000)
    • pay an extra $1750 off my mortgage (557/1750)
    • bring EF back to $10k - $3533 left to save
    • avoid lifestyle inflation
    • improve investment plan (change accounts) - *grumble grumble* Bank made a mistake, need to re-do paperwork

    The Financial Goals I've achieved:
    increased RSP contribution to $300/mth, posted budget on FV for review, saved $1600 to go on vacation
