I need to play catch-up with our expenses today. Quite a few to add in. DH and I went on a "date" last night - first time in a while. He was given a gift certificate for dinner and a movie for his birthday, so it barely cost us a thing too
New expenses: DH's haircut $15
DH's oil change $15
gas for DH's car $31
dinner $6.16 (what the g.c. did not cover) plus $5 tip
two kites for Christmas presents for ds1 and my niece $10.98
check to my parents for utilities,dish tv, other expenses (few months worth) $570
check to ds1's pre-school $50 for the month of November

New income: $317 miscellaneous income
$3.78 credit from some clothes I returned (we bought some new clothes with the rest of the credit - caught a good sale at J.C.Penney's with an additional 10% off). DH and I both are losing weight on the South Beach diet, so I had to return some pants I bought a few weeks back. He had to buy a few new pairs in a smaller size
$6.00 secret shopper check

Total expenses: $731.76
Total income: $3987.94
I'll have to finish this later - ds1 just woke up from his nap.
