FB Garage Sale, etc

November 2nd, 2014 at 11:03 pm

I bought an Epson all in one year old printer w/full ink cartridges (except yellow) for $35 from the local FB garage sale. There was another one for $25 that didn't have ink. I've already used it to print my Sam's Club voucher and some coupons. Smile Works great!

The $35 comes from my spending money.

I also cashed out my Pact money - $37 - which goes into my Spending Money category (just covers the printer!)

I did get on Bubblews today - but only for 1 hour. (maybe I stretched it a few minutes past that ...) I am not going to let myself be on there for more than an hour a day - whatever I accomplish in that time is what I accomplish.

I cashed out on Bing for a 500 SB reward - got the code and redeemed it already. Also cashed out 2 more $5 AGC cards for a total of 4 so far this month.

I did buy some groceries - I had to pick up printer paper - so went ahead and did my ONE shop for the week. I've got plenty of food, so I don't think it should be an issue.

I finally took my broken bookshelf out to the dumpster and also sorted through some more boxes - made a trash box and a donate box (both full already.) Have a lot more to go, but feel like I accomplished a little something.

Today I finally broke open my POI Season 3 DVDs and watched the first episode - can't get my money back on them (by selling) until I watch them, and the longer I wait, the less others will be willing to pay!

I'm about to head out to the store again - not for myself, but for NE - he needs some groceries and a charger for his phone (forgot to get from his car before.)

I downloaded two new SBs apps for iOS - have exhausted 3 of the 4 and am working on the 4th one now. I am considering signing up for the accelerator, although I need to double check terms - if CC SBs count towards the 1500 they'll match or not. (it basically means an extra 500Sbs each month)

I also downloaded PerkTv on my new iPhone and have been running that most of the day. It's another app where you can exchange for gift cards.

What I haven't done at all this weekend ... is write anything towards the 50k words. I'm actually not sure if I want to do it now - especially after talking to my mom on Thursday (before I got the stranded in Kansas City call from NE.) She was very supportive and everything, but I'm thinking maybe it's too soon. Some of the stuff I might want/need to put in wouldn't be too flattering to her. Maybe I'll figure something else out.

    I am actually commenting on your post which has mysteriously disappeared. It was in regard to using your cc to pay for someone else's car repair. You have a huge heart and are very kind and thoughtful. ( This is gathered from following your blog for quite some time.) There are 2 schools of thought that I have heard when it comes to "lending money" to a friend/bf/roommate/family. One is IF you do lend the money/pay for something on your cc, think of it as a gift and that's it. OR- think of this as a business deal-i know it is difficult but you need to know when/how much NE is going to pay you and get it on paper-after all that cc bill is going to come in your name and it must be paid- i know it sounds difficult to do but ..it seems like this issue may have long reaching effects on your relationship if not put out in the open..

    Good luck whichever way you choose to go-

    Thanks Susan. I deleted the other post this morning - had second thoughts about putting all that out in cyberspace. If he doesn't pay me back, I can handle it - both financially and otherwise. I've never made this big of a loan to someone, but before this whenever I'd pick stuff up at the store for him, etc., he was always good about settling with me. So, I'm not too worried. If he doesn't .. well then I guess that would tell me something right there.
