We are going to swim lessons and then to decorate for a fund raiser at church. Not doing too much to save money other than not spend it today.

Whoa, Scarlett, I got tired just reading your long list!!

I'm gonna do some cleaning in the living room and family room.

Going to the grocery store later today. Out of milk, bread, staples.

No, kidding, Scarlette! You must sleep hard at night, busy friend!

I did hang some clothes on the line. So I am saving some money that way.

Kids and I are tidying up the house before we get on with our day.

Already done: dishwasher, packed up DH's breakky/lunch/coffee and dropped him at work, folded some laundry - still folding actually

while watching tv.

Still to do: go to the mall to finish hunting out the perfect 'frugal'ish' gift for the last person we're visiting this weekend. Hopefully start wrapping the gifts tonight!

Woke up late. Not feeling too well today. Working on needlepoint pillow today. I need to bag all the alumininum and tin cans to sell tomorrow. I will probably use the money to buy me a new book to read. I must cook tonight since I haven't cooked in a few days. Other than that I am taking it easy.

**Luv2BeFrugal** · 08-09-2011, 06:23 PM

Dh is working late...I'm home all day. He took leftovers for lunch...I'll have leftovers for dinner.

Cleaned the bathroom, did the floors, did dishes/counters, vacuumed. Place is looking ship-shape!

I'm still working on my computer project...making progress.

No drive, no spend day... I like those!

**Imarachne** · 08-09-2011, 07:39 PM

Making a new list of 100 ways I can save money. I do it every 6 months or so.

**Scarlett** · 08-09-2011, 09:22 PM

Everything done on my list except for shower and I'll do that first thing in the morning. : )

@missyali ... nope, no sleeping hard for me 'cuz I've got a sleep disorder and also sleep apnea which I guess is a sleep disorder too, huh? lol To be honest, I never feel like I've slept and it totally sucks.

Had to get those things done though [we have our bi-annual inspections tomorrow for our apartments.] Hopefully I remembered everything I needed to do.
