Re: Monday Accountablity Post
1. Friday- $0
Saturday- $30 Walmart

2. We deposited some loose cash from coins and selling stuff. I plan on transfering a few hundred bucks this week to our vacay fund, house fund, and e-fund before I go on vacay next weekend.
3. I really love any place that I can get real seafood. We have some local places by the shore that we frequent in the summer. I love seafood!

Friday - $400 between groceries, new gym shoes, lunch out, and the processing for our pig.
Saturday - $22 on mulch, $4 on coffee creamer, and $13 for ice cream
Sunday - $0
2. Any progress towards goals? Put another $700 into our account to go toward debt. :-)

1. How MM was your weekend?
Our weekend was really pretty good. My sister was off on Friday so we went shopping and I found the outfit for my son's 1st birthday party and pictures which was awesome. We also went out for lunch and both DH and I got gas on Friday. So Friday was $160.
Saturday I ran some errands, we needed new light bulbs for the kitchen and I got some craft supplies for things I"m starting to make for DS's birthday, that all was $40.
Sunday we went to church, had potluck breakfast ($20 donation). So a pretty good weekend. Oh, and we booked a trip for Memorial day weekend- driving out of town, so we just booked the hotel room which for the 3 nights was $600. That was budgetted though.
2. Any progress towards goals? We got our solar screens installed last week and were able to pay cash for them, so that felt great!!!
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at? I don't really have a favorite restaurant, but a favorite style- seafood and sushi. I could go out for that like every day.
1. How MM was your weekend? We ate more food out then we planned, but our grocery trip was a lot cheaper. So we probably evened out on our budget.
2. Any progress towards goals? We were able to save quite a bit again because of Jesse's swing shift paychecks. We are getting a little burned out so we are trying to stay focused and not be hard on ourselves if we spend too much on something we want. We have achieved a lot so far and we just got to keep trying.
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at? I love Mongolian grill!!
1. How MM was your weekend? Pretty good. Saturday - $40 for some new jeans for DH (they were on sale, yay!). Sunday - $15 for a few things from the auto store. Total = $55
2. Any progress towards goals? We changed out the rear brakes/pads on DH's car and replaced the motor & regulator for the passenger window as well. That saved us several hundred dollars, and we decided to put that money towards savings.
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at? I don't really have a favorite, but if I had to choose I'd pick this little Brazilian place nearby--their food reminds me of the stuff my grandma used to cook. I love to eat all sorts of food, but it can be hard to find a restaurant that has a good offering of vegetarian selections (I can only eat so much soup/pasta/salad, haha) so I tend to cook at home a lot.
1. How MM was your weekend? Great! We spent $1 on a used book at a local shop ad I spent $1 on a box of candy cigarettes! YUM
2. Any progress towards goals? We got our tickets to FL for Christmas next year! We budgeted $750 and they only cost us $624 so big savings right there!
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at? The 99 restaurant. It's a New England chain.
Also AW moment for myself! I got my acceptance to the local college and start classes in the fall! Now I just have to figure out which two I want to take first!

*edited because I can't type. Oops!
1. How MM was your weekend?
I went home this weekend(5 hours away) and to a Nationals Game, AND my little sister's baby shower. All of it was budgeted, so I'm pretty proud of that...but I now have no more cushion in my gas envelope until payday.
2. Any progress towards goals?
Not really. I got some money for Easter so that will go into savings.
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at?
Any all-you-can-eat REAL seafood place. The kind with newspaper on the tables and a dock out back that they are unloading crabs from. YUM!
1. How MM was your weekend? Not bad! We had about 20 people over for Easter dinner so I spent $50 at the grocery store and that's it. My FI is back on weekend nights which helps a lot since we don't do anything on the weekends now.
2. Any progress towards goals? Yep! Paid down some debt and put a little money into savings. We're only 25 days from the wedding so aside from MM stuff I finally got my dress fitted and chipping away at shower thank yous from last weekend! I'm really hoping to up my progress towards once this wedding is over. Shew!
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at? Ah this is so hard to decide. I'd have to say Chesapeake Inn, its a local place in MD that my FI and I take our boat to. They have great seafood pizza!
Edited because I apparently can't spell on Monday.
1. How MM was your weekend?
Wasn't bad. I did spend over a few things, but they were reasonable:
Friday: $32 (on groceries and stuff for 2 baskets - $12 over budget, $90 for gas for DH & I)
Saturday: $17.50 for lunch out with mom
Sunday: $63 on lunch out with the family (only $13 over budget)
2. Any progress towards goals?
No progress other than staying in budget.
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at?
I love Ruby Tuesday's. But I love going out to eat anywhere.
1. How MM was your weekend?
- Got 35 dollars worth of groceries for 15 bucks with a coupon. And other then gas money driving all around the western universe car shopping - thats all we spent.
2. Any progress towards goals?
- I have about 1300 dollars in limbo right now until we decide whether we are keeping our cars or getting others. Its going to cars either way.
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at?
-Texas Roadhouse
2. I actually put us back a few months with my suit purchase. I should be getting a promotion soon so I should have this knocked out in a few months. I am one of those people that tend to run numbers in my head and how to balance my income to help out our family budget as needed.
3. MW loves Olive Garden and we both love Hibachi Japan so we tend to go to these places the most when we go out to eat and have extra money to spend.
2. Put some money into our 'baby fund' account.
3. Love Thai food or Japanese.
1. How MM was your weekend? Weekend was normal - groceries ($140), target ($13). However, we have a massive unexpected sewer repair scheduled for Monday. $6,488 and none of it is covered by home owner's insurance or by the village. For those looking for a house that's older (ours was built in the 1920's)- with the inspection, think about having a sewer company come and put a camera down the line.. make sure everything is ok.
2. Any progress towards goals? We're up to date on everything- the repair will come out of our savings account and we'll pay it back.
3. What restaurant is your favorite to eat at? Thai or sushi- any day, everyday.
