kimurhoI know that I mentioned the last week in November my aggravation with the tree service for simply showing up and doing the work without giving us advanced notice or allowing us to schedule their visit when our pocketbook could handle the strain but I neglected to notice that another service did that week.
We had contacted the gutter cleaning service we use back in September ... or maybe the beginning of October (it's in the Budget book to contact them at the end of September so that was when the note is on the calendar - but I'm not the one who made the call). They told my husband that they would come "toward the end of November". He got the call on 30 Nov. that they would be there in a few minutes.
That was scheduled in the Budget (capital B - it's a book); the brake work on M's car and the tree removal were not and those totaled $1000 over on a month that was expected to be high already.
::: sigh :::
I do NOT want to draw money from savings to handle the unexpected expenses. We can manage it, but it will be tight.
