Hello All and Happy Monday! My apologies for posting this late in the day… I forgot to create my image before work, thus the delay. ;) Did you guys have a good weekend? Mine was wonderful and spent in the NC mountains with J and six friends from college. We had such a great time but I confess I ate waaaaay too much food candy corn. Anyway! Here’s this week’s Money Check-Up:
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on groceries–$38.01. Really boring, eh?
2. Today I feel pretty good about money. The first part of this month was pretty expensive since I had to buy a bridesmaids dress and shoes for my roommate. Thankfully, though, the second half of this month will be pretty low-key.
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was walk around a gorgeous lake with my old friends from college. The weather was in the 70s the whole time we were there!
4. I will consider this week a success if I go for a run every single day. And when I say every single day, that includes Friday, Saturday and Sunday too.
5. The thing I am most looking forward to about this autumn are pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. I’ve been waiting for the weather to be chilly enough to enjoy one, but hopefully I will get my first of the season very soon. They are the most delicious and delightful drinks ever!

Money cant, buy happiness. One free thing I,ve enjoyed this week, was having a go on my Grandson,s skateboard and not falling off, and they say you can,t teach an old dog new tricks. LOL
I will consider this week a success, if I stick to my budget and my calorie intake.
The thing I,m looking forward to this Spring ( remember I,m in Australia ) are warmer lighter nights. And not going to work in the dark.
