Better finances
Star this Commitment
Week 14 of 14
LinneaH commits to:
Continue the good work from previous commitments. Feels necessary in these harder times. Also, I want to be able to continue saving some money (even if not a lot) to be able to do things w/the kids and spend on what is important to me (good food, time w/friends, time off from work etc).
Will add specifics for certain time periods in the comments. In general: bring lunch from home most of the time, no/low unnecessary driving, shopping & eating out. Focus on no/low cost fun stuff w/the kids.

It's been a pretty good week, so a yes. Brought lunch all days when in the office. Spent a lot on food/groceries , but not a lot on eating out, so that's good. Had a good weekend, had to eat out due to reasons out of my control, but only $9 so not too bad. No shopping during weekend. Bought clothes for DS2, which was absolutely necessary and got 3-for-2 items. He's growing :-D. Had to buy a phone charger, cost $17 as I got a longer and not the cheapest. Hope it will last for some time. Also had to buy some medical stuff, I am waiting for my special equipment, but it will take a couple of weeks more, and this will be fine for now, and will be back-up later on. Cost $19. Did not buy stuff at the flea market. Had to pay for some things where I should be refunded from a relative, but a bit unsure if this will be the case. If not, this is ok, as it was something good for DS1. |

Three days at work last week, brought lunch every day. Driving to see relatives, v.expensive but necessary. Will also go next weekend as relative cannot travel. Have said that I cannot go three weekends in a row and it was ok. $10 wine, not necessary but a sanity saver. Eating at McD once w/kids, could possibly have been avoided, but was due to last minute travel changes bc of ill relatives (out of my control), so it's ok. Did a fun activity w/friend: $40, so worth it! Outdoors, moving, social. She had the experience, I have some, but couldn't have arranged this. But now I also can, if I want to go w/o her. |
