Good Afternoon Everyone,
Pretty good day here, I did not work again. This is now 2 weekends in a row I did not work.

I did not get as much done today but that is okay, I made a Sheppard's Pie for dinner. Mom made a Roast the other day to use for Sandwiches but said the Roast was dry so I made a Mushroom Gravy and turned it into a Sheppard's Pie. Also made some homemade Potato Buns to go with it, they will be nice o soak up the gravy.

I also made Spreadables, I love these but do not like the price so I have started making my own. I turned a full thing of Butter into Spreadables so that is 2 containers, one for the cupboard and 1 in the fridge for later.

I also made a Raspberry Ricotta cake using come Raspberries I found in the freezer.

Laundry is done, just need to get the last load from the basement and fold it.

I cleaned as I went so the kitchen is clean which makes me happy.

Mom was supposed to be off this week but they booked her 3 or 4 days this week so really I think she just has Tuesday and Wednesday off and maybe Friday. She was supposed to be cleaning the house, we will see. I for sure have an event Tuesday and maybe one Thursday for work so that kind of throws off my week a bit, as I am not sure what time I will get home these nights.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day, off to work on more Christmas Presents.

Man that weekend flew by. DH and I went to the RV show Friday night. Our plan is to buy a 5th wheel or a class motor home when we retire and hit the road. It was fun to. look and it made me miss camping, we may buy a small trailer in the next few years just to get back out there. We had a pop up that we sold last summer as it was just not getting used. But the kids are older now so it would just be us.
I am loving the new SDM that’s 2 minutes from home, I was able to take advantage of the 20x event Saturday, but forgot I could not double dip the points with my milk offer. I rarely get that offer and this week both DH and I had it. Then to add insult injury I forget to use the coupon I had for milk. But I still score 16000 points so not all bad. I will also get 5000 for using my PC MC.

My migraine has been particularly bad this weekend. I had three interviews with potential daycare families this week. Some went good with promises to send payment, other parents were rude and treated me very poorly. I currently don’t have a signed daycare contract with any new families.

I took ds for a 1hr bike ride this afternoon and we collected a grocery bag full of bottles and cans for SARCAN.

I did a big shop at Sobeys then checked my receipt before leaving. There was $6.65 in errors, which I was refunded for. 166 AM earned $36.99 in coupons
I bought a 1lb bag of Mann’s sugar snap peas for $3.99, best by yesterday, regular price $6.99. We had some with supper tonight. They’re still pretty good.

I am so debatting since I started school if I need a cellular or no....and deconnect the principal line of the house....Every student listen some music in class for working so I am missing that....but a cellular is expensive i will see if I can have a deal ,,,any suggestions ???

A least we are allowed to have water and coffee in the class lol to concentrate

supper is chicken ,cheese and macaroni salad
made a small list for grocery shopping tomorrow morning dont need that much but I will so miss the 1,00$ yoplait coupons for my smooties

right now I am relaxing with a casal domingo and some music

The cell line vs home phone line debate-your home phone won't sound during an Amber Alert (for a missing person) but a cellphone will at whichever hour the alert is broadcast. That means it can sound off during a text/exam/job/your sleeptime.

Home phone line if with Bell-usually runs in all weather, even if hydro is off. Cell phone servers can go offline due to weather or service or hack situations.

What does your father say?
