Things were going along pretty darn good today. Work was busy, I had packed my lunch and brought it with me. Sometimes I pack it and leave it on the table at home. Is that a Freudian slip? Did I really want to eat out? Probably. We had family over for dinner tonight to celebrate my daughter's birthday. As she was opening her gifts and reading her cards, I realized that I did not put the intended money in her birthday card. Great.... another 40.00 our of my Just in Case envelope. ( I was not upset that I had to give the money, I was ticked that I did not plan for it earlier!) That leaves 30.00 dollars in that envelope till next Friday.
I really need to plan better for Birthdays and now Christmas which is just around the corner. I imagine it will get better over time, especially since I plan on operating on a cash only basis. Otherwise, things have gone pretty smoothly the last few days. Now.... If I can just get myself to the gym.....

Feeling your pain...I didn't put a column in my budget for Christmas and birthdays so am scrambling around now for "extra" money, but not sure where I'm going to find it! Trying to eat less....lol
I guess we will have to plan better for next year's holidays and Birthdays! Good Luck with the eating less!! That will probably not work for me :) I will have to come up with plan B...
It's the birthday party invitations for the kids that throw me off. $20 here and $20 there. Christmas is the next hurdle, and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to do it and still reach my goals this year...
