I also had to laugh about the Christmas "bonus". In the past DH's bonus was equivalent to one week of pay. Which are given to the employees at the Christmas dinner, that is usually held on the 23rd. Last year was the first year we didn't depend on the bonus. Luckily, because they didn't get one, and didn't find out they weren't getting one until the 23rd!! Lucky for the ones that hadn't done their shopping, that they also give the paychecks the same day as the party!
My Christmas bonus from my employer has been reduced to a calendar. And I really am not expecting one of those this year!
So, this year if they get a bonus, which they are supposed to, we will use it for paying off credit! I guess that would be considered frugal!
I am hoping to be able to use at least most of our income tax return for a down payment on a house. That is provided that we can either sale this trailer or walk away from it somehow! Which in the long run buying a house on a piece of land will be frugal, as than I won't have to pay the stinking lot rent!
Other than that I have spent yesterday, and this morning at the hosptial with my Dad. He had another breathing episode, rapid heart beat, and low blood pressure. He was on a breathing machine from yesterday afternoon, until this morning.
Oh, yeah, thanks for the info. on refilling the swiffer containers! I was trying to figure out how to refill them.
