Finally! A day nice enough to effectively hang clothes outside! (I've still been hanging all along of course -- just indoors) Several loads are waiting to be strung up in this glorious sunshine, catching me up with that particular chore. Happily, I have not used our dryer in months and months (can't speak for DH though -- he usually does his own laundry and will still use the dryer from time to time. I'll offer to hang it for him any time though -- maybe he'll take me up on it more when the weather warms up)....

I currently have potatoes, both white and sweet, baking in the oven for our lunch. We were considering going to a neighborhood fundraiser chili supper this evening. It would have been $20.00 for all four of us and it sounded fun, and hearty (chili --choice of meat or veg--, salad, bread, homemade cookies). But, I decided against it because when it comes down to it? I'd rather save the money .....

DS is slightly under-the-weather, so it looks like we may not be making it to dance this afternoon. That will give me time to prepare a decent meal this evening (don't know exactly what that will be yet though). Anyway, with nowhere to go, our day ought very well shape up as a no-spender. Heck, let's see if I can extend it all the way through the weekend. There's nothing I can think of that we are really in need of from any store right now -- I'll see how many days I can string together of no retail spending (not counting the several bills I still need to write checks for and get in the mail).....
