Good morning!
Will drive DS to school soon.
Will make chicken fried rice today with the rice i made yesterday. Hide a container in the fridge for DS's lunch tomorrow.( he loves it)
Will make his fav pasta dish tomorrow (need the mushrooms on sale at walmart tomorrow for it!) Will grab the fresh tomatoes today for it ( pm walmart) have everything else needed.
Will dig in the kitchen freezer and decide what to make for dinner tonight. Maybe cast iron fried pork chops with green beans and oven fries or pierogies. Both boys seem to like that.

I sold 2 winter jackets (too small for DS) yesterday for pick up tomorrow. She etransfered payment yesterday which was nice. I should repost all the winter stuff i have. That will be my goal today.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning all
Went to RCSS to grab Shrimp for dinner and was hoping to find the new Dove + Bar soap coupon but not sure if it was refilled .
Going to rake leaves on the front lawn . Then I would mop the floors and put away the dishes

@Giseledta Giant Tiger's new flyer shows 2pc winter themed pj sets for girls and boys at $12.97.

Friend and I plan to visit an out of town location tomorrow as it's been 3.5 months since our last visit. Pasta is on sale for $1 (900g pkg Primo) and I intend to get some if it's available!

We found a $5 bill in a parking lot after a big box store visit. My friend got a $5 scratch card and today we saw that it has won us the $5 back. Plan to claim the money on our trip tomorrow.

Ms. Sunshine is beaming on this chilly but warming-up Wednesday. Trying to get enthusiastic about doing some useful things but my back is still off from Monday's raking and bagging efforts to corral the leaves. At least I got groceries yesterday (yay).

Sorted all the laundry to be done and decided to put a load on. I am out of clean yoga pants and I hang them to dry so best to get that done so they are dry and ready to put away tomorrow. Will wait till after 7 to put bedding in the washer and hang it to dry overnight.
Cleaned out 2 bins of odd socks and too small clothing/crap. In the garbage they all went. Just want it gone. Now I have a clean bin for odd socks and hopefully I can keep on it when I find mates!

Made the chicken fried rice. Will cook up the pork chops now. Kitchen is clean. Will just have to wash up the pan after the pork chops are done.

It is so beautiful out. I feel like I may take a drive to Costco since I need something I can't get anywhere here without paying a fortune for it. (Coconut or Rice flour!) Will see how I feel at 4.

Don't forget to save PC Pt offers. I just did one card now I need to do my main card.

Laundry hanging to dry. Kitchen clean.
Time to go out and enjoy the sunshine!

Good Evening Everyone,
Good day here got quite a bit done for work but keep finding things I put "Band-Aids" well I was working in the branches that now I need to back and find permanent solutions for.

Got a few little things done around the house but nothing major, I always find Wednesday is my blah day during the week. I just completely wiped down the kitchen and was going to do the few hand dishes but Mom said she would do them tomorrow.

I had been planning to go to our out of torn branch today and then going to Costco but it did not happen. We need a few things from Costco but hoping our shop will not be too big, although it might be expensive as I need some of the bigger pricer items we only buy once a year. Probably not our best move but for some reason we always seem to buy them around Christmas time which was not good timing on our part but I think it is because we used to only go to Costco every few months and Christmas time has always been out big shop.

Feeling quite tired tonight, think it is time to lay on the couch and watch some TV and then early to bed for me.

Have a great night everyone.

Giseledta I am totally with you on the self care weekend, just last night I was thinking snack foods, movies curled up on the couch with my blankets sounded good.

[coupon girl]

Yes a self care weekend sounds great -i have had a bit of stress as dealing with hearing about a family problem for the past 2 days .

Goodi Morning!

If the weather is as nice as it says it should be this weekend then I hope to be outside enjoying it! I can't believe how warm it is right now already. Guess I could have hung my laundry outside to dry yesterday had I done it in the morning.

I promised DS his fave dinner tonight (Chicken Tetrazini) Easy to make and just need some mushrooms. (.87 WM) Will stop at WM after I drop him off at school. Taking the chicken out of the freezer now!

Have a wonderful day everyone. Easy day to get my steps in with this weather!!

Just checked my pc pts offers. 2nd week in a row I got the $1.99 Butter offer.
SDM-I also plan to redeem 60,000 pts for the Cologne sampler (reg $90) x 2. Put away for each of my boys birthdays next year.

I went to Costco last night on the hunt for coconut flour. Didn't get it there but picked up the new hardcover Wimpy book (youngest DS Christmas- He collects them and its my tradition to give every Christmas) and another pack of mens socks since they were on for under $9 for 8 pairs. Starting my oldests birthday bag (Feb)

I deleted most of my ads of stuff for sale but just had a message for a pick up now for a new pair of DS's too small jeans. They are out on the porch for pick up Everything sells eventually lol

Laundry that was hung to dry yesterday is put away.
Pasta cooked for dinner. Chicken cut up and ready in pan to cook up.
Kitchen clean.

Good news. Thought my dishwasher was broken. Found a deal on new dishwasher. Free installation (family). Was chatting about it on the phone and touched the start button and it works! Geez. So we will continue using it and at least I know I can have it installed quickly if needed. Same thing happened with my stove over 3 years ago. Wasn't working. Googled and was told to take the back off and pull out wires and put back in and it worked! Still going strong! At this rate I will never get new appliances lol

I made cupcakes as a self treat, and have some bath bombs for tonight and will do a pedicure.

My friend makes bath bombs etc and I helped her on Monday since she is stressed and busy. She gave me a bunch of products to try. My room smells so good I should have a bath and use a bomb tonight!
