I Haven't Left For My Vacation Yet

By Mrs. Accountability on August 16th, 2010

Did you think I was already gone since I neglected to post last week after I announced we were going on vacation?

We're Actually Taking a Vacation

By Mrs. Accountability on August 10th, 2010

Mr. A and I have never really gone on a vacation together. We’ve gone camping for the weekend two decades ago, but once our children came along we mostly stayed home.

A couple of weeks ago I was trying to decide whether we should buy a new washing machine, or try to stick with our current machine.

Mr. A and I were having a hard time forking out $400 or more on a washing machine which was working, aside from having a small tub, and [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

By Mrs. Accountability on August 2nd, 2010

If you’re a regular reader here at Out of Debt Again, you may recall my post last week about how to deal with being labeled as spam by Akismet.
