Overall this month was not bad. I managed to keep my food spending under budget which is usually one of the hardest things for me.
You will notice my cell phone bill is a lot higher than normal. Well there is a little story behind that. A few months ago I got a $100 credit to my bill. No idea why. But I didn't complain. Then I got another $100 credit. Still didn't know why, and didn't bother to ask. Well a couple weeks ago I got a text message from Bell, saying it was a misake and I owed it back! So I don't know if they meant I was never supposed to get it in the first place, or if I was supposed to get it once but not twice. So far they have billed me for the first $100. Waiting to see if it happens again.

Of course October had 3 paydays so my income was a lot higher than usual. But most of that last paycheck is really being spent in November of course.

And another good thing about October was that I had 11 no spend days!
