Taking a break

As you might have noticed I haven't been keeping up with the blog this week and last. There has been a lot of end of summer busyness going on. On top of that I haven't been feeling well which is making it hard to make the weekly list. I haven't even been looking at things for my personal list.

I have decided just to make it definite and say that I am taking a little vacation from the list. This way I don't struggle to get it out every week and then feel back when I don't get it done. We will be out of town towards the end of August so I think the easiest thing to do it just to start again with the weekly list at the beginning of September.

I'm planning on still updating the budget. I've found that having it all typed up helps me to keep on track and to know where I am spending. I tend to spend a lot less when I put it on the blog. Hopefully I can get last weeks purchases up tonight and go from there.

Thanks all for understanding. Hope you have a great end to your summer. See you when school starts.
