Happy Canada Day to everyone
Our lips are sealed!! lol
All secrets are safe here.
Generally well. Ive spent alot of time lately working on transcriptions in the evening . we've been camping as well and spending other time outside electronic free. My garden is in and sprouting. Nex tyear im not wasting timeand money starting plants because everything i started died and i ended up buying more plants anyways!Quote:

The last 2 weeks ive been on my own at work as my coworker has been in the hospital (released today)
I searched for macrame plant hangers and found 2 to purchase locally for 15 each. Thrilled becausr they ended up being double hangers! Been selling a few things on facebook. Money has either gone to allowances or to the brick for extra payments on our washer dryer from may.

Happy Canada Day All!! I didn't keep up with June's chatter as much as I had hoped too - going to try better this month! ;)
Saundly sorry for the loss of you uncle.
Good news about your grandmother
Up and at work, we will wait to see what today brings us, I do not expect us to be busy because yesterday was the holiday not Monday.
Might go to the store after work as we have our meeting this week so might grab some supplies to do some baking plus Chocolate ice cream was requested for dessert.
I almost have the bubble sheep done so hopefully I can get that one out the door and today Mom is supposed to get her co worker who wants this Charcoal colour yarn we cannot find to pick a colour so I can get her sheep done and out the door.
Not sure what will get done today when I get off, we will have to see how I feel. So far so good today but yesterday afternoon not sure what happens but whole body just started to hurt so hoping that doesn't happen again today.
Have a wonderful day everyone

I am home alone with 1/2 a coconut cream pie, very dangerous :yikes:
Pulled the summer clothes bin as dh is in shorts mode :shrug: and I will try and put away my clothes as well. Well it appears that I have put on a few pounds since last summer perhaps it's the bacon (haha) or my new found love for sweets (stupid menopause).
Wishing everyone a great day and It appears that we will not leave any earlier than Monday or Tuesday for the cottage which is great news, however, I may get a free pass as dh needs to do a couple trailer loads of buildind supplies and with my OCD and driving there is no way I'm venturing off pulling a trailer.
Wishing everyone a great day.
QOTD:How many years a portable computer could last ?
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Home from work, yippee another day down.
I had to stop at the hardware Store, our toilet broke yesterday, had to pick up a new handle which I have now installed.
Also stopped at the store to grab a few things I needed for the manager's meeting this week. I have decided to make Copy Cat Wendy Chocolate Frosty for dessert. Also grabbed a cake mix to make some chocolate chip cookies. Will look up a few more recipes to make thinking of some no bake cookies to keep it simple.
Just going to have a cup of tea before I decide what to tackle next. Hope everyone is having a great day
Had a quote from the repair tech guy for my toshiba satellite portable computer.........i am very sad,mad and frustrated that it would cost 100$ and not warranty so i will just purchase another usaged portable as a 2 portable computer.My toshiba satellite had 6 years and cost me reusinated 280$ so no worted
Lovely day here, we made a trip to Home Depot as we need tile to fix the laundry room floor but we can't seem to find the size. We also looked at fridges as ours is crap and now it's popping open. I may have convinced Dh it's time to buy a new one and relagate this one to the garage. We need more fridge space than what we have. But that is a fall budget plan as right now I want to return the laundry to its proper state. I was able to sort through more stuff and drop a few bags off at Value Village. I am also going to try and sell some of the kids books sets on a local sale site.
Well, the saga with my son's truck continues. A week ago it was broken into and the ignition destroyed and lying on the floor of the truck. Insurance had it towed to a garage - they were nearly done with it when someone siphoned most all the gas ($60 worth) out of the truck at night. Anyway, my son was so frustrated with people targeting his truck, he just traded it in at a Mazda dealership for a Toyota with low kms. He had to pay some out of pocket but this little car will save him a bundle in gas and probably a lot of headaches. Feel so bad for him - what is it with those people who loaf around without work to create all sorts of trouble for people who only try to work and do their best.
that sucks BUT I'm sorry to say that Honda & Toyota are very expensive to insure because they get stolen, I would suggest putting all the bells and whistles insurance wise.Quote:
