Challenge Update

I have sort of saved money for yesterday. I ened up having to take my van to the mechanic to get the spark plugs changed and put the new fuel filter on. I drop it off on Thursday morning. My mom takes me back to my car on Thursday evening, and the guy tells me I need more parts. He says he can put everything back together, but it will still probably not run very well. So off we go to get more parts. My mom is babysitting the girls, but they were being pretty agreeable. We get to the parts store and it is another $66.02 for the new parts. I had already spent about $30 on the first set of parts. So we take them back to the mechanic and he says he can be done in about an hour. I tell mom to leave me there, I will just wait. Then Drama Girl wants to stay and get all pouty when we tell her no. I tell her I will come over when he is all done with my van. She still pouts but says okay. I stay and help a bit on the van to hurry things along, and then pay my mechanic $40 (what a super deal- he really is cheap). I go to see Drama Girl, but she already fell asleep on the couch. Mom and I get her ready for bed, and I take her upstairs and tuck her in. She was a happy camper that I came back and tucked her in. Then on to home so I could start getting the last few things done at home before I leave tonight.
I also went with my mom to cvs. I do not have my reciept with me, but can give a recount as best as I can here. For some reason, I thought that the cereal deal was limit of two. I read the ad, and saw it in the store but was just confused. I am going to claim that it was the heat. It was really hot in my office and also the store. I got 6 boxes cereal, 3 dry idea deo that were clearanced out to $1.12, one bottle of excedrin at $6.99 because I can never have too much excedrin. I spent $1.52 (I think), used $10 EB, 6*$1 for cereal, 3*$2 for dry idea-I got the whole amount they did not change it down, $1 excedrin, $1 cvs excedrin, and a $5 off $30. No picture today as I was too busy getting my stuff ready for my trip. Not too shabby, even if I did only get back $5 in EB. I was confused all the way out to mom's car.....I think I was a bit slow yesterday!

How are you all doing on the Challenge?
