JULY 2015

CAREER: N/A

  • Design a media sheet for Allen the Alligator (N/A)

Notes: Unfortunately, Mr. LL’s knee injury made him miss more days of work than he had the time to take. So we didn’t get to allocate money as I would have budgeted us to do…at least we didn't over spend.

HEALTH: 12.5%

  • Eat out only 3 times a week MAX (25%)
