My hubby found me a great app that tells me the uv index... its currently a 7, so... yea.. not working outside. hopefully I can around 6
I have lavander and strawberry plants to get in

Cool. What is the app called? I wonder if it would be helpful for where I live.

Hi All! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Busy busy here. Out of town Fri/Sat and Sun all over the place. Caught the Marlie game on Sat which was fun.

Went to RCSS AND SDM tonight. Spent $20 and change at RCSS. They had 2Lb strawberries for $1.99 so bought 3 and they are already cleaned and in containers in the fridge. Cornflakes and quaker oatmeal marked down to $1.02 (scoped the oatmeal ) Spent $10 and change at SDM (Tropicana oj was on for $1.99 with end of June expiry so bought 3. I redeemed points at both and used gift cards for the balance.

Cleaned my vehicle out today. It needed it so bad and I am so happy with it now!

Good Morning Everyone,
Back at work and feeling better although I am still quite tired. I found the cold I got really was not that bad compared to other ones I have had but it made me so tired but at the same time I was unable to sleep. Last night was the first night in quite awhile I slept through the night without waking up multiple times. With that being said made it very hard to get up today as I really wanted more sleep.

Managed to get the laundry done and kitchen cleaned up yesterday but that was it.

All of my pick ups except one cancelled. Lately I find people are interested but never confirm pick up and just want to reserve your items, it is getting quite annoying as due to the rules of the group we have to hold the items for them for 12 hours (fastest pick up no longer allowed) but then you seem to lose anyone else who is interested.

Alright well time to get back to work. Have a great day everyone

Maxi entered my cheese coupons at 5,00$ even if the cheese was 3,88$...and no overage because they dont do that..I will just go at wm next time.I have 2x10$ Olymel coupons to pass and the souvlakis and tournedos are only 5,88$ so that 's not worthed to lose the half value of my coupon....should be allowed to take 2 products in this case.....

Tried to get the 15,000 points for a SDM gift card, waited while the cashier called customer service, but still no points. Returned two items at giant tiger and picked up their chicken wings for tomorrow night. Did a load of laundry and hope to just read and relax tomorrow.

@barbis9: I bought some SDM GC and the points will be added June 15th, I think? They gave me the reference card they had and told me to come in if they didn't get awarded by that date.

The kids and I finished planting the garden by 11am. We also picked up in the yard and watered all of the plants and seeds. I’ll do a second seeding of peas in about 2wks time.

@Angela273: Are you growing peas from seed or plants? I have yet to see any in plants at the garden centers.

Saturday was a trip to the dentist. He gave DH and I two bottles of Sensodyne mouthwash to try. I got the 473 mL and DH got the 900-something mL. Hey!! My tooth is getting worse, but I still have to book a day off for it. Sigh.

I packed up one box to give to a friend and will also be washing up all the linens that go with our bassinet to give away. They are expecting a girl in July!

One box of clothes came in for DD2 from a friend and I was grateful to see all the pants.

Signed up DD1 for summer camp. I was quite pleased with the price; $150 for two weeks (nine days including one holiday) from 7:30 AM - 5 PM, including an excursion, pizza, and bouncy castle with her friends that she sees every weekend. Her other summer camp was $420 for three weeks, three pizza days, three excursions, and 7:30 - 6 PM. I don't think I will be using her school's before and after care during the summer. They want $240+ per week with no food and no excursions!

DH and I cleared up the garden for planting next week. A week late, but it's done. I did two loads of laundry and two more left to go!
