During the past week

  • we drove to Etobicoke to have our 'Money Rules' book autographed by Gail Vaz - Oxlade.
  • paid off the balance on the credit card for the month
  • went to the bank to see Suzy, and get her to set up (and fix) monthly and bi-weekly transfers to RRSP, RESP and Down payment fund
  • drove to Sarnia, Ontario and back for work
  • jumped ahead on my 52 Week Savings Challenge and got all the deposits for January done
  • went back to the bank and got accounts set up for Hubby so both of us will have access to everything (in preparation of him closing his TD accounts)
  • took the plunge and added Hubby as joint on all my accounts, and he added me on his
  • kept kids home from school Friday, even though it wasn't until 8 a.m. that I knew for certain that schools were open ((Elementary teachers strike/walk-outs and/or protests)
  • managed to get two loads of laundry done (folded even!)
  • went to Windsor, Ontario to see Bill Engvall do his stand-up routine
  • spent the night at Ceasars Windsor casino and spent time with our best friends
  • DD2 went to the first rehearsal/group meeting with Western Young Winds program
  • DD1 went and enrolled in adult education classes (a step toward getting her HS diploma)
  • I walked with Cub to school 4/5 days this week
  • I spent some time knitting my cowl (need more of this!)
  • spent lots of time with Hubby talking about the budget - savings goals and bills

I think I'll spend the day at home today, doing more laundry and maybe venturing as far as the grocery store. It's been a busy but productive week. I'm going to aim for 4 blog posts this week, other than this one.

How was your week?

      We have made a trek to see Gail at least once per year for the last 4 years. Most definitely worth the cost of gas. :)

    I'm curious to know which total you were aiming to put in the sealed pot this week.

      I was aiming for $3 (week 2 of the challenge) but I added $3, $4 and $52 (weeks 2,3 and 4).
      That will give me some breathing room should one week somewhere down the line I am unable to add to the pot.
