Checking in with my weekly spending report, this does,nt include Savings or Retirement money.When I worked out my budget for each week and month I forgot to add in a direct debit amount for $42 this was for a monthly series of DVD,s which I had ordered around July of last year. A payment was taken out in July, August, September and October and then nothing in November or December, so I presumed that the series was completed and I never gave it another thought. This head in the sand attitude has got to stop, instead of phoning them up and finding out why nothing had been taken out in November and December I was just relieved that it seemed to have come to an end. BUT when I went into my bank account on Friday there it was again, with no explanation as to why. I am pissed and at this stage I,m not sure who,s fault it is !!!
Anyway after finding that one of my categories was going to be short by $42 I found $50 hiding at the back of my wallet. Yippeeee so I.m $8.00 better off than I thought I was. But I will be ringing and finding out what is going on and stopping the direct debit.
All my categories have been filled now and at last I should be able to add to my sidebars, work towards having snowflakes, and paying off a personal debt.
We spent yesterday with family having a lovely meal and admiring the new home built by this couple, the company was excellent the food gorgeous and the scenery inspiring. And all only 1 and 1/2 hours drive away, so we will probably do it again often. Have a great weekend everyone.

Oooooo I like the chart! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a fantastic and relaxing time.
I love finding money I didn't know I had.
ReplyDeleteI like your chart too.
Ah, look at all those no spend days! Good for you!! I absolutely hate when money gets automatically pulled out of the account, especially when you are not expecting it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful meal with friends!
Urgh Maureen, I hope that you get the money refunded!
ReplyDeleteLook at all of your $0 Spend Less Days!!!! Go Maureen!!!! Love it! And I love the surprise $50 in your wallet!! What a find! Too bad you had to use it for something! :)
ReplyDeleteHey - you have a magical wallet like me!!You are looking VERY organized and I like how you've spruced up your blog. Seems odd to have to wait a year before you can ADD a year to your ticker but widgits work in mysterious ways. Good luck with the $42 debit - perhaps you can get that reimbursed!! More snowflakes!
