Dh lost the keys to the garage loaner, I'll freakin out, he always misplaces keys & wallets but jeepers this is not our keys, god knows where they are as he cut the grass on the ride on and did a few other things, fingers crossed they turn up

FBM you always find such great bargains

thanks. I feel I've been slacking the last while so trying to make up for lost time. Just redeemed the last 19 pasta $1 coupons I traded for. So the pasta was free and received 200 PC points for each. So need to figure out what our families can use then we are donating to 2 places in town that are small organizations that can use it.

Good Morning! Hot day here, left the A/C on all day. The dog appreciates it lol. And we will when we get home. Didn't get too much done last night after shopping other then bed sheets. Hope to work on the basement tonight with DS's help. Not sure the dinner plan. Was going to make kids pizza from freezer but not sure I want the oven on in the heat so will figure it out when I get home. Maybe I will treat them to a DQ $6 meal deal.

-well nothing like sleeping in my own bed -ahhh
-hot today -so did a load last night dry already-and a load of towels this morning
-possibly have lady coming for a panini press I had on kijiji this morning then may pop over to shoppers for milk , whatever

[Frugalbigmama]

I bought my milk at Shoppers yesterday too, I use to all the time and then stopped. Wasn't going in there much so I guess I just grabbed at RCSS since it is the same price. But I had some personal coupons that expired yesterday so decided to use them. Apparently I may have bought too much coffee cream I'm told. Any fancy dishes you girls make that needs cream?

[jasperandchar]

Well we cannot find the loaner keys, dh called the garage and he had to get another set made which FIL will be pickingup for us but this streak of bad luck has to stop soon

[Frugalbigmama]

Bought DS 6 pairs of jeans yesterday for back to school. On top of the 4 I just got (3 were exchanges for a bigger size that I bought in November) so we should be set if he doesn't grow too tall lol. No worries for keeping up on laundry and hanging to dry now

[MrsSunshine]

early afternoon all.
busy morning. now home to tackle a few more things. tomorrow im off again.
keeping my fingers crossed for some good news this week. as i def. need it.

My mum managed to get down the front porch steps, walk to the end of the driveway and back( 80 feet?) and we will do another deck shower this aft as this is supposed to be the warmest day for 5 days. Thursday morning we have to be back at the hospital for 8 a.m. for Xray and staple removal. So we are getting there. My brother and SIL fly back home Thursday night and she lives with them-I will still come up every day as they do not feel comfortable with her showering and injections and my brother has to return to work. SIL might also lack in patience so once my house exchangers leave my Mum will come and live with us until she figures out where she wants to live full term. I was hoping to join my family on Friday in TO for the second half of our holiday but I still feel I need to be here for Mum to keep her recovery moving forward-she cannot drive either for at least 6-10 more weeks so she will need rides to apts etc. I may leave her with my DH while DD and I take our planned trip to Germany for 3 weeks but it will depend how she is doing and if he feels ready to take that one. Or she may fly to my other sister in TO once she is up for it-we just take one day at a time around here.

Hugs to everyone going through stuff.
