(Those funny tool icons are gone now!)

Well, it's the last day of the month and I need to calculate how well we stuck to the budget. I had thought we were doing pretty well, but we are heading out to our local Harvest Festival and we don't actually have cash set aside for this. So tonight I will do a final update. Also need to do the budget for October. It will be a busy night! (I'll update later.)

Help! Strange Tool Icons On My Side Bar ???

Anyone know why those strange tool icons have appeared in my right side bar?? And what I can do to get rid of them??

Any advice appreciated!

Only 2 days left in the month and my earnings are still under $600.00 so far. Doesn't look like I will make my $1,000.00 goal this month.

I did sign up for several Craft Fairs and have worked a little on my jewelry website and jewelry brochure (but still have a lot more to do!). So, I do feel confident that my jewelry income at least will go up (considering that it's at 0 for this month!).

I did write 2 articles for Associated Content last night. Only one was accepted and only with an offer of $ 3.97 (which I accepted).

The best news of the day, though, is I finally figured out how to fix the problems I have been having with the cookies on my computer. This will mean that I can get back into completing offers for Cash Crate, so that will definitely help my income!

Well, only a few days left in the month and at $577.15 I am a long way away from my monthly goal of earning $1,000.00.

I do think we did a good job at sticking to the budget this month though. I will add up each budget category over the weekend to get an accurate picture, but I know that I still have cash left in most of my envelopes still, so that's a good sign.

20% Pay Raise - Whoo-Hoo!!

Hubby got a great promotion at work, along with a fantastic 20% raise!! I'm so excited! Being a commission job, it could be a little more or a little less - but most certainly an increase. This could mean our debt freedom date could come a lot sooner. Currently anticipating our debt free date at August 2010. Maybe it will be in 2009! :)

Can't wait to call in to the Dave Ramsey Show and scream "We're Debt Free!!!!"
