The Pampered Ladies Package Train

[shawshank]

Wow that was a lot of pages for me to catch up on today!
There are some things I think I forgot to put on my list:

Tide Pods-samples are good too!
Downy unstoppables(green)- samples are good too!
Oh ya and a MAID!!!!!!!!! Would love one of those for the rest of my life! Bahahahaha!

[K8's Fate]

why is it easier to post in one post.....I find it easier to find my buddy example if my buddy is Nat and click on her posts in this thread.......just my opinion

I personally find it easier.

If my buddy has posted 50+ times, then that's a lot more reading (even with only clicking on only her posts), than reading one post that contains all her answers.

I just find it easier to keep track of answers in one spot.

$5 to spend on myself -a coffee and a book at the used book store

I was thrift store shopping on Thursday and just about had a cow.. I can't believe how much Goodwill and SA charge for used books! On average, paperbacks were $4 and the hardcovers were $6 "and up" at Goodwill. I guess I better start watching the Church rummage sales if I take up a lot of reading again.. wowsers!


Will put all my answers in this post from now on:

1.) Do ya'll get Mother's Day presents(other than the ones your kids make at school?) ?
Nope, not a Mom, other than a furbaby and her presents are usually left in the litter box...
2.) Buddy do you any favourite Easter chocolates that I could pick up for you on the post Easter sales?
Trying not to have any extra sweets, but if a Rolo egg, or Mars/Snickers egg made it's way to me, I wouldn't turn it away.
3.) Buddy do you want anything from Michaels?
Nothing specific comes to mind, but I do have some craft items on my wish list, so if they are affordable there.. then sure!
4.) What size are your feet?
6..
5.) What is your favorite color?
Turquoise, and pretty much all shades of pink.
6.) Are there any books you want? Any specific titles/authors/genre?
I have some magazines on my list, but also have the Ball Blue book of canning.. again, a unicorn pipe dream as I've only seen crazy expensive ones.. but if you find a rummage sale, and it's an edition from the 60's or 70's, I'd gladly accept!
7.) Do you have an E-Reader?
No
8.) What are your family's names and birthdays?
Nicole - Dec 6/72
Steve - July 27/76
Gracie the Cat - May 24/11 (when we celebrate, as she was a shelter kitty)
9.) How do you feel about knit dish cloths? Homemade socks?
Knit dish cloths.. no thank you, my sister makes these but i'm usually a j-cloth throw it out kinda girl. Socks.. sure, me or the BF like to have warm feet!
10.) Is there anything from The Body Shop you would like?
Not sure what they have, but if I love coconut and if i smell like the beach, can't go wrong.
11.) How tall are you?
5'2
12.) If you found $20 and had to spend it on yourself, what would you buy?
If it's not on couponing? Likely check out the 19.99 shelf of perfume at Shoppers.. my fave is Lovely by SJP and i've lucked out here once!
13.) If you found $5 and had to spend it on yourself, what would you buy?
I'm going to steal some ideas here.. clean eating magazine..I have tons of recipes "pinned" but somehow paper in front of me makes a difference. Or a magazine on organizing the home (on WL) Woman's Day Magazine, Family Circle Magazine.. something like that!
14.) Anything you from San Francisco?
I will likely bring myself back something food related.. I believe Ghiradelli chocolate originated there, so perhaps something from there (although I don't NEED it) or something from China Town.. I think I most excited about this!
15.) Anything you forgot to add to WL
Moisturizing Hair Mask...
Rubber tipped kitchen tongs.. dollar store is fine
Granulated garlic from the bulk barn
Adobo chilis in a can
Peppercorns.. never tried any of the coloured ones..
Spray bottle for olive oil
16. Short or long hair?
Long
17. Cell phone?
I have a Blackberry Curve, which I hate.. wish I could go back to my old Nokia flip fone... battery lasted forever, and I was able to text my BFF blindfolded.. the BB buttons are just WAY TOO SMALL!
18. Tea, bags or loose leaf?
I'm not a huge tea drinker, but I will go an a tea kick every now and again. Usually it's only bags as that's what I have near me, but would be open to trying loose leaf. (I do have a tea ball thingy somewhere) I love Chai tea, Roobois(sp?), Earl Grey and Jasmine.. not as big of a fan on the fruit teas. Have had loose green tea in china, but there it was just steeped in the bottom of the cup and I kept choking on it, lol.
The closest David's tea to me is the north side of London, I'm the south side of St Thomas, so about an hours drive.. so far, I haven't ventured on that trip in case I wasn't a fan. If you want to send me a sample or two of the David's tea, I'd love to try it!
19. Stuff from SDM?
Unstoppables... finally used a sample and love it on my sheets!
Black mascara.. any brand, as long as it's waterproof.
Moisturizing hair masks..
Wet kitty food.. Friskies, Whiskas, Fancy feast..
20. Stuff from the US..
Clif bars, unique flavours
Reynolds crock pot liners
Diet cherry coke..
21. Julesie's Movies..
Erin Brockovich.. think I have or have seen most others a hundred times.. (except for the potty one!)
22. Something from IKEA
One of their blue shopping bags
Their 49c toilet brush.. if they still have them, love that I can toss them every couple of months and not feel guilty!
23. Feminine sample pack..
If it's something for tampons, then sure.. otherwise, no thank you..
24. What do you take in your coffee?
Two creams.. yep, just can't make that transition to milk..
25. Whats your favourite store?
Hmm. Actually my new favorite is Hobby Lobby in the US. Stopped by one on my last trip to Michigan and LOVED it! Kinda like a cross between Michaels and Homesense..
26. Can you cook?
Yep, love it..
27. Do you wear perfume?
Yes.. lately I've been using Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker, or Just Cavalli Her.. both found at SDM. But.. if I can ever manage to justify the cost.. my absolute fave is Happy by Clinique.
28. Buddy we have a Lindt outlet in Edmonton, buddy do you like lindt and do you have a favorite?
Just not the blue balls please , not a big fan of dark chocolate... (slinking to the corner
29.Do you like to play card or board games?
I used to love card games when I was younger, but don't really hang out with that crowd anymore. The BF isn't a big card player. I have board games.. they just don't get used much.
30. Favourite TV show?
Don't watch much tv, the BF has a new movie on download every night. BUT.. when he's not around, I do turn on the food network.. I like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.. and Eat St., I think I meant to run a food truck in my next life..
31. Do you collect anything?
Brown pottery, crocks.. not intentially, but I have a growing inventory of depression glass too.. the pink is my fave..

32.Does your child have a favourite cartoon character?
No kids.. but the BF is quite the character himself..
Buddy, if you have children, would you mind getting some toys that are slightly used (but are still in great condition) as extras for you little one?
Used is always fine.. however, the only child I have at home is 37.. so if there is an age appropriate item, I say go for it!
What are the shirt sizes for you and your family?
Me - M
Steve - M-L (depends on the cut.. Large to be safe)
But really, I have tons of shirts and am somewhat picky about fit.. (ie. no rolls can show)
Do you scrapbook? Would you start if you receive an album and some embellishments?
I admire those that do.. but I don't have the patience or time..
Can I get you a small mickey bottle from LCBO, if so what would you like?
Hmm... this will sound dumb but not sure what all comes in Mickey size.. I am out of Grand Marnier at the moment.. but even a funky fruity cooler would be good.
Do you drink red or white wine?
Don't drink wine at all... blech.... Now.. Prosecco, Italian sparkling wine.. ok...
Samples:
Unstoppables, Garnier 28 day cream, any face/eye cream untinted, Dawn dish soap
(pretty much all on my WL...)
Do you need any couponing stuff? Pens / Stickers / Envelopes / Stamps / Letter Opener.....
I think I already have envies on my wishlist, pattern packing tape, maybe some of the bigger manila size envies..
Do you have any pets, if so do they need anything?
Yep, Gracie Lou my kitty... she is always needing wet food.. any brand is fine.. and the soft type cat treats, like pounce...
Do you drink hard liquor, if so what kind?
Not often.. I have quite the liquor cupboard but it barely gets used.. Tequila is my claim to fame...
Can you stack? If you can't or can is there any item that you would want??
I can't stack, boo hoo, but Dove Nourishing Oil Shampoo & Conditioner are always on my "for those who can stack" list...
What is your MOST WANTED ITEM?
Hmmm.. I can never pick just one... I'd be happy with anything on my list!
Buddy do you like Aveeno/ Burt's Bee's products?
I use Aveeno curl enhancing spray gel... never used Burts Bees.. but the BF likes their chapstick
Movie Vouchers
No thank you as I have loads of Scene points from my Dad.. and my BF downloads every new release under the sun...
Magazines
anything on organizing the home, clean eating, canning and preserving, Self, Taste of Home, Family Circle, Woman's Day/World, Martha Stewart.. Used is perfectly a-ok.
Green Items
toilet cleaner, glass cleaner, cleaning wipes
okay do you prefer baths or showers
showers, i'm totally off baths right now, don't need another episode and knock myself out!
what colors do you like for ...make-up, lipstick, nail polish
lipsticks would be neutral beiges, pinky beiges, or light pinks, prefer more matte than shimmery.. nail polish I have tons of.. but any colour works.. if it's too dark/bright for my fingers, i will wear it on my toes!
do you have anything else you would like to add to
For People I Love section
coming to mind as he sits next to me eating ice cream out of the carton with a spoon.. one of those extra long spoons, or a personalized ice cream bowl...
Buddy do you need a new coupon binder. ?
Nope, my binder works awesome.. other than the fact I never take it to the store and often miss out on unexpected finds.. I'm on the fence about an etsy coupon bag.. I like that it's sort of like a purse, but not sure I can justify the cost...
Buddy would you like a photo frame that says Family on it?
No thanks.. just me and the BF at home, and I HATE my photo taken.. I will run and hide if a camera is pointed in my direction.
What type of body sprays do you like? brand also
I love the Hawaiian Ginger by Calgon, but am good and stocked. Julie Jolie made sure of that on the Advent train! But.. I would be open to a coconut body spray.. on a gloomy day it would cheer me up.. I always think beach when I smell coconut.
What is your favourite restaurant?
Favourites would be Mexicali Rosa's in London, or Curry's.. but they are local I believe. Chain wise.. every once in a while we go to Boston Pizza or Swiss Chalet.
If you have fur kids, are you ok with home made (natural, wheat free) treats?
Sure.. she's not picky..
if you were to get a spa package (big or small), what would you like included in it?
Neck massage would be top of the list.. i'm always tense and have tension headaches because of it.
Buddy does your little ones like beanie babies? you?
No thank you..
Buddy do you like personalized items ie name on pens or month you were born stuff?
I have return addy labels on my wishlist, but some of those, "from the desk of" stickies or message pad things would be great.
Astrological sign stuff?
Sagittarius, not big into astrology and that kinda thing.. My MOM however is huge into Astrology, Reiki, Meditation, Crystals.. and such.. I always tease her it's her "Voodoo".
I know getting something from the $$tore is considered as extra so Buddy is there anything that you would like from there?
Any of the envies or couponing supplies from my wishlist.. coloured sharpies, kitchen utensil on my list or what i've posted in the thread, medium size plastic bowls with the blue screw on lids.. i think they come in a 2 pack? There's probably lots more.. just drawing a blank!
Buddy question I am going to our local trade fair this weekend one of local companies is called very berry honey out of Tofield ( they have a website) they make the most amazing organic honey mixed with all sorts of fruits and spiceshttp://www.bearyberryhoney.com/index.php
Buddy can I pick you up any?
Oooh, yummy! I've been thinking about making my own infused honey a la Pinterest.. just haven't gotten to it yet. Will have to look at the link and might do an order myself.. but any infused honey, creamed honey would be awesome!
PB Cheerios
I assume the US and Canadian ones are the same? I have a box from the US that I LOVE.. but missed the Bogo a while back.. So yes, would love some!
I have a question for my buddy....sleepshirt or pj's?
PJ pants and a t shirt.. cotton pants in summer, fuzzy's in winter.

[DMS54]

Oh I'd love a cake pop pan too! Things to add to my wishlist - gum (DD goes through a ton - any mint flavor), Small coupon binder that will fit in my purse - mine is on its last legs! If I had $5 I'd buy a magazine and Tim's coffee. From SF I'd like a shot glass! My hair is short!
