No Spend April UPDATE

If you remember I challenged myself to a No Spend April.  Thank goodness April is done and it is May!  I can't say it was completely a no spend month as I still allowed myself to enjoy lunch date one day a week with Ryan and we still ate out a bit but that wasn't part of the deal anyways.  I was not allowed to spend money on frivolous things for me or Colin.  I couldn't go shopping online or in stores for things that weren't considered NECESSARY.  

I am happy to report I did it!  I made it without spending money on the extras!  YAY!  I think Ryan was pretty happy about this and thus we had a budget meeting this month.  And now kids-- I'm on a budget.  It's okay and actually I'm sort of excited about it really!!  I have X amount of money each month that I can spend- no questions asked, no trying to explain myself or justify my spending.  I can do what I please!

So I'm happy to be into May and now on a budget!  How did those of you who did No Spend April do?!
