I've lost weight (20lbs) and now most of my clothes don't fit very well, but I'm reluctant to spend much money on new clothes. At least I have managed to buy a couple of t-shirts and pants from second hand stores in town.

Congratulations! I lost a significant amount of weight a few years ago and purchased almost all my clothes at consignment shops. You can find great things at reasonable prices.

And actually said "don't count your chickens before they hatch.")
so i will wait until Tuesday and hope I can still buy it when the money goes in the bank.
We finally got a new to us van because we have 1yr old twins and a 4 yr old. The dealership would only offer approximately 1/2 the value of my truck. I know that they need to make money off the potential trade-in, but there is no need to lowball me that much. So now I am attempting my first private sale. Wish me luck.
Not a rant but an update to my rant. I just woke up and bought my Britax affinity (black frame and blue colour pack) stroller for around 330$ (including the shipping and import fees) this is a stroller that costs 641.62$ for the base and 206.11$ for a colour pack (the seat cover and canopy) on Amazon.ca to buy it new. They no longer sell it at toysrus.ca but it was 600$ For the frame and 150-200$ For the colour packs there when I was shopping around a couple years ago. The other strollers I was looking at were starting at 350$+tax.
while both my kids are old enough to walk to/from the school I was needing a new stroller for ds2 (he's 4) to use this winter. He's clumsy and slow at the best of times but throw in a snowsuit and ice/snow he will be falling a lot. Since I'm already expecting the sidewalks won't be plowed (they almost never are) during the winter I know I'll have to walk on the road with 2 kids. It's safest to have ds1 walk on the inside lane holding the stroller handle while I walk on the outer lane pushing ds2 in the stroller. We are easier to see and go around that way.
Mom ripped some of my coupons in a fit, but in the end of the day, I mend them back

-my daughter/hubby lives an hour away (they just had their first baby a son)whom I have only saw twice so far -wish she was around the corner or same city -ahhhhhhh
-but on a good note I get to go stay at her condo for 2 or 3 days in oct -yeah
I am planning to take my kids to the free Cineplex movie tomorrow. I was hoping some friends would take their kids too. Dh has to work and I was hoping to socialize a bit with actual adults lol. (Not talking in the movie but talking on the way to/from the movie)... Anyway they have other plans so I'll either be taking the kids alone or not bothering to go at all, depending on my mood tomorrow.
I texted hubby that I was sad about going alone but he wouldn't understand since he gets adult interaction every day. He texted me back asking if I was ok. I said I think I'll need some retail therapy. He didn't even know what I was talking about. I had to explain to him that retail therapy is an actual term meaning I will have to buy myself a few things to feel better lol.
Congrats on the new addition to the family! I had to laugh at your post a little because with traffic, my morning commute is just over an hour...and I live in the same city I work in lolQuote:

Job interview anxiety.
I`ve had tons of interviews, but anxiety puts such BS in your head and makes you so nervous :evil:
