Well we managed just fine! In fact it was easy! The grocery bill came in $70 under budget and we still have $6.55 left of our weekend spending money to put towards next weekend.
Saturday we were busy grocery shopping and doing some other running around, but Sunday was lovely. It was the first time in so long that we all got to just hang out at home together. I got to have a bit of a sleep in (it was 8am when I got up but felt like 9 due to daylight savings finishing), we set a timer and all spent one hour knocking over some housework together (Josh kept going and worked for nearly two hours because he was on a roll!), Josh played board games at the table with the kids and they chatted with me as I cooked lunch, then in the afternoon the kids ran around outside with the neighbour's kids while Josh and I put our feet up and enjoyed some quiet time. We got takeaway for dinner, which is where we spent our weekend money, watched a family movie, then tucked the kids into bed for the night. Josh fell asleep soon after the kids while I stayed up a bit longer and had some time to myself.
We're nervous about tomorrow. We've had a lot of trouble with our car, Josh and Dad have done everything they can think of to try and fix it with absolutely no luck, so tomorrow we have a mechanic coming out to (hopefully) repair it. We're pretty sure by now that it must be an electrical problem but we've no idea how much it's going to cost to fix it, if it can be fixed!
We're praying that it does get fixed tomorrow, most importantly because we need it to get the kids to and from preschool and Mum needs it to get to and from work, but we also have a holiday coming up in four weeks. We've been looking forward to it all year, but if our car can't be fixed and we have to buy another one, we might not be able to afford to go.

Sounds like things are going well for you all. How did you go with the car?
