2. We put in an offer on my favorite house! It's in a very cool small city, has an open floor plan and a fireplace, and actually has a quarter acre lot! It also has a fenced in yard (key because I want to adopt a dog and the agencies like that) and ginormous basement. I'm in love, and waiting to hear back is totally dragging. It's in the middle of our price range, so it will allow to to keep up with our goals well.
3. Kinder eggs! They're amazing chocolate eggs with little toys inside. They're banned as a choking hazard in the US, but we gorged on them during our trip.
1. How MM was your weekend?
Pretty good - we spent some money going out to eat but it was with 3 different groups of friends.
2. Any progress towards goals?
On Friday we saved some extra money that we'll put towards the mortgage at the end of the month.
3. What's your favorite candy?
Skittles
1. How MM was your weekend? Pretty good. Groceries $180, Thai on Saturday $20,Target $25. Took the girls to the park to play Friday night, DH's parents' house Saturday night to have dinner and visit, and ran errands on Sunday.
2. Any progress towards goals? Set up 2 529 plans for the girls ($5,000 each), added $5,000 ($2,500 each) to our Roths for 2014. Will contribute the other $6,000 ($3,000 each) in November.
3. What's your favorite candy? Really dark chocolate
1. How MM was your weekend? Weekend was pretty good. Ate out once for $30, and got a few things for grocery on Sunday for $20.
2. Any progress towards goals? nope, not right now.
3. What's your favorite candy? Right now I'm loving the dark chocolate covered blueberries/ acia/ cherries, that type of thing.
1. How MM was your weekend? Really good, wife was tired and worked all weekend and I was sick with bronchitis that knocked me out. We did get Chinese, but wife paid for it out of her account.
2. Any progress towards goals? Just trying not to spend too much money since we will need extra in December. May have to get DS glasses this fall also.
3. What's your favorite candy? I love bridge mix, have all my life but I don't buy it since I eat the whole bag in one sitting.
1. How MM was your weekend?
It was a very spendy weekend, but it was budgeted. Spent $110 on groceries, $83 total on gas, about $300 on a Terror Convention and $77 on dog items (we are picking up a puppy on Saturday!)
2. Any progress towards goals?
We finally got our State Refund and placed that in our savings account. We are putting 3/4 of that money towards our puppy, so it is worth it to us. The remainder will stay in that account.
3. What's your favorite candy?
Milky Ways! But in all, anything that has caramel in it.
1. How MM was your weekend? Pretty good... $10 on Friday for Food for the weekend, made a big batch then ate leftovers all weekend instead of going out, $2 on Saturday to buy some candy to take to a friend's house to watch a movie. She wanted to go to the movies, but I convinced her to stay home, save money and do candy/popcorn there since there was nothing that either of us were dying to see, and $30 on Sunday for Groceries for the week and some cleaning supplies for my move. Not too bad overall!
2. Any progress towards goals? Yep...paid off two loans which frees up $48 a month for my snowball.
3. What's your favorite candy? I go back and forth between junior mints and milk duds depending on my mood. Twizzlers are a close second/third though.
Groceries $80, Father's Day/grad/birthday gifts $100, gas $45. Everything was budgeted for but seriously June is a horrible month in the gift department!
2. Any progress towards goals?
Not really. Made $350 via yard sale and Craigslist. Still trying to figure out where it will go.
3. What's your favorite candy?
Twix!
:-)
I'm late coming to this but oh well.
1. How MM was your weekend? I thought we did good. Our tuition for puppy obedience class was due $100, but we had that budgeted for and it's a 2 month class so it's not too bad. We did buy some dog treats ($5) as a reward for the pup since he did pretty good on his first day of class.
2. Any progress towards goals? We were able to put an extra $200 away in savings--we're planning on re-doing our master bathroom in a year or so and want to pay cash for it.
3. What's your favorite candy? I'm actually not a big fan of candy, although on occasion I will eat caramel if it's there. Or Reese's. Yummy!
Congrats on the puppy!
