Morning! Sunshine is here now but not sure it is going to last.

I made a nice pasta dinner last night with leftovers for my lunch today and for DS's dinner tonight. I put away all the clean laundry. Then I lost my umph. I washed up most of the pots and dishes this morning but have a few more to do when I get home.

Excited for the hockey game tonight

I just loaded my PC pts. 14 offers on one card and 28 on the other. A few good ones - chicken, beef pts (will watch for clearance deals as we are pretty stocked up on meat) 400 pts per $2 on PC frozen veggies- perfect timing since on sale this week! I love having the green beans on hand since both kids eat them. 600pts on Dove. Maybe time to stock up more on the body wash with the coupon if I can find on sale. Still don't need much for groceries so will just concentrate on the deals/stock up items. Both cards should climb over the hump this weekend. Finally will hit $20 on the one and $500 on the other. Goes slow when you aren't spending!

Pretty good position to be in I think @gisel dta!

Last night on our way home DS said we should get Chinese. Had I not thawed chicken I could have been talked into it! We will get it soon but now it's something to look forward too and not just because we were hungry and tired.

Did my income tax - the carbon tax credit is a joke. I was expecting a cheque not a tax credit.

Went for an oil oil change and found out a gasket is leaking.....ugh....I hate Ford, ever since I got this truck the frequency of repairs is surprising......I miss my Honda.

I went out and got my turkey today (butterball on sale $1.67 a pound at sobeys cheaper than anywhere else 25.49 -spend 50 save 5.00 cpn I got the other day =20.49) I decided why use my p.c points when their turkeys are double the price at fortinos

(2) fleecy fabric softner 3.99-1.00 cpn=2.99 each plus 5 airmiles when you buy 2
(2) large family box of honey nut cherrios 3.99 each
(1) mellita tin of small coffee on sale 4.99-2.50 caddle and 2.00 checkout51=.49
reduced Maxwell house small tin 1.74

We took the whole family bowling last night. Ds earned it by reading a lot of books and he wanted it to be a family activity.

I had a $6 sale today. Still keeping track of my savings. I have enough Amazon.ca gift cards saved up from Swagbucks to buy a nice vacuum cleaner. I’m waiting for it to go on sale. I’m earned more than $1/day from Swagbucks.

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I’ll have all 3 of my daycare kids for the entire day. They are all very different children from different families.
