    I draw a serious line when it comes to smoking in my car. I am non smoker so No One smokes in my car, if they have a problem with it they can drive themselves.

    What fog and what drizzle this afternoon. Still managed to find 4 Monopoly stickers-one is for a small hot beverage so that means hot chocolate tomorrow!

    I had a PC Plus points inquiry to do earlier this week (missed 200 points on sparkling PC soda) and got the points showing in my account within 30min. But the PC Plus points balance did not update until I did a purchase the next day and had my card swiped. I'm glad @Sweets parrow asked about where to see her PC Points and that @Frugalbigmama answered. Since I don't have PC Financial cards, I often thought members had to check two accounts (their financial one & the PC Plus one) to see where their points are and at what levels.

    For fans of the Distillery District's Christmas Market-the weekends will have an admission charge, with proceeds being shared between a few organizations. The reasons given are to make the crowds more manageable and the experience better.

    Since I am fighting a cold and dh has a nasty flu/cold I am getting a ride with FIL because I don't want to give my mom the cold/flu that is going around the house as she has been battling pneumia because of her heart problems.

    Fingers crossed FIL doesn't want to do tons of errands but I'm along for the ride, what's a girl to do.

    Wishing everyone a great evening.

    My sweet husband went shopping after work, so I could do the CO51 for Dairy Milk bars and Pepperidge Farm Tortillas.

    Bad news is at London Drugs, the cashier didn't input the FPC for Jergens lotion, so that was a 2.99 loss. The other day, cashier at Co-op didn't use a 1.50 coupon. In both cases, there were two other coupons used just fine.

    I didn't hassle my husband about this, because he offered to do the shopping since it was nearby where he was going to pick up a parcel.

    Have a good evening, everyone!

    I really goofed today. Had a PC Plus offer for 7500 pts for spending $75. I didn`t think I`d be spending that much so didn`t write it on my list. I went over but for some reason decided to redeem $50. Could have kicked myself when I realized on the way home.

    Good Morning All,
    Went to the doc last night for another reason but decided to throw out there that my infection will not go away and I have treated multiple times and cannot find the pills which is usually what I need to clear it up. Well doc was no help told me to just keep buying treatments there is nothing he can do for me and I just have to suffer through it. So I guess my search continues I have been to 3 Wal-Mart, 2 RCSS, 2 local pharmacy & 3 Shoppers looking for these pills as they are the only thing that works for me but they are all out of stock. Apparently there is a production issue. Tomorrow I am off to another location to work for the day so I will look at some stores around there see what I can find. Right now feeling like money is flying out of my wallet on these treatments which would be fine if they were working but at this point I am getting zero relief and am just more and more frustrated. Oh well what can you do.

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions my issue is they spread internally which is why I need the pill as it fights it all. I literally end up with it coming out my skin when it gets this bad and break out in random rashes.

    Well time to get on with this day, have a great one everyone.

    Sassy, when I was in my 30's I suffered from chronic yeast infections. After months of oral and topical medications I was referred to the book the Yeast Connection and to take Acidophilus daily. All I can say is you need to read this book, take the supplements and you will never look back. The Yeast connection diet does involve cutting out sugars and flours but it worked wonders for me.Here is a link to the supplement and it is easily found, my doctor and dentist both recommend I take it when I have to start a course of Antibiotics and I never get yeast infections. I think you can download the book online. It is so worth it!Here is a little info about Acidophilus and Bifidus.

    Good Morning, well I am slightly less dizzy after being on these meds for over a week so I am hoping it will still improve. I am hoping to get caught up after doing the bare minimum for a week!
    I attended a beautiful Remembrance day service at my granddaughters school yesterday, I couldn't believe the talent in the band and choir, it was truly one of the best services I have attended in years. They did a power point presentation of the Aboriginal Code Talkers and I was impressed they included our aboriginal community in the memorial, it was very interesting.
    My best friends husband is in the hospital with end stage cancer and I have been running meals over for her so today I am popping a huge roast in the oven and am going to make her up some meals. She is exhausted and I know she appreciates being able to pop something in the microwave when she pops home for supper. I picked up the eye of round roasts on sale at No Frills this week, it looks like it has a lot of fat on it so I hope it will be good.
    I hope everyone gets the chance to reflect and remember our fallen soldiers today.

    That would be my rule as well, since I'm allergic. Our passenger never smoked in our car, but it was so heavily ingrained in his clothes that the smell completely saturated the seats and the seat belt! It's possible I'm extra sensitive because of the allergies. I was so happy when he moved in with other family up north, but he still works with DH.

    Thank you all for bearing with me. What a cranky last post I had. It was a super bad day due to some office politics.

    Congratulations on finding the hot chocolate!

    I haven't even heard of the Distillery District's Christmas Market and I lived nearby for years. Sounds lovely. Perhaps @Andit will send us some photos.

    I've heard of having a financial PC points account and a PC Plus account but that only happens if your accounts aren't linked. Mine are, so I really am missing about 20,000 points from the four 5,000 coupons that I used. Has anyone else used those coupons and still waiting for them to show up?

    It might be a good idea to call around to different pharmacies (maybe the smaller independent pharmacies too?) when you're travelling. If it is a production issue, hopefully they get it fixed and get the stock out sooner than later.

    @SassyAshley if you are talking about the over the counter med I think by Canesten, I spoke with the pharmacist about this and apparently it takes 5 full days to take effect.

    Since your docter is a male and has no idea what a yeast infection feels like, could you not go to a walk in clinic and say I need a prescription to clear this up and I would like refills as well....just a thought.

    I will admit I did try the apple cider vinegar the other day and burn baby burn it does but it made a huge difference, it dried the moisture problem right up....not trying to be grose...also sugar is not good when dealing with an infection I read that online as well and certainly no products that contain yeast such as breads etc....

    good luck

    @thriftygranny so sorry to hear about your friends husband, very kind of you to do what you do best take care of others, you are so thoughtful and considerate
    @sweet sparrow it can take up to a month for the 5k points to show up if you don't see them in a month call.
