@lizzie bargain don't work too hard, snow...geez already you guys normally have warmer temps than in Ontario
Went to gas up on my lunch. It went back down to 91.9 L so I was happy I waited. Then on my drive back to the office I noticed a bunch of kids bikes on the side of the road. So of course I turned around and they were all free! Will post a pick tonight but I should be able to get at least $15-20 for the 3 of them I hope! Chinese food money :)
How can one work too hard with 2,5 year old and 2, 11 month old boys?-lol!
Got the afghan done...stayed up til 1:30 but it`s done. I`ve done 4 towels so far today and hope to get a few more done. I`m planning on delivering these next week sometime.
@lizzie bargain I`m sure you have your hands full.
@jasperandchar Hope you can get out to stock up on the steak deal.
@coupon girl Hope you get rid of that sore throat.
I really have been finding that I can't find the really good sales to match coupons that reduce the "essentials" personal care and laundry products. I had a real stock-pile but, like you, really need facial cleanser and body wash and I haven't been lucky enough to find these in the last while. I'm finding that I need to pass on the rest of my stock-pile of samples and travel sized shampoo etc. as I have LOTS of shampoo and conditioner left. (Had 2 GREAT BIG bottles of Tresemme that I've been using for over a year.)
I am being told by our Naturopath that dh should be using very specific body cleansers (as the skin is our largest organ). THESE are VERY expensive so I'm on the look for coupons for a totally new type of product these days.
I usually stock up on antipersirants when I can find a really good price and donate them to the Salvation Army as my dh has never liked "flavours" in antiperspirants and my brothers only use deodorant with no antiperspirant qualities. But I haven't done this in a long time either.
Good for you with the "cool weather" prep!
I would be very careful to leave enough "expansion" room in the mason jars for when the liquid freezes and also making SURE the bottles are completely cooled before putting them in there. (Hope this helps, or perhaps is just what you already know.)
coupon girl - -hey all morning -my brother last night was not doing well he was bleeding and had irregular heartbeat -had more issues than last time 10 years ago when he had surgery -prayers for him -hopefully he is doing better today
I am sending good wishes and prayers your way so that your brother moves along his healing journey more smoothly!
I spent the part of the day that wasn't already spoken for moving things away from the walls in the basement. The last part of the clean-up from our summer water issues is going to happen next week and the workers need access to the walls. Also, our new sidewalk went in this morning, so we're almost finished with the adventure.
I brought up all of my "winter" stored clothing from the closet down there and think that most of it won't fit (sigh). I bought a couple of new winter coats in the past couple of years and I hope I can "bulk up" with sweaters so I don't have to buy new ones all at once.
A friend brought over a lot of clothing she was trying to recycle. She has really good taste and has very nice clothing. I hadn't seen her all summer, though until last weekend. She's also legally blind. So she didn't really "see" that I am not the size I was at the beginning of the summer. I'm afraid that what she brought me is not going to fit. BUT also, her husband managed to spill coffee in the bin. So, I washed what I could, (there was a lovely suit that is "dry clean only") and I will donate what won't fit to our church garage sale. (There were a couple of slips that will fit.)
Tomorrow is my last pre-scheduled wedding until next "wedding season." I'm actually surprised that I didn't get a call from someone who realized that their whole families will be around next weekend and so they might as well get married. (Has happened twice before.) But we've still got time! LOL!
It's an outdoor wedding. But they have a tent. Although we've had beautiful sunny weather for 2 weeks, it's supposed to be RAINING tomorrow with a high of 11. Brrrr. I have a long-sleeved suit but I AM going to take a coat which I will whip off at the last minute. I just about FROZE at a wedding at the beginning of SEPTEMBER!
DH met with his sister and her beau today at the nursing home where their mother stays. I asked him to check about arrangements for Thanksgiving. She took this to be an invitation - which is fine, but we'll have stuff ALL OVER the place after the work in the basement. I was kind of hoping she would invite us there and we could share in the prep. Oh well, I knew we should have picked up a couple of turkeys last week when they were on sale.
DH bought 10 lb. of rutabegas and 10 lb. of carrots today. We like to cook them and then mash them together. He LOVES the taste of rutabegas but I find it a little strong. So - hoping to cook them and freeze them in the next couple of days.
Well, should go and take my doggie for a walk. He's not as enthusiastic as his brother used to be about going out in the evening. We've been covering him up with a "doggie snuggie" which I bought a couple of years ago. That way he doesn't have to wear the cone, which he hates, and he can't get at his stitches, which he keeps trying to lick.
He's a "licker" - I was thinking that there must be a "dog-lick" toy that I could get which would substitute for my face, hands, and his stitches.
Best wishes to all! See ya later!
-rested and read this afternoon -my sore throat is gone now just a cold
-just called my sister-in-law -they did compression on my brother's chest and woke him told him to stick out his tongue ,wiggle his toes then they put him back under -he has a chest infection which doesn't help (he is not breathing on his own yet)
