here we go again
Good news and bad news of the day:
BAD NEWS: I have to drive back to the old house in rush hour tomorrow (an hour each way) to meet with our minister for the wedding and go to my car dealership for an oil change.
GOOD NEWS: My oil change and tire rotation will be FREE! (I completely forgot that I had those covered under insurance until 2010! So if I get an oil change every 4 months which is what I plan to do, I will save around $120 per year!)
BAD NEWS: I went from 50,131 HBC Reward Points (Zellers) to 131 in a mere 10 seconds.
GOOD NEWS: I traded them for 25 Air Miles since I redeem those for groceries and groceries are more important than items at Zellers. I now have enough for a $20 grocery gift card (well, I will once these points are applied to my card, which can take a few weeks unfortunetely)!
Okay, I seriously thought there was more bad news but I guess not - which is great! Since I’m in a bragging mood (I’m not, really, but I am excited and no one is awake to share my news with) here are all the great things that happened today (aside from the 2 above):
- My mom and Erica agreed to have a yard sale with me in June. Yay money and getting rid of clutter!
- I am all out of vitamins on Friday and starting that day, they are on SALE for cheap at a store nearby.
- I made soup for dinner tonight and have enough to have it for dinner again tomorrow!
- My mom told me I received a check at her house (no idea why it showed up there) for $60! Don’t you love surprise checks?
- My mom is also paying me on Saturday for the bedroom set and desk I sold her. Whoo hoo, more money for my debt!
- I was told that tomorrow I can go pick up my check from my old landlord for the rent money they took out of my account and shouldn’t have. $905 for debt there as well!
- While talking to the landlord, he told me at the end of the month I will receive another check from them for interest. This should be around $25-$50 I think which is more money for my debt!
- Erica is coming to visit on Friday!!!!!! I am so excited. I miss her tons!
- I have to take a rug that I bought back to Wal-Mart on Friday so there is $40 that will be applied to my Visa, meaning $40 less in Visa debt!
- I am hoping to open a new bank account with a new bank on Friday. They have ZERO fees which will save me $25 a month and $300 a year by switching!
- I remembered I have a gift card for a home improvement store from when I returned some patio stones not too long ago. I plan on buying some CFL lightbulbs so that I will save money on my hydro bill!
- I have a lady who is interested in my cupcakes for her wedding. She wants to sample them first, so I’m hoping she likes them. I will get excited after that but I just wanted to share the news that she was interested!
- I have another lady (my mom referred her to me - thanks, mom!) who is interested in cupcakes for her daughter’s birthday and her mother’s birthday (1-4 dozen or so each time). YAY!
Today was an awesome, awesome, fantastic day. I’m going to go to bed now, so nothing can happen to ruin it. Goodnight! I hope you all had a great day as well!
