Our "Time Off" has come to an end and today we were back to work. When hubby arrived at work today, he was informed that his workplace ended up having a meeting on Friday and bonus' were given out - Yay!!, so he received his this morning. He called me at work to let me know and what do you know - it will just cover the cost of the lawn mower we needed to buy. We are thankful for this bonus. So even though we are not able to split it between the Vacation Fund and the Emergency Fund, we don't need to use vacation money to cover the cost of the lawn mower.
Our BBQ is on it's last legs - we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will last as long as possible. The starter switch no longer works and it has to be lit with a lighter once the propane is on.
We also have a pressure washer, that is not working now either, so Hubby ended up washing the vehicles with the hose.
Some good news from our time off, was that the fact that we went to 2 different Farmers' Markets in our city and did not spend $122 - that before, we probably would have spent, without a second thought. So I'm really proud of ourselves for resisting the urge to purchase - just because - none of this stuff we really needed - sure it would have been nice to have these things, but there was no way we needed them. So a pat on the back to us.
We were also fortunate, in the fact that Hubby's parents brought over some vegetables from their garden for us - beans, potatoes, carrots and onions, when they came over for a BBQ on Thursday night.
