Well it looks like I beat my goal for no buy days, but the days I did buy were well over budget. After looking at my goal I can see I didn't take Valentine's Day, and 3 birthdays into consideration when planning, so I need to remember that though a short month it is also a pricey one for my family! On to March where, though longer I may fair better---oops I have a 4 day weekend at US/IOA with DD and her best friend, the date is halfway between both of their birthdays so it is to celebrate their sweet 16.
I hope everyone else had good luck making their goals, see you on the March thread!
