has been great so far!!
Our church decided to offer Financial Peace University and it started in the middle of January. We really wanted to take it but dh was off work for all of December due to a hernia surgery, so we just didn't have the money for it. I mentioned it to a friend and she mentioned it to our pastor. The pastor told us that we could barter for the class, so we ended up house and petsitting for them for 2 weeks over christmas. Tomorrow will be week 3 of the course and we are loving it!!
Last week we paid off our smallest credit card!! YAY!! We also put a large payment onto the next one so it should be paid off by the end of February.
Today I called our cell phone carrier and cancelled my phone, saving us $35/month. They also lowered dh's bill by $5/month and when going over the bill they found a mistake on last month's bill so we will be getting a $33.39 credit on our next bill.
Then I called our home phone/internet provider and they lowered our bill by $10/month.
When the moms came to pick up their kids one of them asked me to make some cookies to sell her this week. I also have 2 orders for wedding cakes, 1 in May and 1 in June.
I am so excited about all the extra amounts that I will be able to put towards debt. I just had too share with people that will get it.
