"Fall" into September Savings

[LuvToUseCoupons]

I think when it comesto birthdays - whose turn it is to call shouldnt matter. In regards to your other brother - it sounds like you have attempted to make amends and hes not responding. I would ask your parents perhaps to invite him out when you are there so you can see each other in neutral grounds. If he refuses the the ball is in his court and its his problem to be making attempts not yours.

Nancy my answer/suggestion is similar to this.
Ask your Mom to call him (that way you don't have to worry about calling him and possible getting his GF), and tell her to tell him that you're coming to visit her for a couple of days and you would love it if you could get together with him for a coffee, and just take it from there, extend the invitation to him, meet with him, and just start talking, he is your brother you miss him, and I'm sure he misses you too.

Yes, having kids in daycare is hard on the everyone's immune system. My friends child was sick today too so she had to keep her home from daycare so we couldn't walk at lunch today.

Took a look at the flyers posted for the up coming weekend. Started my list. Happy to see my 3pk romaine hearts on for $1.88 (plus I always get PC PLUS pts) so will be having lots of salad next week. Too expensive this week! Will also buy a bag of the basmati rice that is on for $6.98. And Large pumpkins, 3 for $5 Yeah! That is the price I like

Hi All,
Busy weekend so didn't get on.
Yesterday was a bust day....but now I'm all caught up.
Off to get the little one, then dance and a meeting at school this evening.
I just love how my kids volunteer me to help at school.
Np it keeps me busy, and make them feel proud.
Dinner tonight is easy...tacos, we all love it, and it's easy to eat and run out the door.
Have a great evening all .

I tried to get the Sample Source this morning but couldn`t get on. Just got home...thought it would be over by now but I did manage to snag 4 samples which is more than I expected to get this late.

Went out for lunch, dropped towels off at a store, went to a greenhouse for tomatoes and then stopped in to visit friends on the way home. Now I need to get to work but the break felt good.

Thanks. I saw your message at 8am and was able to order just before I left for work. I texted my mom and a friend, they were both able to order their samples too.

i got 9 samples and one of the magzines - think i picked canadian living but im not remembering now. Been a busy busy day at work.

I splurged and got myself a pop after lunch. Otherwise even though it was payday I did not spend anything.

Tonight is either leftover porkchop or some leftover ham as it is just myself eating at home. Boys are with their mom this week. BF tends to eat at work or eat at like midnight so he can fend for himself in the latter case.

My sister's Christmas pressie came in. So excited I'm done a couple people now.Got another amazon card which once i get a 3rd I will be placing another order for at least one more gift (I have 5 i've decided on on there.) my plan is to have everything ordered by the second week in November at latest as things have to ship way up here before we go to my moms for christmas. If i was smart I'd ship them there but then she thinks she needs to wrap everything and im stuck going what is it what is it and not getting to...fondle the boxes before they get wrapped.

We got our power bill - it was 150 lower than august (which was way over budget)so I wont cry today. I have about 112 dollars going into my over budgeted for utilities account - Power was 100 dollars less than planned, cell phone 6 dollars and shaw 6 dollars less). Very much looking forward to having that account com January because we have an unpaid 10 days off between christmas and just after new years day.
