Re: Tuesday Poll :)
On a scale of 1-10, (1-crap and 10-perfect) how is your marriage/relationship right now? 8-9. It would be a 10 if we could spend more alone time together. That's been difficult with a newborn and I'm working after the boys lay down.
How much fun money do you allow yourself each month? $60. It's been more lately though because I have sucked at sticking to our budget.
When's the last time you did something for yourself and what was it? I got Starbucks for myself this morning! (see above, haha)
When did you last get some sexy time? Last night. I must have really wanted it because H is sick!
What's for lunch/dinner? Don't know what's for lunch. Dinner will be turkey chili that H made last night.
On a scale of 1-10, (1-crap and 10-perfect) how is your marriage/relationship right now? 6. TTC and job-related stress are taking a toll on me lately.
How much fun money do you allow yourself each month? I don't really have a budget. It's something I've talked about wanting to set up, b/c I tend to spend more than H. On average, I probably spend $150/mo.
When's the last time you did something for yourself and what was it? About a month ago, I used a gift card to buy myself an hour-long massage at Cottonwood in Edmond. It was as awesome as it sounds.
On a scale of 1-10, (1-crap and 10-perfect) how is your marriage/relationship right now? Hmmm, 7, maybe? We have a super awesome great time together, but I think there may be long-term compatability issues. Trying to work them all out.

What's for lunch/dinner?

9.9 My only complaint is that I don't get to see him enough.

it's pretty terrible, but I don't really know. I buy what we want/need and consider the current state of our bank account / other plans, but I don't really budget fun money.

How much fun money do you allow yourself each month? Whatever is left over from paying bills. We don't actually have a set allowance. We pay all the bills first and if we have extra money left over and there is something that is I want to buy then I buy it. But I always look forward to see what bills are needing to be paid next time before I purchase.

What's for lunch/dinner? It's free pizza day at work. I'm bringing a Honeycrisp apple and raw red pepper to try to make it at least a little healthier. I won't be home until 10:30 tonight, so who knows what's for dinner. Something fast from the fridge.
On a scale of 1-10, (1-crap and 10-perfect) how is your marriage/relationship right now? 9. I'll never say "10" because no one is perfect, but I'm very happy.
How much fun money do you allow yourself each month? $100 pocket money each but we don't use that for meals out together or personal care/clothing. We don't have a set budget for those things, but we're not lavish spenders, either.
When's the last time you did something for yourself and what was it? I took a nap yesterday from 6-8pm. I know that sounds insane as a "something for yourself" but you know how I love my sleep!
When did you last get some sexy time? The last time DH was off work
On a scale of 1-10, (1-crap and 10-perfect) how is your marriage/relationship right now? I won't say 10 because things could always be better, but I'd say a 9.
How much fun money do you allow yourself each month? Gosh I don't even want to know. We don't set a limit but I know we should.
When's the last time you did something for yourself and what was it? Does running count? I'd probably say the 11k I did this past weekend. Running is such a stress reliever for me. And that feeling of accomplishment afterwards was sooooo awesome!

How much fun money do you allow yourself each month? I get $50 for "hobby money." Basically anything I want- we budget for meals, going out, getting my hair done, etc elsewhere in the budget... so this is just for random craft projects, clothes, etc. We have a $50/weekend budget for fun stuff we do together.
When's the last time you did something for yourself and what was it? Hmmmmmm.... Yeah, I have no idea. The last time I treated myself to like a pedicure was before our vacation in JUNE.

When's the last time you did something for yourself and what was it? I took Friday off and we went out to eat and shopping. We shopped for others, but it's the only way I really enjoy shopping.
