I didn’t exactly meet my savings goals for March, but I DID meet my snowflake and debt goals! Yesterday I flaked just enough to whatever-bill-I-paid-that-day to get us to $59,999. We started Jan 1, 2009 with over 92k in debt, so can I just say that the 50s rock? =c) I also wanted to flake [...]

Weekly Flake Update
Well, sort of. I can’t even remember what my total flakes were this week, but my Feb total is now $1088 and my YTD total is $1518. I have another $1500 flake going out within a couple of weeks, which will bring me SO close to having debt under 60k! (Well, within $612 of it [...]

Progress, Finally!
I’m feeling pretty daggone good right now! I just scored my favorite pants on sale, and now I’m done clothes shopping for myself for the YEAR! (No, really, I doubt I’ll buy another thing for myself – I have my annual routine down, LOL). I spent my gift card after Christmas but only got one [...]

Mortgage Covered!
Yay! See how easy I am to entertain? LOL. Anyway, with that flake I threw in with it our flakes topped 20k for the year. That number came with a heck of a fight, but we DID it. It doesn’t feel like things are any easier, but with our tax return we’ll be in much [...]

Party Budget Blues
Yeah, sure. $150. Oh, boy, am I ever flippin’ amused. To be fair, I did get a couple of household items, including food for three days. But still … <cries, kicks, runs, screams, and hides>. Here’s the damage: $12ish for two pizzas for the four kids I didn’t take shopping and my mom (she watched [...]

Sneaking Back In …
Yes, I suck. I can’t believe I forgot the update! DH came home with plans to go to dinner. By the time we got out and got back, I don’t know where I was. Oh, cake. Decorating the cake. I still haven’t organized my flakes for the week, but I did finish one of those [...]

Friday Flakes
Today was big flake day – $400! It’s a semi-forced flake. Our mortgage payment has been past due forever. When I totaled my debt in January, I included the past due portion of the mortgage in that number. Now we’re paying $400 extra a month to catch up that past due balance. The payments I [...]

Friday Flurries
I managed a whopping $2 in flakes this week, but that does NOT suck. It’s $2 worth of debt gone. GONE! The month in review isn’t fabulous. At this point, we’re just doing the house payment thing. DH has a lot of income this weekend and I have some myself, so when we add it [...]

One Week to Go (& Flakes)!
July is almost over and I’m not seeing heads or tails of the $3500 we still need. I did find enough stuff to move around to make that number $2500, but in a week? Sure. Obviously more will move. None of it is supposed to be flexible, but it’ll flex. DH has a couple of [...]

Not a Blizzard Today
My flakes totaled a whopping $1 today! I actually found $1.20 in my purse plus a few pennies, but I would have rounded it down to $1 anyway so I saved the change for next time. When I end up with another $1 I’ll be in business! In other news, wow – you people really [...]
