Our son and I walked down to Dollar Tree to buy coin rollers and candy canes. I was already credited 25c from CO51 for the candy canes. The coin rollers are needed to help our son deposit the money from his piggy bank.
I picked up a free adult bike off a local local garage sale Facebook group. It will need some work, but looks ok.
I spent an hour this evening and managed to wrap nearly all of the kids gifts. I didn’t do anything fancy and wrote their names with a permanent marker. I finished the end of 3 rolls of wrapping paper. Dh was just commenting the other day about how long the Christmas wrapping paper lasts. I bought 4 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper at a church garage sale for 25c. I also keep and re-use gift bags, but didn’t use any for the kids so far this year.
oh and last night at daughters condo on the floor of recycling room I got some free white paper and I beer can
-today may go out as snow is coming Monday ,I can always put my tree up on Monday
I found these.Quote:

Going to spend the afternoon making centerpieces for DD, MIL, Mom and DS and his fiancé and of course for myself. Cost will be around $20 for all saving about $200.
I had another sale for $15 today. I sold those toys that dh’s work have to our twins. I sold them for $15 each, which I then used to buy them appropriate gifts that they will really like.
My dad and his wife sent us money for the kids for Christmas and gas money. Our little family will be driving up to stay with them for Christmas this year.
Cooking a roast for late lunch so DH has a real meal before working tonight. Cleaned the veg crisper and a sad bag of potatoes for what wiill be a yummy tray of roasted veg and it will be dinner on Monday too. Spent some time in the freezer too. It's amazing what you can pull together with bits of stuff.
I’m so bored with food lately. I know I need to cook and feed the family, but not much seems interesting. I also have a hard time figuring out what I should eat for supper or breakfast. I want to bake treats, not actual meals. One of the problems with Treats is that I don’t have many people to feed them to. Some of my friends and family members have diabetes. I will still bake some of what I want, but I should continue to look for diabetic friendly sweets. I also need to do some meal planning.Quote:

I need to prep food for my healthy eating the next few days so I took out 3 packages of chicken. Will make them perogies and veggies to go with it for dinner. While cooking dinner I will make 3 oatmeal mason jars for my breakfast the next few days.
Taking a pork roast out tonight for the crockpot Tuesday morning. Leftovers Wednesday.
Only picked up milk yesterday. We have tons of clementines to eat up this week. A few bananas. Been using up the odds and ends of bread from freezer.
Kitchen is clean and dishwasher is going. Will put away when done then dinner dishes can go in.
Laundry is mostly done and put away. Doing teens now and it will be put away right away.
@Angela273 can you suggest a good square/treat for a diabetic. My brother has just been diagnosed this year and in the past I would bake him his own tray of hello dollies. They are definitely out now.
I also had planning and preparing food, but Sundays have always been a roast and veg meal, DH is a Brit so it's our thing. DS's job kinda messes that up. He also likes to cook so at least once a week he does the planning and cooking.
@lilo003 I’ll have to look and get back to you regarding diabetic friendly baking recipes. Angel food cake is actually a good option.
