Coupon girl, your DH must have a good even nature. I would not last one morning run as a bus driver!
Hope you and DH can set the bonus for rainy day fund unless there is something that is needed. May as well try for some TFSA interest-earning action!

Frugalbigmama, you got snow squalls yesterday? I have only seen a couple of dustings of snow that melted when the sun is out. We have the windchill though-winter is going to be sticking around.

Waiting for community paper and the flyers to appear. Rather hope the mail arrives this morning as well. No evening out. Might glance at a bit of the NYE show with Keith Urban etc in Niagara Falls and peek at the City program at Nathan Phillips Square. Think the night needs buttered popcorn and hot cocoa!

[Frugalbigmama]

Yes our area was under a storm warning. Another 15-20 cm tonight they say so we will be staying close to home. Just want to head to store this afternoon. Need sour cream and tostitos!

[Frugalbigmama]

Well I am still in dining room. Lots of empty boxes so a good sign I think. Washed 1/2 the floor. Now to move table back and move junk out

[jasperandchar]

Dining room is complete! Including hardwood washed. I have a small pile for sale but will push at it this month to get it gone so I don't move it back in basement. Then once weather is nice it can go in garage for garage sale in Spring.

[Frugalbigmama]

Went out to get a few things. Walked out of Superstore as it was so busy and long long lineups. have what we need for dinner so we are good. Steak. Baked potatoe. Green beans. Ceaser salad. Fridge is nice and empty. Bring on the new flyers and sales for real food!

[Frugalbigmama]

. Now no one go in there!

[Natalka]

^ so beautiful!

Good day!

Have been dealing with a computer virus - hopefully I have it as much under control as I can do by myself - son says I did well with the diagnosis and fix (big praise!) and next time he comes he'll hopefully get totally rid of it. Now I just get notifications that it's being blocked. It's been a bugger over the last few days - really slowed down the computer (I was blaming it on ours being old...), it not letting me switch between tabs or windows easily, etc.; trouble running vids.

It's so much warmer today, -7!!! We'll get this for a few days before the frigid junk comes back.
We NEED snow - we have it on the lawns, but the streets are icy and rutted, so it's really gross.

We're staying in tonight - hopefully ordering food in.
Son is going to be at a gathering at the house he's staying in, so that gives me peace of mind!
