I have no idea how our pays work yet. I've only been in the job three months. I'm still trying to get my head around how the boss calculates the pays. I'm supposed to be taking over the store from her and every time I do the timesheets, she changes them. She has ten years experience though so I just roll with what she does.

I only bought the power measuring device so I can see what the really bad things are. I plan to turn off the bad things and not stress about the negligible/necessary things. Unfortunately, wasted power is going to happen anyway with three kids who turn lights on all the time.

I had a crack at moving money around in my budget to build actual savings as well as save for the trip next February. I've only allowed for myself and my kids though my wife is planning to come along too at the moment. If she does, it'll only cost an extra airfare (which she can pay for) and I'll save money with her pitching in for the kids' costs. It's too far away to worry about it seriously though. I've just thrown it in the budget so I know I'll be covered.
