Love the Savings Feburary - 2015 Frugal chatter

[Granger]

Had fun reading updates from all tonight. Tomorrow's goal: no spend day. Heard the baby's heart for first time today, makes it all the more real. Had a union meeting tonight with dinner provided. Came home to a flustered DH who had a friend loiter for 3 hours and stay for dinner. We don't mind and want a friendly place to drop in, but when I am home, the multi-tasking happens and boundaries are clear (I.e. I will say something like, I'm putting the kids to bed, it's time for dishes. If the guest doesn't want to help with clean up after the uninvited dinner, he/she usually gets the it's time to go vibe). I helped hubs and put kids to bed (they should have already been asleep w hen I got home). Now he is busy doing homework for his new job...bless his heart.

Productive last hour and half. Put laundry away while getting DS to bed. Then decided to pop my chicken breasts in the oven tonight and made rice. So just have to make veggies tomorrow night quickly and dinner will be ready quick. Also boiled eggs for mine and DS snack tomorrow. Made oatmeal for my breakfast. Fried eggs for oldests breakfast (egg mcmuffins) and since I had to wait for chicken decided to cook half a package of bacon for my youngests breakfast ( he likes a big breakfast after getting up at 5 am for hockey practice). Best part all dishes are clean and drying on the counter

Thanks. I did that and it sent me to a Microsoft page that is no longer available.

It doesn/t do it all the time, usually goes back to normal by itself but while it/s happening it/s annoying.

Thanks Mrs Sunshine. I'm just getting tired of having no time to do the extras because the regular daily stuff takes up all my time. So I think I'm really going to try and plan meals better and prep what I can at least one day a week. I think since dinner is basically one tonight I can work on cleaning 1 shelf in basement ( posting stuff for sale as I go since this seemed to work last time) and be back and forth with each kid and homework. Tomorrow nights goal is to finish kids rooms.

And with that said I will go and bump my for sale ads now since I haven't in days .

Good morning, everyone.

Brats woke me up early, then went back to bed, leaving me wide awake. I have a feeling they're trying to train me to bake while they sleep so their dreams will be more pleasant.

I went through a box of old papers yesterday and got lost in a bit of nostalgia. Found a bunch of tickets to plays and concerts I've been to over the years. Now, if only I get the chance to see some of the performers again, life will be good (well, even better than it is now). And if handsome actors walk up to me on the sidewalk and hug me, I certainly won't be offended (yes, it has happened, sigh).

Off to reorganize my jewelry supplies. And get sidetracked. And spend half the morning convincing Quincy cat the open drawer is not his new bed.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

I`m doing the happy dance. Took my last prednisone today.

Woohoo!!! Time to celebrate!

Don't suppose you'd like a slice of pineapple pie? (had to use up some pineapple and a frozen pie shell - yummmm)

[Natalka]

Hoping today my sickie improves - yesterday was a see-saw kinda day...

Praying for good health for everyone!

[Frugalbigmama]

Hope you are feeling better today.

Oh I love pineapple pie. Today is day 1 of trying to lose some weight. I gained 13 1/2 pounds while on prednisone. I know it could have been worse and some of the weight is fluid but it needs to come off.
