I'm concerned about my progress, given my long trip, but need to stay focused. What about you? What do you have teed up to accomplish in September?
That does make it difficult to stay on budget being away for so long. We had an expensive eating out month in August, went over on groceries and had an expensive electricity bill. I hope to lower all of those and to sock away more money for Christmas and our medical fund plus sell off more items for our weekend away in October. Life is busy here - I know you know exactly all about that as yours seems even busier than ours!
ReplyDeleteTwelve days-so long, but planning ahead (I'm all about trying to plan-succeed or fail) should be helpful. IS it getting cool yet that you can have lots of soup and bread stocked up? Maybe I remember reading that you are the only soup liker in your family though? Well, best of luck with your goals.
