Nov 8th – The planned costs for the 30 yard bin was sent out on this day, it was posted on at the start of the challenge and it was followed up on. it is already half full at this point.

Nov 9th- Stayed home, 0 spending, it was couples weekend as Miss R was off for a 4H square dancing event, the troop did very well bringing home a number of placements.

Nov 10th – Stayed home 0 Spend, the whole weekend was spent in a sort mode, we were working in the basement, sorting donate, keep and or purge. Lots of work done. Including putting back over 200 clean jars in the cellar.

Nov 11th- 0 spend Miss R went to outdoor events, we stayed home and had a quiet day here on the farm. Other then a load of donate going to the church basement drop off in town.

Nov 12th Up early in the morning and off the dog and i headed to the vets to get him altered. He was the first one in so we were there when the door opened and back to pick him up late afternoon, while the kitty’s stay overnight, the dogs come home the same day so lots of time and love and care for him on the day off and for the next two weeks of healing. He is doing much better in the body suit at the moment, we are switching out the collar for the body suit and will only go back to the collar if we have to, so far he is being very good about listening and the body suit appears to be working for him. I find it really depends on the dog. Day 2 of 5 for his pain meds and so on but so far things are looking good but really you need at least 7 days after a surgery to be sure its all on the go. Planned Vet costs.

Unplanned costs was 30 dollars for the body suit, i have budget planned and bought the cone but he really didn’t like it AT ALL every time it touched something he would freeze and think himself stuck and then cry so we had to unstuck him over and over

While unplanned, i am not unhappy at the extra spend for his comfort and to give us our freedom back from having to “rescue” him

Nov 13th- Miss R worked on the farm with booked paid days total of three days this week and lots got done. Combo of yard clean up, Croft barn clean up, winter prep work and starting the break down to do a inside rebuild plan for winter.

$20 dollar spend for a Christmas present for a second hand book, it was on my list for a while of wants but hard to find, its out of print and the few dealers i had found understood its worth and i was not going to pay 100 or more for it.. This book seller had it at the best price i have seen at 19.97 and its mine now.

This is totally not planned, used books were not on the list of approved spending.. None the less one more Christmas present have been gotten and should be here first week of dec

Otherwise, regular spending on bills that come out mid month and grocery spending, plus a tank of gas for the car. If you are having a no spend November, how is it going for you? Doing well? Having trouble? Have you started getting some presents to put up?

30 day challenge – Day 19 of new blog post up!
