so i've been in the house exactly three weeks and i've already spent hundreds of dollars... just over a thousand actually.

only on necessities.. not on anything decorative, or things that i want vs. need.

i spent another $250 today on a dehumidifier. much needed though. with all the rain and humidity i had some mold starting to grow on my baseboards in the basement. so i filled up a bucket with bleach and water and scrubbed them down, and dad ran me over to canadian tire.

blasted costs!!

i haven't even made my first mortgage payment yet...

i've been told the costs will start to dwindle after the first couple years of owning a house. lets hope!! sheesh.
