How could I forget.....

I don't know why this slipped my mind........

I exceed my Misc budget by $148.81.

Not my fault though. My vacuum broke so I had to buy another. Them jokers are expensive. I bought one for $50. IDENT-A-KID came to my daughter's school and I felt it essential to get some identity cards for my daughter. I got 4 for $15. It was picture month also and this is the only time I have to get new pics of my daughter. I buy professional pics of her each year and we were due. They came out beautifully. That was $80.

See how that wasn't my fault. Things came up. Things I didn't account for in my budget......ok MAYBE my fault a lil.

Anyhoo just want to let yall know.

@ Lisa

I have a small two bedroom apartment so I was didn't need those $200+ deluxe ultra mega vacs with 90 attachments. I went to Biglots and bought myself a medium sized one with one attachment. I still think $50 was wayy to much for a vac. Ugh!

I received a nice vacuum as a gift a few years ago. However, like Lisa I really want a Dyson...a pink one (I just saw it in Target).

I haven't bought a vacuum in years. I swear, if my daughter didn't have asthma and I didn't have to vacuum EVERYDAY, I probably wouldn't even own one. What you spent wasn't bad though. As long as it gets the job done.

But $80 bucks on school pics? Wow! Times sure have changed. We used to hit up Tarjay or Sears for a $20 package.

@ Single Ma

Girl! And I only bought HALF the total package! Total package of 11 sheets was $169. I bought 5 of them. I let my laziness persuade me to buy the pics. And she looked sooooo cute. But next time I definitely will need to look into other options.

I have a Dyson. I have pets that shed and a kid that drops everything and my vacuum cleaners were getting eaten up like prey. I was tired of replacing them and bought a Dyson...OMG, I love that thing! It gets stuff up that I did not want to know was there. I love it so much I want to send Mr. Dyson a gift for making a vacuum cleaner worth every cent of the money I paid for it. It is not even funny how much I love my vacuum cleaner. Sad, but not even funny.LOL.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice...
