Savings takes a nose dive

October 15th, 2010 at 11:05 am

Cost to tow stolen/stripped car to impoud lot and pay for storage: $375
Cost to tow stolen/stripped car back home: $50
Price of new parts: $325
Labor: Hopefully $0 if T can do it all...
Total: $750 (Yipes.)

Then yesterday I come home to see they've delivered oil. Last year we used $800 dollars worth and I forgot they never came back late in the season to top it off. Still figured it couldn't be THAT much... Bill so far this season: $640. (Double Yipes.)

Savings is currently at 5,500. Haven't decided if I want to pay the oil bill this pay period. Probably should get it over with, but I'm too scared to see our savings dip below 5k when I could be going out on maternity leave any day now. I guess it doesn't really matter, it's going to have to get paid at some point. Bleck.

On the baby front: I went in for my 39 week appointment yesterday and still not dilated. She's up to 7.5 lbs though! When's this baby going to want to come out?!

    Come on, baby!

    Thank goodness the car was recovered quickly. Was it taken far? What was stripped? $325 seems like little was taken. Hope it was not anything that keeps the car from running, but I guess it was if it had to be towed.

    I never thought of the due date as anything except the time to start thinking I might be having a baby soon! I think now they induce. Try to rest as much as possible. Your life is going to change and you will love that baby soooo much.

    Joan - They stole the wheels/tires, battery, plugs/wires, distributor, and I think that's it. Nothing of tremendous value, but I guess it was worth it for them because it was "free". The wheels would've set us back a bunch, but T still had two old rims with decent tires left, and he went out to the junkyard and bought two steel wheels for $20 total and now just needs to get the tires for those. So all in all, it could've been much worse. It could've been stolen and never recovered and in that case I have no idea what we'd be doing right now!!

    Home - Yeah, it seems not many people actually give birth on their due date. I am getting incredibly anxious, though. Next appt/due date is Thursday so we'll see what they say then!! Smile
