Spending Update

Posted by with 4 comments | in
Below are September and October spending recaps (I get the bills in the first week of the following month - that's why I have Oct/Nov below).  The October bill was a bit horrific...oops, but November was back on track with spending of just over $1,600.

Our gas bill has gone up significantly as we've been driving out to see our new house every couple of days, monitoring the progress of the build.  

I did some early Christmas shopping which shows on the October bill and Jordan and I also bought a few pieces of new furniture for the new house (home maintenance) that were on an amazing sale.
