Yes problem of the freezer resolved and I will now check carrefully how much stuff I put in there,and I will have the time to check for a deal before winter.I had finish to cut my last carrots for dips(so much cheaper thant the pre cut ones at this time of the year), remaining greens peppers got trow it up in freezer for ''sautes'' for not wasting them.

You would go insane at my house. I have either the easy listening or swing standards satellite channel on almost all day. So relaxing. Hope your cable is fixed soon.

I called this morning to see when he was coming since he didn`t show yesterday. She said it was booked for today. When I called Mon I was told tomorrow. Last time I checked my calendar Mon was followed by Tues. Anyway he came today and I can watch TV again!

I must say I understand this one,when I installed the cable 3 months after I rented the appart( time to book,choose,move etc(watched dvd the first month),tel and internet with Cogeco,they did not give me a specific time just business hour of the day,so for not missing school,I asked to my father to be there,surprise they came on dinner lunch,and that took 50 min...lol.Thank you to my dad who was in holliday and lived 3 Streets away from me.I offered him in exchange the lunch and the coffee,I will always remember this error for the coffee recepies imao.Videotron call you before but I dont have a cellular lol(maybe santa me will be generous with the money saved in coupons and cheap lifestyle)

[cath007]

I just wrothe a message on Facebook to a primary school friend ex neigbours and call him to tell him to read it(on the vocal message)...it explain how I feeled when I needed is help for cleaning even it is not is problem and blablabla,and give him the choice to stay friend or not,I hate leaving a false feeling.

[Frugalbigmama]

Kitchen is cleaned from dinner, laundry folded and another load washed and hung to dry tonight. Cleaned one washroom and handwashed one set of stairs. Don't feel like watching tv (or doing anymore housework lol) Think I will go read and hopefully finish the book I started months ago. I promised my co-worker I would lend it to her! It's a good book I just seem to be too tired by the time I get to be to read. Goal 1st is to clean off the dining room table (papers/coupons etc) and put out the recycling. Wipe down the table and hutch and then to bed. Night all

[MrsSunshine]

WELL DONE Bigmama.. what a great set of accomplishments today!
