I want to buy an easy recipe book for my son, Travis, for Christmas. I worry that he doesn't eat well enough as a bachelor. He needs to use new ideas for cooking good quality meals for himself.
I have budgeted $50 to spend on the book, which should give me something with a bit of substance. I shall probably try Dymock's Book Store first, to see what is available there. Then I will look at Chippendall's selections.
There's no time like the present to have a look.

Budgeting Helps
It's amazing that because I have looked into my budgeting techniques, I have started paying off my debts at a much faster rate than I had been doing. I am now well on the way to paying off my Visa Card. I will then be able to start saving for either the unforseen that may happen, or spend up big on Christmas, when my son arrives home for a holiday.
I have thought long and hard about Christmas presents - who should I buy them for, and how much should I spend. I already have my son's presents worked out, and have purchased the first one. The others are harder, as my friends have everything they need. I consider it is time I started my Christmas window-shopping, to see what's out there.
Also important in the scheme of things is my Christmas card list of friends and relatives which I use to send Christmas cards out. It's time I undertook that as well. I usually write a letter with each card, as I often don't communicate with people apart from Christmas time.
It's obviously time I got busy.

Budgeting for Fitness
I have begun a sponsored program called Fit 4 Life. It is a fitness program which helps members get involved in community fitness regimes. It lasts for 8 weeks, and we are now in our 4th week of activities.
Monday is a walking day, Tuesday is a day off, Wednesday and Friday are water aerobics, while Thursday is circuit training. I have many sore muscles by the end of the week.
Fit 4 Life is a fun program. It let's a person try something new, and it's easy to do, without taking up too much time. There's a variety of activities, taking less than an hour a day, and it's a terrific way to get thin by getting fit.
I'd like to continue on with my gym activities after the program concludes; however, I would need to find out what gym memberships cost so I could budget for that. I would also need to find out which gyms had ongoing classes of circuit training. I have 4 weeks to find this information out before I need to commit.
I wonder if anyone has any information on the gym programs available in Bundaberg?
