I thought of another goal. Find a new phone/internet provider. Every year, I say the same thing, but I think I've just had it with Bell. For 2011/2012, we had it at $55. Then it crept up to $57 in 2013, $82 in 2014, and now $100 this year for less service than we used to have in 2011. The least amount of service, the most amount of money. That's nuts. Any suggestions or recommendations on where we should move to?

If you haven't already I would call bell and ask to speak to someone about the rate you are paying. I called just before my surgery and was offered a renewal on my current discounts which were expiring, $10.00 off house phone & $10.00 off satellite.
Because we are rural and Rogers, etc cannot provide service I was pleased with the discount but if you are able to get other providers then I would certainly shop around and call Bell back to let them try and compete, just a suggestion, best of luck in your decision2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

Good morning, everyone.
My friend & I had dinner & drinks at the wine bar at the Longo's (yes, only in downtown Toronto can you interrupt your grocery shopping to have a glass of wine ). The SCer I was meeting up with, I hadn't met before, so it was interesting that she & her DH sat at a table beside us, wondering if I was the one she'd been chatting with online & vice versa.
The concert itself (as HTeam mentioned) was amazing! I've seen Bryan Adams at least a dozen times over the years (he's in my top 3 for best performers) and gone to literally hundreds of concerts over the years (waiting for comments about my age from the peanut gallery that I was at Bryan's first Reckless tour 30 yrs ago ). My friend & I are already counting down the days til he comes back for the next tour.
Today will be a day of rest...at least the morning will be. Off to another concert tonight (yeah, I have a life!) about the music that either influenced or was referenced in Don McClean's American Pie.
Better go make breakfast for the brats & blast some Bryan Adams. This was the song of my youth, back in my dancing days.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good Morning All,
So much to get done today, guess it is the price I pay for doing nothing the last 2 days. Good news is Mom is working today which means I have the house to myself and can do everything at my own pace.
What I need to do today:
Put through the increase for work so we are ready to roll tomorrow morning
Do laundry, we have not done a proper laundry in over 2 weeks so our basket is over flowing and insane for 2 people
Find my Tax stuff, I left it on the coffee table before my trip and now it is gone, Step Mom will drop off with account next week so have to get it to my Dad this week
Need to get stuff ready for lunches this week, I have not been eating properly as I have not been prepping
On that note I also found out I will be travelling again in March, I will be going to 2 if not 3 locations. Pretty sure it will be 3 locations as all 3 will have new staff. One location already has it's new member a new branch manager so I just need to figure out who is going to be there when as next week both my bros are there so no point in me being there as well as there is only so much room within the branch for all of us to set up and work. The other two applications had to be in by Friday so it will all depend on how quickly they find someone and get them in place. Thinking I will aim for a week in each location but we will see if my boss says no.
Hope everyone has a great day my over flowing basket of laundry is calling me to the basement.2022 is going to be my year, the year I find organization in my life and the year I focus on myself,
follow along as tackle day to day life and whatever else 2021 throws at me:

-o well I am taking a bottle of club soda back 1.67 in my pocket and gonna check the price on one item from forties -might be a scop
i had a friend at my son's house comment that she wish she was more like me -saving with coupons ,talize shopping
-tired today-my body aches from standing a lot last night -but I picked up "ashlyn" out of the blue at the partywhen I was walking around with her she gave me a lovely kiss on my cheek and I didn't even ask or it- 4 small little ones were there

Hello, everyone...gosh, this is, as far as I can recall, the first time I've seen this thread...there was one before?
I'm not much if a goal-setter at this age, but there is one I'm very excited about: driving again! Getting my independence back!
I got the all-clear from my physiotherapist and I think my hubby is as anxious as I am, having been my chauffeur for the past 9 months, bless his heart, lol...!
Like Thriftygranny, I'm considering sewing a few pieces for summer that don't have stripes, sparkles, foil prints, writing or pockets on my boobs!
Good luck to everyone in attaining your goals!

Sweet Sparrow: we had the same issue with our phone line from Cogeco, the cost just kept creeping up. We still have young kids and I am not ready to cut the home phone but 48.00 a month was insane. So in April of last year we went with Ooma. There is a cost to buy the device (maybe 100.00 from Costco) and now we pay 3.98 a month. We have had a few outages, but given the savings it has been worth it.
Friends don't let real friends pay full price.

continue clean out of cupboards, while dh works on basement. (plan is IF/when we have to move it doesn't take a week )
get a few projects going, need to get the yarn out of my cabinet before spring
paint cabinet when spring arrives. lol.
call around for a better deal on phone,internet,tv, way too $$$
watching my diet/exercising would be good too. on that note

I taught at a Catholic school on Thursday and told them that I am expecting twins. I brought a photocopy of some of the ultrasound pictures so that I could share. When I got home from work that night dh had bought red roses for me. The card said that they were for me and the twins. I hadn't been given flowers since LO was only a few weeks old. I had told dh that I wanted flowers about a month ago, but he didn't give them to me for my birthday. I later specified that I didn't want them for Valentine's Day. We've been together over a decade, so I have learned that I sometimes need to be specific. My twin nephews were born late on Thursday in Regina, so I haven't met them yet. One baby was 7lb 3oz, the other was 6lb 5oz. Everyone seems to be doing just fine.
We picked up a KFC meal yesterday for supper. We will likely be eating it for lunch. Later today I plan on doing some meal prep. I'm teaching the next three days and have things I need to do after work on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'll make chili and rice later today. I'll also boil potatoes and get a shepherd's pie ready to wait in the fridge, I'll bake it in the oven another day. This will also ensure leftovers for my lunches.Help me out with Swagbucks and we can both earn gift cards and PayPal money
