Another no spend day under my belt!
I had another no spend today. That makes a total of nine for the month. I'm on track for my own goal of 100 no spend days for the year. I count no spend days as those where no cash passes from my hand. I don't count automated payments in my no spend days, as I have the money for these put aside. It's not the same as others but it works for me!
Supper tonight is going to be a mock pot roast. I had cheap steak, so I sliced it and browned it, then cooked onions, celery, garlic and mushrooms and threw that into the pot. I added some onion soup mix, beef broth, potatoes and carrots and I'm baking it in the oven as I type this. I'll have enough to eat for a couple of meals, and I figure that it cost me about 8.00 total to make. It smells amazing in here.
The drive to work was cold! I used an average of 13.6 litres/100 kms today. Not good mileage ( I usually get about 11 litres/100 kms). It is very cold, so I'll plug the car in tomorrow morning for about 2 hours. I had it plugged in all night at my house, so I'm sure I'll see the increase on my power bill.
Oh and I drove the dog to my mom's this morning. Poor boy, he wanted to come with me, and we had to "fool" him do I could make a getaway. I hope he has a good week!
I'm glad to see Monday is coming to a close, as I found today to be a bit irritating at work. People not keeping up their part, and I knew it...

I can't believe it's supposed to get up to +5C Thursday!!
I have never heard of anyone plugging their car in, does this stop the engine from freezing ???
Today it is 0c but I bundled up like it was still -17c. I foresee a few extra hot flashes today!
-31 with the windchill factor.
I've never plugged my car in but hubby did with the old truck and it did start easier having the oil slightly warmer on start up.
I hope you liked the pizza dough you made on Sunday. I'm thinking of making pizza's this weekend now.
Great on your no spend days I'm up to 12 and just loving it.
