I have a financial basket in the kitchen - with all goodies like cheques, stamps, etc., so when bills come, they go in there, usually pay bills as soon as they come in, don't wait til they are due. I used to wait, then realized that was stupid - it doesn't matter, the money has to come out anyways.

Good morning, all!

Good morning Nat, Dan. It is really quiet in here, perhaps all the parents are crying...only several days left of school till the wee ones are free.

So....my first chore since I'm home. It's my grandson Ryder's 7th birthday on Friday. He's a summer solstice baby and every year since the day he was born, I have made him either a cake or muffins, and this morning he asked me to make muffins for his class on Friday. He's got 28 kids in his class, a grade 1/2 split class. I can't tell him no, as a grandma, that's not my job (as she snickers in the corner...), so I thought I would bake the muffins today, then tomorrow I could take all day to decorate them...my family says no way...What do you think? I just have to, I've done it since he was a baby but I'm going to space it out. They're at work, or school all day and dh is always running the roads so I can do it in my own time.

Holly, you know yourself best. If you decide that you can manage to do something, there's no one that can tell you different. We all know you're smart enough to know when you're pushing yourself to hard, and you'll manage yourself just fine. If you're going to space everything out like you said, and people aren't going to be around to pester you, I think you'll be just fine love.

plus you just can't say no to your grandson!

morning all!! max here is supposed to be 20... was supposed to rain, but not anymore

quick question - how does everyone keep track of their bills (what's due, when, how much)? i used to do it in an excel calendar, but for the past year, i stopped updating it, and resorted to "memory" which led to late payments.. so while im sitting here paying my overdue bills, i figured id ask everyone else how they remember when to pay their bills

I keep mine in my phone as soon as I get my bill I put it in my phone. Then my phone let's me know when it's due.
