MrsSunshine and Frugalbigmomma, I am amazed at the things you get accomplished. It seems I`m not getting anything done but crocheting this month and last. I`m not complaining that things are selling but I do need to do other things too.

I am amazed at what some people do in a day too-either they are 20 years younger than crochet lady and I or they are very high energy!

Great tv night - Survivor at 8PM, 9PM Criminal Minds and Duck Dynasty at 10PM.....that's right Jack!

I was in a meeting all night last night. Left at 5:00pm and didn't get home until 10:00pm. I didn't realize that the new season of Criminal Minds had started, thanks for telling me. I missed Ducky Dynasty, but we all know that there will be lots of re-reruns, so I will catch the episode another day.

Good Morning everyone! Friday is so close! Looking forward to a long weekend (away!). Packing my swimsuit for the hot tub Really going to soak up this long weekend and will be nice not to be home (no cleaning )

Everyday is not like that at all. Sometimes after work I feel like doing nothing (and I have a bad lower back so depends on how I'm feeling)

[MrsSunshine]

Exactly what she said.. what I get done really depends on the day.. and how im feeling.. some days are shot before i get up.. days like yesterday....i have to take advantage of.. im getting there in years as well.. enjoying em while i can

I scored the razor.

The site was down and then it said they will have more in the future. Darn it!!

[saundyl]

how painlful, hope you get better soon.

Thank you, I think with the antibitoics im feeling alot better - the sinus pain has eased the ear pain is still there. I have to go pick up the other half of my prescription as the pharmacy was out and it didnt come in yesterday....otherwise im out and it wont do me anygood.

Well I`m not a happy camper tonight. The cable guy never showed up and didn`t call. The time frame we were given was between 2 and 6.Wonder if they`ll call to set a new time or just show up when they feel like it.

That drives me nuts when they dont show up but expect you to wait.

cath, I totally agree with you about SC - it's just a most awesome place to be!

Hope you have a good night, and a great tomorrow!

I Agree SC is wonderful!

We can afford living in a new area and even an increase in mortgage, but I have no clue how to pay for closing costs. I plan to get in touch with the bank next week, but any suggestions are appreciated. We just don't have that much disposable income...it would take years to save.

I found this site that tells you to estimate closing costs at 2% of the purchase price.

Also keep in mind all the costs associated with moving, for example, like the fees charged to transfer your services from one property to another.

[Frugalbigmama]

Also keep in mind if the seller has paid the property taxes for the year you will have to reimburse them for that as well.

And if it's not your 1st house purchase you will have the land transfer tax to pay as well.

Hi everyone!! Sorry for not checking in. I've been dealing with a lot of family drama lately. I really just need one day of a break... Maybe one day right!!

I hope you are all well! I will be checking a bit tonight until duck dynasty (happy happy happy!) and I will hopefully be able to chit chat tomorrow.

that's right jack! Hope the family drama settles down in time for this upcoming long weekend.
