Day ended up well

June 27th, 2009 at 12:35 am

I took pictures of the stroller/travel system, Plasma TV, and the desk so I plan to put them on Craigslist later today.

The inspection for the rental got pushed back to tomorrow.

Then we took the van to get the oil changed. While there we asked them to check the rear windshield washer because the water line wasn't working.

I was so proud of my four kids. We were there for 3 hours and they took it so well. Turned out that the line to the rear windshield washer had been chewed through, maybe a rodent or something? Not sure when it happened but we think it was when we went to Missouri in March because we noticed it not working then.

So it cost $43.99 for the oil change, $98 to fix the rear windshield wiper. I felt good though that I had the money in savings so I wouldn't have to add more to a credit card.

Being at the dealership that long, DH kept talking to me about a new car. But as we kept going over it, walking by all the new cars - I kept getting that feeling in the pit of my stomach that "Yeah, it may be nice to buy something but what he is talking about is not what we really WANT."

So we'd be settling, and we don't want to. We have a great car right now that we don't have any car payments on. At the very least we plan to pay off the van before considering something new & not having to worry about the van payment will likely free up a lot of money for us to get what we want when the time comes.

Other than that, not much else. No additional spending, just on the car - so we stuck to the plan and I feel good about that.
