    @Bao: Actually, I do. Do you know after two kids, your hips just aren't the same as they were after your first kid? I can't fit into my first set of post-pregnancy clothes so we've been slowly buying me clothes that fit this new body.

    Besides - it's my first maxi dress I'm so excited. I want someone to take a picture of me looking awesome in my maxi at the GA meet-up

    It's Friday! How did everyone do?

    We did okay. No unnecessary spending (other than driving family around town which killed my gas tank yesterday). We stuck to our meal planning this week which has been so...bland!

    Sooooo, I didn't eat out all week, but dh and I went out today because his birthday is this weekend. I bought two unnecessary items. Better than weeks before but I need to do better!

    @regberadaisy: I'm in, agaaain.

    I spent $6 at the gym daycare on Saturday and $13 at TJ's tonight so we went off our meal plan but otherwise I've been good.

    I haven't been as frugal with driving lately though.

    I'm in this week. We've recently gotten on a budget, so I want to try to avoid unnecessary spending

    So far so good! We thought about buying pizza last night but we made it at home instead. I have a few bills to pay but since that doesn't count, we're good

    Did okay this week. Had to spend $50 at the freaking library in late fee's (they were 1 week late!!). Otherwise, I didn't spend anything.

    We paid off our last credit card and contributed triple the normal amount into savings. All thanks to budgeting!
