Day one achievements -

Baked bread, made choc chip and saultans muffins, cookies, yoghurt, chocolate fudge, jelly and jelly ice creams.

No spend for us today Yah!

Went to Bunnings and used our christmas gift cards and purchased some more vegetables for the garden, two huge tomato stakes and chicken wire to extend our chicken house/run.

Have worked out our dinner menu for the week and have all the ingredients at home so should remain a no spend week for us except for fuel.

We got four eggs off our little hens today so quiet happy since we are out of layer pellets at the moment and they have been living off the scrapes and excess home grown vegetables.

Today was so hot here that we stayed indoors and tommorrow we are going to hit the vegetable patch early and plant the new seedlings and start on extending the chicken house/run, so hope it will not be too hot.

The debt this morning was $52,750.00 and I caught up on my surveys which I have been neglecting badly and I got enough points from rewards central to redeem $30.00 cash, so off the debt it comes. Now $52,720.00.

We got our phamplets today that we had to collate and roll which need to be delivered, and tommorrow we pick up another lot that is waiting to be done. Todays was only a small amount of pay $29.70 but hey every little bit helps.

The phamplet money is allocated to our food money each week and this is the only money that we are allowing for food. The cupboards and pantry and pretty well stocked so shouldn't be too bad, and currently the food account stands at $47.20 which is available to be used, and todays amount needs to be added on top. This will hopefully build up for a few weeks, as I don't think we will have to shop for a while or at least here is hoping.

Had a very enjoyable day baking, and a day at home, and are extrememly happy that today remaind a no spend day.
