We have been doing pretty good with not spending a lot on extras this pay period, I have been tracking where we spend every penny and every dime that comes in or we transfer from savings. I'm still way over in restaurants and hope to be able to drop this down somewhat in the next month.
On the down side, our dishwasher died and we had to have a new one replaced. DH and I removed the old one but we just couldn't figure out how to replace it so we had to have someone do it for us. And this was an expense we didn't want to pay new dishwasher + install fees, but we had no choice.
We did have the money in a home maintenance sinking fund so we did have all the money we needed to pay for this although its depleted and will need to be replaced.
We also had a pet problem, one of our dogs has bad ears and we had to take her to the vet and $300 dollars later she has medications, ear wash, ear drops and has to be seen again in 2 weeks to see if they all help.
Thus far it's been an expensive past 2 weeks although we did have money for all of the above in sinking funds, it's never fun to watch all the money sift through your hands and know you have to replace it a little bit at a time....
