Dentist/ Medical Visits 300$ 150$

Min. Lowe's Payment 45$ 0$
Spa 165.00!!!!! This was not in the budget.

This week I was sick and got a lot off budget, but thanks to so much help from my family the damage is not as bad as I thought it was. I did end up spending half our dentist money on medical expenses; however, I will save what is left over and reallocate the surplus next month. I missed a whole week of work, so I will not be taking a day off for the dentist this month, so I can budget the rest for April. 

Also, looking ahead, I have some home repairs associated with selling the house, so I need to think about those in the May budget. Here are the over estimated costs:

New sink top: 1000$

Faucets: 300$

Crown Molding: 150$

Spray Paint: 40$

Mirror Framing: 40$

Tile and Grout Repair: 40$

Total: 1470$ 

I hope this number is much closer to 1000$, so I need to start looking for some deals.
