tweaking the budget

got it down on paper and hung up on my bedside table. now if rd just pays his part of the car notes and we do not eat we should make it. looks like a tight april is coming up. going to do the write everything down thing this month as i have been wandering off the road lately. used the credit cards too much for kids stuff and now behind. this will be the first time if ever just paid the minimuns, but hopefully will get back on track and need to find a couple hustles this month. i did use some sense on easter though, did not do baskets as i could not afford them. gave out a couple cadbury eggs to my grown ones, the grandkids were left to their parents. have my soup and pudding in my purse for lunch, cocoa in my drawer at work for break.
going ot be a good frugal day.

saving!!

spent only $4.50 today, took my lunch but splurged on the pop(.50). drank cocoa from my desk for breaks, stayed away from the coffee place.. did buy 4 chairs for the yard for $4 (could find them cheap enough at 2nd hand stores--so tried craiglist!)
i am very tired, so going to eat and hit the bed
