Aww Liz. Feel better soon!! Love is Blind is my guilty pleasure. Ugh Dave!! 😂😂

1:01 4 is the best number (scientifically proven), so I'll put $4 towards my car fund. 4:04 I like to do the big, hard part first so I can stop thinking or stressing about it. Which isn't easy to do, but it really does feel better when it's out of the way. This weekend I have some reading to get done for school, and some cleaning to do. Nothing exciting, aka my favorite kind of weekend :) Hope you feel better, soon!

Hope you feel better soon my friend! And I am glad you and Tracey are still friends! 😂😂😂 I wish I could just veg out on the couch this weekend but I will be busy chasing around my kiddos! 🥰💗

[CandyScrapper]

I am LOVING the Pitt too! Such a good show. Hope you feel better soon!

[PamelaJT]

$2 towards emergency fund. I hope you feel better soon 💜 I started to watch the pit. Seeing Noah Wylie from ER. I can’t watch it anymore it was a trial. lol .

[rachelleparish]

Hope you get to rest up and feel better soon. I picked $2 to go to my kiddos savings 😉 i'm excited for weekend to have some downtime, this week has been extremely busy for this mom here trying to do errands along with doctor & therapy appointments and apartment inspection 😵‍💫 so I'm just looking forward this weekend because I get to continue learning a new piano piece the "die with a smile" of Bruno Mars & lady Gaga and the tagalog song "palagi" by TJ & KZ 🥰

[SaveItMell]

Ooohhh, I totally get the work craze, it's been insane here for weeks again. I'm saving an even $2 with you and since you mentioned future, I put it toward my rainy day fund. ☺ ☺

A great series to binge on Netflix is Virgin River!

[AgapeBookClub]

Awww. I know how stressful things can be with work. When i took this position there was no processes or anything. I had to start from scratch and build a foundation and also train 3 people to do the one job i was doing before. I took this job because it would be less work for more money😅. ❤❤❤

Hi Liz, TGIF I’m thankful for the weekend reprieve as well. I’m going to save $20 towards my car.

[SaraBudgetOrganized...ish...]

Oh that sounds like a rough week. I hope you'll have a very nice and calm weekend where you can get better. You're doing great with your challenges and savings. Also I hope that the new person will start soon so that you're not on your own there.

I saved €4 from...hm... How to translate Statiegeld. Money for handing back bottles to the store... It's a deposit-return system. The kids and I did a cleaning walk where we collect trash and bottles in the forest next to us. We split the money 3 ways, so we collected bottles and cans for €12. Also filled 2 trash bags. Bah. People shouldn't throw things in nature.

Hi Lis sorry you are sick. I was sick about a month ago and still have the cough. New jobs are tough. Hang in there! I hope you feel better soon and can rest over the weekend! 💜

[Mjbee]

Hi Liz - I think today I’ll add $10 to gifts. My daughter’s birthday is next month

[Pamcatmom]

Hang in there with work. It’s so hard to try and learn a new job but losing the person that is the best fount of knowledge makes it hard.

[cathyjames]

Save the date again. Doing 40 days of lent next. Get well soon
