Decided to take a vacation day tomorrow. Plan is to do tons of housework/laundry tonight.
In morning- send DS off to school. Pack gym bag and go to gym and shower there after (save water lol) Drive to Casino for free concert tickets (selling) have a free lunch of salad and chicken. Get $20 in free comps to take home to boys (drinks/chips) Hit Costco for passport picture. Should be a fun day.

I went out yesterday spent tonnes of money I think more on my friends then me I picked up shampoo & conditioner,
Blush palettes, powder foundation, glittery nail polish, nail polish remover, ruffles those coconut chocolate cookies, rubber gloves, peanut butter Easter chocolate. And on different friend a box of freezies and a bag of chips. One more friend later on that night some ejuice called sour smurf.

Me I got a tonne of junk food...trials and tribulations of a woman with her period.

In the process I gained 30,000pts at shoppers yesterday.

I’m not posting as much because I have to login and wait each time that I want to post, comment, or like anything. I’m finding it inconvenient.

My new daycare was injured on Easter weekend, so he won’t be back until next week. My oldest daycare child is leaving my care next week. She has been with me for 2yrs and has become good friends with our children. She’s a good kid and likes to be helpful. She’ll Be missed. I’m still looking to fill spots for May. I still have 2 full-time daycare kids. We applied for our twins to attend Pre-K in the fall. We won’t know until some time in June if they will be accepted or not.

We’ve been enjoying the good weather. I’m continuing to pick up bottles, cabs, and juice boxes to recycle. Dh and ds took our stuff to SARCAN this morning. They came home with $52.95. We do this about twice a year.

Every jug of milk comes with a 25c deposit and an 8c enviro fee. We go through about 5x 4L hugs of milk each week. We get the 25c deposit back from SARCAN, the 8c enviro feel the government keeps. Two years ago there was a $0.01 deposit on milk containers but you didn’t receive anything when you recycled it. The enviro fee was less then too. I still pick up a fair bit around town, which is free money.

I was going to give my bottles today away to that kid that needs them for school but time restraints saw to that and I don’t think I will be able to do it tomorrow either. I’m sore and tired. i need something decent in the way of rest. I have to turn off my buzzer or guaranteed someone will buzz me from downstairs asking to come up to see me. Sleep deprivation is a real thing with me. Good thing there is nothing tomorrow turning off my ringer. The only thing I am waiting on is a package from Victoria.

Falling asleep laters all

Used $30.00 worth of coupons yesterday - mostly from my samplesource box. I just wish cashiers weren't so slow processing them, as I usually get people behind me complaining. I found McCafe $1 off coupons, so I grabbed a bunch as I drink it at home, and easily go through a bag of coffee a week.

Popped into Shoppers and stocked up on cat food (20% off seniors and $10 card for spending $50). I cashier was nice and let me get more stuff when I came up to only $47 dollars, however I overheard an elderly lady complain that I was holding up the line.....turns out it was someone I know, who is always so negative. surprised though as seniors day is always packed at this Shoppers. I never expect to get out fast when it's so busy.
