I am totally a hypocrite. I posted a few weeks ago that I couldn’t foresee myself getting a smart phone and how I didn’t want to be connected all the time. And how I enjoyed my simple, old, Krzr. Well, I am getting a smart phone. Ha! Not because I want to be connected for [...]
I do. I feel really unorganized today. And I don’t like that feeling at all. I have so much I want to fill you in on, but not enough time in the day to sit down and write a post. I haven’t done a ‘real’ grocery shop in the last 2 weeks, but have [...]
Well right now I have a few things on my wants/needs list. Some things can wait, some things don’t even need to be purchased and some things I definitely need. First up we have an external hard drive. I need this. Desperately. One day my 5-year-old desktop is going to die and I would be [...]
I think I need to photocopy our cheque from doing the paper route and place copies of it anywhere and everywhere. Just as a reminder that it’s WORTH IT! Summer is over – did you know? I sure found out this morning. Leaving my warm bed this morning and facing -8 weather was the last [...]
Originally when H and I made our wedding budget we decided that we wanted to spend around $2,000 on our honeymoon. Originally we decided to go to Vancouver Island for 2 or 3 nights, staying in a beautiful resort right on the ocean. Well, as always, things are changing. We have decided to go on [...]
I said it last year and I will say it this year. H and I do not exchange Christmas gifts. * gasp * H and I celebrate Christmas. We do. We have turkey dinner, we decorate our condo with Christmas decorations that were purchased second hand, we drive around and look at all the done [...]
..without going into debt!! That’s right baby, cash all the way! Our ceremony, dinner and honeymoon is only going to cost us $5,000! Which still brings a smile to my face. During coffee with some friends the other day, I was telling them my plans. Of course they boo’d the idea of not being able [...]
With essentially 3 months until Christmas, I have decided that I better get my plans organized. We decided last Christmas that this year we didn’t want to spend any money on gifts and wanted to focus our time, energy and money on family. Which is what Christmas is all about, anyway. H and I come [...]
I dropped H off at his new job this morning. Good news is, he will be bringing home around $200-$400 more!! This will make saving for that wedding and honeymoon, THAT much easier! Since I have the apartment to myself this week, I have a few things I want to get done: Clean, clean CLEAN! [...]
This whole tracking your spending is an eye opener, that’s for sure!! Sigh. We knew this past weekend was going to be more expensive than usual. On Saturday, H and I went out to celebrate our engagement. We drove up to Whistler, BC (where the 2010 winter Olympics are being held) and really enjoyed the [...]
