The septic tank at the beginning of the month throw us for a financial curve. Me being sick also didn't help. Overall I think we had a good month.
Hi Mcoia you did well and got through most of your list and completed it :).
ReplyDeleteWe did everything on our list other than repair 2 items of clothing and cook 2 roast chickens in the smoker as it was too windy.
Outdid ourselves though on deep cleaning the car which is one of our least favourite jobs and even swept out half the garage while the car was out being washed and cleaned too. The fruit trees are looking a lot healthier in their larger pots and as suspected they were root bound.

You did great. Life happens and gets in the way. We will keep on trying for next month.
DeleteDoing nicely on keeping your food budget well in hand and selling stuff. Is there a designated project for the "Project Fund" proceeds?
ReplyDeleteYes, we are doing our driveway. We have a very narrow driveway and want to widen it plus it needs to be redone. We have to park one of the cars on the grass the way it is right now. We had 2 trees cut done in February that were in the way and hubby and my son have been digging out the roots. We want to get it done in September. There is a 6 week waiting period and it takes about a month to do with them putting the undercoat down and then we need to drive on that for a few weeks. We have most of the money I just want the full amount set aside before we start. It is paid in segments as parts are completed so we don't need the full amount up front.
DeleteI am not expecting to spend the full amount in July on groceries with my garden produce and the 2 kids away for half the month but I put it just in case I come across great deals.
