Hi everyone! So my day out christmas shopping with my dbf didn't work out quite as planned, however I ended up only spending 9 dollars out of the 200 I had set aside for christmas shopping. When we got in the mall we wandered around for a few hours, threw around possible ideas for people for christmas, and then decided that basically we needed more time to decide and talk to people and figure out what to get for everyone. Nice, huh? So I guess it was a wasted trip but at least we got to spend some time together. The 9 dollars came in because I found a very nice warm pair of insulated winter gloves and I had been meaning to get a pair for myself so I got them. We did spend around 50 dollars on a nice dinner though, but I had that budgeted so it was ok. The rest of the 191 dollars I am transferring to savings to have when we do decide to go christmas shopping. that way I won't spend it on something else.

Oh well!
