Sucking in our Breath

Yesterday we noticed a strange charge on our debit card. $25 from the Home Depot. We hadn't been to Home Depot for over two weeks and we certainly hadn't been there on Monday when the charge was posted. And that time two weeks ago? We used cash. And $25 even? Doesn't that seem suspicious?

We've closed our debit card to prevent further misuse, we've filed a claim with our bank. We've alerted Home Depot. We've done everything we can do but...we still feel so unsafe. Please pray for us. For financial protection. For our sanity...Thanks.

Car Lock Down Week

This is our car. It's not broken down. It's not being repaired. It's in jail. Yep, we've locked our car into our backyard and we're going to see how many days we can go without driving it. So far we've gone a day and half and we haven't missed it yet! Pretty much anything we need can be found within walking distance and if it can't be we will allow ourselves to use Geary's scooter. Want to join our Car Lock Down Challenge? Leave a comment here or over at Frugally Green. We'll check back in next Monday and see how everyone did.
