Final shove on the $20 Challenge for May finds .61 cents in Piggy unaccounted for, taking it to the challenge. Piggy has been fattening up on the sly again!

$20.35 balance

______
$20.96 May total

YTD - 2007 Challenge Total $162.79

I have looked under every bush, couch cushion and keyboard to round up another loose four cents in order to make it to $21.00 this month, but alas, I've come up empty handed. But have just squeeked past $20 this month! Hoping to do better next month!! Perhaps so as it portends to be a three paycheck month for us and thusly a little larger allowance for me to draw upon.
