Duh!

I'm supposed to be getting a nice bonus this month from work. Part will go to my dental bill, part to my car (only 5 more payments!!!) and the other part to new clothes. I admit to be overly excited about the clothes part, so I went out shopping yesterday afternoon. Spent $150 on new clothes that fit.

I went to write a check for the dentist this morning and decided to check my bank account. Here's the DUH part: I'm not getting my bonus THIS week. I'm getting it NEXT week.

Thankfully I have the $150 in the bank to cover my new clothes. I have exactly $12 left after the clothes clear. $12 for a whole week worth of gas and incidentals. I guess I could be worse - I could have bounced a few checks. You can bet I'll be looking for loose change all over the house! I'm fairly sure my piggy bank contains $20 in quarters, nickels, and dimes

PS: Don't even think I'm going to return any of the clothes I bought yesterday. I might be robbing the piggy bank throughout the week but I'm gonna look darn nice while doing it!

Hey, it's the little things, right? That's what piggy banks are for!

LOL! I never spend money until it is IN MY HANDS! Things happen, plans change, people forget....

Congratulations on getting a bonus! That is always exciting, and quite welcome, as well.

Now make sure you put aside $2.99 to buy a gold tone marker so you can mark the calendar next time around!!!!

LOL! I have no idea how I made such a stupid mistake. I know very well when I get paid

Oh well.... hopefully I'll be making bonuses like this one more often. I signed a new contract at work last week that will hopefully mean some serious bonuses every other month.
