It's sunny and it's Sautrday!

It's the first sunny Saturday we've had in a while! Makes my heart sing! Plus, it's yard sale season, and I'm off looking for some books today.

Money spent so far this week- 25.00 at a resturaunt ( Tuesday), 20.00 on smokes ( yep), 10 @ the vet, 5.00 for coffee, 47.00 for season passes at National park ( I bought two),  51.00 at Wal mart. 55.00 for gas.

I made 65.00 at my part time job last night, so I'm at 165/400 so far ( not including wages).  I work two shifts next week-end, so I have the potential to meet my goal. :)

I'm on a self imposed ban from wal-mart for the rest of the summer. Too often, I go in for one or two things and end up leaving with a armful of junk food, plus the things I wanted/needed, so for the rest of the summer I'm staying out of there.

I do need a few things at the grocery store ( milk, veggies and fruit, plus a bit of meat), so I'll go later and pick these things up.

I'll need to mow the lawn after, plus a few other things, like the never ending laundry, and a 30 minute tidy, sweep dust and I should be set for the week! Add in a walk(16/14) and I'm good!

I'm going to need a major spurt of enegry tonight!

My contract for the real estate agent is done tomorrow night. Guess who has a showing at 6:00 tomorrow night? Me. Guess whose house looks like a tip right now? Mine. Guess who'll be staying up late cleaning tonight? me. Guess who has herself overbooked for tomorrow? me

I'll make my cleaning plan at work today, start tonight at around 8:30, clean and tidy for a few hours, then do the same thing tomorrow for a few hours and then relax. I won't get my hopes up, but lesson learned.... keep the house cleaned ( it's not that bad, just overwhelming right now). Now I must go and tidy the bathroom, one thing will be ticked off the list!

The dog has had 11/9 walks,  I spent 12.00 on groceries on Saturday, and spent nothing on Sunday. Happy Monday all!

Rainy Saturday

It's raining again ( tropical storm Andrea), so no yard sales for me this week-end.  :(

My goals are going good. I've spent since Thursday 80.08 on sneakers, 85.00 on groceries, 40 on supper, 10 on cigarettes, 17.00 on annuals and soil...  I'll most likely go the grocery store again this week, as coffee is on sale, and if I get two more cans I'll be set for the summer and into the early fall.

I work at my PT job Friday night, so fingers crossed I make another 100 to add to my pot. My bills are now all current and I still have money in my wallet and in my bank account.

We're now officially at 9/7 walks. I went on a hike on Thursday like planned and what a work out.   I haven't done that trail in about 10 years and it was hard. The dog had quite the work out too! I weighted myself yesterday and I'm down 4 lbs since mid April. I even had shorts on yesterday that I couldn't wear last summer, so I was excited.

I'll be watching my dad on Tuesday morning, and I want to do a few things here, so I'll bring his small oxygen tank and he can supervise my gardening.

Today, I'm going to do laundry, some general cleaning and spend about 30 minutes working on DD's bedroom. Add a dog walk, a visit with my goddaughter and a yummy supper ( asparagus, roasted potatoes and some kind of protein).

Enjoy your week-end everyone!

June 6th...

So far the goals for this month...
walked the dog 7/5 times... ( walking the dog as soon as get home after night shifts worked this week, then add another walk in the afternoon)
I made 100/400 so far ( I got paid from my PT job yesterday, 140, but not sure if I should count it in), if so 240/400).
Spent 12.00 out of pocket so far this month ( I'll be spending money today however).
House work- nope, thought about it, but didn't start yet.
 and this is my third blog spot this week!

I'm joining the gym this week ( 135/3 months), as I want to build muscle now. I'll be paying cash for this. I'm going to mow the lawn this morning, and I have a hair appointment this morning too. It's been 3 months since I had a cut, so I'm excited. The dog and I, plus one of my BFF's and her dog are going to venture off for a hike this afternoon, and I may even go out for lunch. Add a few groceries and I should be good for the week!

Hope everyone is having a great week.

So far so good...

Goals for June
1. walked the dog the past two nights.
2.  didn't spend a dime.
3. didn't start yet.
4. Fingers crossed that I make a good dent this week. ( I should add that I cashed out  time I had in the bank at work, is giving me an extra 800, but I"m looking to add an extra 400 on top of this!)
5. Blogged twice so far...


Now, I must go and did some housework, plus walk the dog and get motivated to mow the lawn! Plus add a nap to the mix and then I'll be off to work for night number 1.

Goals for June:

1. Walk the dog 30 times ( minimum 30 minutes per walk).
2. Track every cent that comes in and goes out. Cash is king ( cut up Visa #2).
3. Spring clean 2 rooms. ( My bedroom and DD's room).
4. Make 400.00 in extra cash.
5. Blog 3 times a week.

I think this is a very doable list! My hardest part will be Number 2...  Wish me luck...

It's mid-week and...

I've been up since 6:00, as the dog decided that it was time for me to get up.  By 7:05, we were out the door for our walk.  We walked for an hour ( we're on target for 26/31), and now I have a load of laundry in and shortly will start doing some much needed cleaning.

I worked at my PT job last night and my section was busy. I cleared 100 after tip out and I was pretty excited! I work again tonight, and I'd like to bring home another 100...

 The dog made his bi-weekly vet visit yesterday and he is down 5 lbs since Christmas! The dog is off to the groomers this morning for a bath and nail clipping. It's  $30.00  and for me, it's a decision I made a while back, that it's money well spent. The last time I took the dog to the self serve pet washed, he jumped off the table, while being tied to the table. It scared me, as he had was pretty close to being hung. The groomers he goes to are fantastic and they are busy! The two ladies usually have 3-4 dogs on the go at any time.

Now, I must get off the computer and start cleaning floors... I want to have all the floor washed up this morning, mow the lawn and a couple more loads of laundry done today, while the sun is shining. Plus I'd like to get a bit of weeding done.
