Messy hair, don't care?

Yesterday morning (... bit behind in my blogging!) I opened a challenge card that said 'you lost your hairbrush'. I'd had a shower the evening prior so my hair was a bit wild when I woke up so this challenge card definitely popped up on the right day! Fortunately after brushing my fingers through my hair and walking to work with a hat on my hair settled down. Over lunch hour I was able to buy a hairbrush for $2.25 and I also purchased a box of bandaids for $2.58 since walking so much has been reeking havoc on my heels (Good socks and footwear are needed for walking a lot but high quality products would be out of the question on an OW budget!). Both purchases put a lot of stress on a small budget!

Sam made some confessions in her blog and I definitely should make one quick one right now. I ate a significant amount of chocolate yesterday*. A coworker gave me a lovely Valentine's Day gift pack (that also included nuts and fruit!!) and I indulged. And friends at skiing planted some valentine's treats on the trails. I indulged again.

The challenge wraps up today at 4pm. Stay tuned for a few more blogs including an overall reflection of the experience.

Updating my $55 budget:
Food - $23.50
Transportation - $4 (drove to skiing; accepted a ride home from a friend)
Cell phone - $12.50
Hair brush & bandaids - $4.83
Birthday meet up with friends - $4.50 (drive there and purchase of a tea)
Remaining - $5.67
BUT if I counted soccer (Mondays) & skiing (Tuesdays) - $10 per session; $4 to drive there; $4 to drive to skiing
Remainder - $-12.33

* Kathy, my workplace chocolate go-to probably isn't surprised by this :)
