We broke the spending freeze today! :(

The van broke down and Sean decided that he had to fix it, so he is out buying car parts right now. Personally, I would have been fine with waiting till next month to fix it. We rarely use it during the week anyway, so it would have been just one weekend where we were stuck carless. But Sean was having none of it.

Aside from the car issue, things are going well, more or less. I really miss Thai food, and Sean’s hair is starting to look ridiculous. (Note: if you want to try the spending freeze at home, and you’re a man, think about getting a haircut before embarking on this thrifty journey.)

Also the carpet is getting pretty gross with our lack of a vacuum cleaner – but hey, sometimes when you’re an environmental superstar you just have to make sacrifices!
