Working towards saving for driveway repair - have 1/5th saved. Shooting for Oct. to have it done. Right now, been spending on home improvement stuff, small things that add up! Redoing outdoor rocking benches (look terrible) at 5-6 cans of paint each. One side of the house needs painting, gets hammered by the sun. Carpets shampooed this week as well, and need a bit of sod to go in a couple areas that look slap dash right now. Bit of cement to replace some yard edging. All by the end of first week of August since DH is home on another vacation (staying home to get things done. He gets 6 weeks a year that are 12 days every time, we don't need to be gone that much!). Savings for Dec. DW trip on track, but may bump that up if rumors are true that GE in DL are already raising prices on some things (have not heard what yet, but it came from Rteetz so I'm listening). Younger DS still sabotaging my plans, he swears he will stop, he just keeps "needing things", lol. He will be helping me put more up on ebay, which is going pretty well. He is temporarily forgiven. Older DS has stopped spending completely, forgoing his massive Subway craving for 3 days so far (he's special needs, I may let him have it as a reward!). Will keep everyone posted! Happy hump day!
