Beat my goal by 2 days...yay, yay, yay! I was going to have October have 12 no spend days, but I'm now rethinking I should push myself to do 15. Oh, well, I have a day to decide!

Work was slow last night. Made it to 3:15 and dashed out. Got up this morning, took ds5 to gymnastics, brought him home, picked up dd9 at school, brought her home for lunch, made myself lunch, took ds and dd to dd's ortho appt., dropped her back at school, brought ds home and fed him lunch and made pizza dough for homemade pizza tonight. At 2:30 I'm going to pick up the kids from school because it is pouring rain today! Dd is going camping with her Girl Guide Group for the weekend and it's supposed to rain all weekend. I hate camping in the rain...glad I'm not going. Dd is looking forward to it. She doesn't care if it rains or not.

I'm working 4:00-12:00 tonight but I'll leave early if I get all my work done.

Things I did today to save money:
1) Vetoed dh's suggestion to go out for breakfast. (yes, again!)
2) Am making homemade pizza for dinner, will have enough for lunches for tomorrow.
3) Will take last night's leftovers for me for tonight...ooh, clearing out the fridge AND saving money!
4) Brought coffee from home to have during gymnastics, although I was thinking about Starbucks.
I think that was it for today...

I decided on a few more envelopes for October, so now I have:
Groceries 375.00
Clothes 60.00
Entertainment 90.00
Gifts (not Xmas) 35.00
School Misc. 20.00
Hair/Make up 15.00
Miscellaneous 20.00
Dh is on his own with 200.00 for the month, so this is for me and 3 kids. For anyone who already uses the envelope system, any advice? Do these amounts sound practical? I guess I'm about to find out...
