Love the Savings Feburary - 2015 Frugal chatter

[Crochetlady]

Feel better soon Natalka

Got a call that my price tags are ready to pick up. Should be set for this year.

Just have the edging to do on a green gingham afghan. Not sure what colour I will do next. I only have 4 in the stockpile so far so will need to do almost all colours and patterns.

I think my cell phone is dying. Am really undecided about what to do. Really don`t need one anymore but I have almost $300 on my pay as you go account...don`t want to lose that.

Spent $7.63 at Walmart on my lunch. 4 pk of Mr Big bars ( I ate one but will put away for our next trip to the movies ) and a package of dog treats (only place I can find grain/corn free). She is worth it And $1.70 for a medium tea since roll up the rim started. I'm a sucker lol. But you can't win if you don't play

I had to laugh at first I thought you purchased your lunch which was choc. bars, dog treats and a tea and thought okay (no judging) but the re-read.

My son when he was small could not get enough of Jasper's kibble, I would have to put the bowl up hish for jaden couldn't reach and pry the kibble from his fingers, it must have been good and let's not forget trying to take it out of his mouth (ouchies a few times)

feel better soon Natalka, there is something going around

[Natalka]

Well, I feel the most 'human' I've felt in the last day and a half, this time when I got out of bed.

Yep, it's the real flu. Yesterday afternoon, I've never shook and shivered like that in my life, nothing could keep me warm - not even two huge quilts and a husband around me! Everything, every inch, absolutely ached and my limbs felt so heavy. The headache (still have) is incredibly painful. Fever wasn't terribly high, but it's just gone down to 38 now. I knew I felt somewhat better when I could handle a bite of something - I've eaten slices of half a banana over the day so far.
Hoping this is it - it has been a long time since I was this sick.

So I've just been in and out of bed, sleeping an hour or two at a time.
Just ick.

ah Nat. get the rest you need. feel better soon.

been quite a day here.
finished my project. post a pic at the bottom of here.
shovelled out two cars. got my hair done.
then found put a dear neighbor of mine is in the hospital, sweet girl. unfortunately her family has to make a decision today. we're so sad.
going to be a huge loss. we'll miss her terribly.

need to call mom and see if she's still going tomorrow for her test. wish luck on that one.

Crochetady, instead of a new phone look into a new battery. mines nearly 4 years old and the battery isn't holding a charge either. cost of battery vs new phone.

so question.. what does it usually mean when you see spots occasionally or an 'aura' when looking at things. its not constant but occasionally. i know im well over do for dr.s appoints both reg/eye. time to suck it up and go i guess.

anyway without further ado. the 'little sweetie dress' i finally finished today. its for a 6 month old. hoping to sell it.

[jasperandchar]

I had the same thing Nat and my best advice if you can is take a really hot bath it helped the aches and pains so much and even with the congestion, then wrap yourself in a robe, blakets, etc and stay warm.

are you dizzy/light headed?

[jasperandchar]

great colors Mrs. S., you are picking up crocheting very quickly.

[bobbiegirl2010]

Mrs S: Lovely dress You seem to have picked up crocheting quickly.

The spots and auras in your vision could be cateracts but don't quote me on that. Best to go and see an optometrist.

[bobbiegirl2010]

Schools closed today here too. I had 2 school age kids for the full day plus my 2 girls. Even with the younger 3 kids away today I'm still exhausted.... So ready for a nap now lol. I'm glad gymnastics is cancelled tonight so I can just veg on the couch lol.

The battery is holding the charge but after talking a few minutes it chimes and hangs up.

Are the spots you are seeing black? It might just be floaters...nothing to be worried about...just annoying. I used to get them all the time.

Cute dress!
