Oh my goodness!!!

I am feeling a sense of relief like you would NOT believe!!!!

Although I haven't really posted alot in the FTJ thread...I have definately utilized what's been going on here and cannot believe the amount we've saved!!!

Now that we've jumped out biggest hurdle it's amazing to see all the small things we've accomplished as well on the journey!!!

We did the freeze,which not only saved us a TON,but I was able to really clean out my stock pile(which we were due to do)and I forced myself to spend on groceries from there on out only what I could use coupons/sales and really worked hard to find THE best deals.We are now,once again fully stocked(for the most part)and,seriously,for pennies.I realize now,that I somehow managed to restock and feed us for far less that what I normally was!

We were able to accomlish alot of yard work last week when dh was home...
we had mulch that I bought end of season from last year for 1.00(yippee)and alot of the plants I used to fill in,I got by thinning out some bigger ones in my yard!(We did one whole end of our house and I spent a total of 12 bucks and chang!!)

We also paid off a 2 hundred and something Dr. bill.......and have a hospital bill down to right around 275.00

and dh goes this week for training to take on a new type of job that will earn more money!!!

The light is on at the end of my tunnel.....not only do I know it....but I can finally see it.....

Wow! Yay! Congratulations! That's such a big accomplishment. Thanks so much for sharing it with us! Sometimes I'm not sure how many people are really following FTJ anymore, but this gives me incentive to keep posting!
