Hidden Money

April 2nd, 2007 at 04:41 am

Today was a no spend day for us after talking DH out of going out to breakfast. OD was leaving to go home after spring break and she wanted my biscuits anyway...

Then DH was moving our couch to the laminate part of our living room since the carpet is getting cleaned on Tuesday. He found a rolled pack of quarters and some more change under the couch.

$494.97
$ 10.52 found money
$ 20.00 saved not going to breakfast

$525.49 new total

I also made about $700.00 more this month than planned, which will go towards our tax bill.

Back in 1979 I played an April Fool's joke on my husband by having my boss (orthopedic surgeon) put a cast on my arm. I went home and told DH that I had broken my arm at work. I could only stand it overnight and made my boss come in on Saturday and saw the cast off. I am so suspicious that anytime anyone says practically anything to me on April 1, I figure it is a joke.

    Finding hidden money is always nice esp. when it's $10 plus change. Congratulations.

    Tonight I am very glad that I found this site and have
    gotten serious about saving on such a limited amount of
    money that I have charge of. I made it all the way
    thru this month with very little spending. $5.00 to be
    exact. So I had $50 saved in change. I'm so glad I did.

    This evening one of our six cats came home with a very
    bad face injury(bite) from fighting with unknown animal.
    It was most likely either a wild critter(coyote,etc) from
    the game trail that our house is located close to, or
    most likely of all, it was an all out to the death fight
    with a large un neutered gray cat that had been coming
    around here and spraying his scent all our cats'
    territory.

    I felt good about being able to go to my personal money
    can and pull out $20 in quarters if we have to take him
    to a vet and get antibiotics which we probably will
    since one whole side of injured kitty's face is swollen
    up from what looks like a nasty face bite along with bite
    to one of his front paws and most worrisome of all possible injury to one of his eyes.
