April 2014 Mortgage Payment
Balance $94,000.00
+$215.42 Interest
-$1218.88 Regular Payment
-$151.54 Principle Payment
-$345.00 Mortgage Checking Principle Payment
New Balance $92,500.00
Escrow Savings Account

Trying to focus most extra money on savings for now, so only paid the $151.54 extra, but then had all the sale money from FB in the Mortgage Checking account, so still ended up with a great paydown for the month.

Well my personal life might be rough lately, but I am still one lucky duck! Dh and I usually play bingo a few nights a week after work, it's just at the bar and cost $2 a card, takes about an hr to play 3 sets of games. It's a nice little unwind time after work (especially with all this OT) to relax and visit. I have just been on fire lately at bingo and on Wednesday night I won twice, about $80 total, and then last night we went to the casino to watch March Madness and I won $566 on a penny slot machine! I was only betting .60 so that a NICE SURPRISE!! (If I was betting max (which is scary) at $3.00 a spin that would have been about $2500....trying not to dwell on that...lol). So I was going to put $400 of that in savings, but I see that puts me only $75 away from $6000 in the Home Improvements Account, so I added another $75.00 to make it to $6K!
New Focus = Home Maintenance $6000/$7000
Current Balance $30,655.00
+$400.00 Casino Winning
+$75.00 Even Out Amount
Balance $31,130.00
ING $27,390.00
Home Improvements(cash)$440.00
HSBC $3300.00
Total = $31,130.00

Have a monster Discover Card billing coming in next month, have our bi-yearly car insurance bill ($345) and our yearly lawn care bill(get a discount for paying all at once $389), DHs BD present - Red Sox tickets ($375), plus TONS of overspending for eating out and drinks since we are both so depressed. I know eating out and drinking does not help that (not gonna feel better when I'm fat, broke and drunk...lol) but sometimes you just do what makes you happy for that minute to get by. We did go buy a lot of groceries this last week, so hopefully that will help curb it some, but we are just in a bad rut with that right now, much worse then normal. So will probably have to take some money out of savings next month to cover that large bill. I have been working a lot (about 10 hrs per week) of OT at work, so that will help some.

I have been posting items on FB for sale, and a coworker recently saw my posts and asked me to bring her some items to buy. She told me a bunch of the brands she uses and asked me put together a box of things worth about $60-$80 for her to buy! I was super excited! I wasn't sure if I would have $60-$80 worth of stuff that she would want to buy, but I just packed up a box with a bunch of different items, mostly CVS purchases, a few things from my personal stockpile that I thought she might be interested in, and the movies that I just bought from someone else on FB.....she ended up buying $202 worth of merchandise!!! ($8.50 of it was items that my Mom and Bro had mixed with my rummage sale stuff) So in less then a week I have made $240.50!! I have 2 more potential buyers on bodywash I am waiting for pick up on!
The best part was that I sold all of the DVDs that I just bought this weekend and I made a $64 profit on those! Nice, quick turnaround! Selling on FB is turning into a nice little supplemental income for me! Now I just need to restock because my inventory is bare!!
