2. Sew Harvey's pj bottoms. Done.

9. Notify Kathy that there will only be two of us for Harvey's family reunion. (Another minutes work) Done.

11. Plant flowers and garden (Harvey usually does the garden on his own). Done.

13. Refashion two summer dresses into something else (thinking both should be able to be completed in one day). Done, and while it did not take just one day, things went together very quickly over the course of a couple of days.
Looking at what I managed to accomplish this month I am extremely happy. I did manage to get almost all of what needed to be done, and even with buying starter plants, spending a bit more than was planned in a few budget areas, we still managed to come in under budget overall. That makes me happy. It is however disappointing to see that the increase in provincial taxes raised some of our budget lines over what we had planned on spending each month.
This month I removed another 47 items, which brings my total to 436 for the year. Nothing to sneeze at, but really not a whole lot considering what is in my house.
As I said we were under total budget for the month, but over in a couple of categories. I am hopeful of getting this under control very soon. I do notice the grocery/household item budget line slowly but surely going up. Time to make a trip to Regina for a stock up.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Another consistently productive month Jackie. Well done.

Once summertime is here and the spring winds stop trying to blow me off the planet, I spend most of my days outdoors...I NEED to be working on sifting thru things in our house but I'll do that come winter...with my car in the garage,it's easy to load up for a trip to the thrift store to donate things we no longer need.
