my horizons are being expanded by some of the meal ideas! So thank you! Thank you too for also being there for each other, it is so good to see this in action and in this day and age we could use it more.Kudos to all of you for your contributions!
Good Evening Everyone,
Lost track of time this afternoon, it was 1 PM and then before I knew it, it was after 3 PM, I always prefer losing track of time vs time standing still but feel like my afternoon got away from me. I did not get anything done around this afternoon, but this morning I got the couch blankets done and the last load of pinks/reds is up in my room to be sorted.
I almost have my closet dug out (better known as the pile is stuff I just did not want to deal with). I am struggling with the pile because a lot of items in the pile are gifts that someone gave me and they have outlived their life with me but I feel bad getting rid of them because someone bought it for me. Should I feel guilty? Does this happen to you?
Dinner tonight was Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches with Oven Fries and Cesar Salad because I lost track of time and had nothing out but I am not complaining. One of my original options for today was Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches but I was going to make Sweet Potatoes to go with it but due to how late it was Oven Fries for the win.
I have started my to-do-list for the weekend, it has been a week so I want to get a few things done but also leave some time for resting and relaxing. I think some Netflix and Chill time will be needed this weekend. I think I will wash all the bedding this weekend and do the floors on the main level plus some Meal Prep.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day
Good earlier evening everyone!!!! :)
Managed to accomplish all the things I said today so that is good to kept my mind busy.Tomorrow I will make my grocery list for saturday and I a little bit stressed I have 7 price matching to do (but all in the same flyer super c) Generally I only do 2 or 3 lol.But 1$ in various place will save some money for buying more healthy things like fruits and smoothies.
After the big cleaning of my expired coupons I have about 10 coupons left that are still good that suck..will try to email and call some compagnies sunday
I am glad my father car is not in the street with the snow...The car is in the coop autorized parking at least.So no infraction bill for the snow.
Now it is snowing in QC.
Have a wonderful evening and night!!!! :)
I realize I sleep better with relaxing music and relaxing perfume smell in my bedroom like lavender so I will try that tonight.
I forget that I have 2 big containers of change to count and use so I might do that too..Dont want to go into counting machine they charge you 30% of the amount to change it in bill...that is ridiculious.
was happy that my dad called me tonight before he called just the between 11 AM or 1 in the afternoon...The hospital found him a plug for is cellphone so he will call me more often!!! :) And we can talk more not just like 2 min
Cath - i am very glad you were able to talk to your dad.
My principal touched base with me twice today. She asked permission before sending a condolences email to me and notifying the school staff.
Our babysitter baked 2 loaves of banana bread. She’s offered to make cinnamon buns, which Dh loves. I asked and she made a pan today. She says she owes Dh better cinnamon buns.
I made roast pork with onion, hash brown casserole, gravy, unsweetened apple sauce, and steamed California veggies.
I did a quick Sobeys trip for comfort foods. I bought chocolate milk and over priced cheesy bread sticks for myself. I bought chips and dip for Dh.
((((Hugs to you @Angela _273 and your family on the loss of your MIL.)))) You have good people around you in RL and their open-heartedness to help is such a comfort.
@cath007 Thrilled that you balancing your needs with updates from father! Glad that your aunt is available to help you with some things-let her know she's your Wonder Woman relative! Wow on the 30% fee from coins-thought Coinstar only took 9%. I was looking at the one at Sobeys (I don't have that many coins) today and thought how I'd love to feed coins into a machine. Yes I miss vending machines...
@Frugalbigmama Mail coming for 11 years for past owner? That's persistence on someone else's part. Love that you and DH have walking goals for the next big outdoor adventure.
BTW, is your DS commenting on how he'll have to bring a bigger water bottle to school when the temperatures go up? I have not heard if schools are allowing fountain use yet or not. I noticed in Winners very large (almost 2L) plastic water containers (like jugs or oversize water bottles) for sale near the cash line-up maze. Kids won't be keen to carry a knapsack for water and school lunch and a second knapsack for school books and work in warm weather. I almost foresee a smart kid figuring out how to run a frozen treat side business if s/he can figure out how to get a freezer pack to last some hours filled with freezies or popsicles and get it into school.
@SassyAshley 2021 you is on a roll. Catch that wave as long as you want that momentuum to continue (and you do have momentuum!!).
Do what Marie Kondo does-thank the item for its time in your life (and maybe the giver) and wish the item well on its next journey. Let it go (if it's easy to replace. If it's a discontinued item, set yourself a limit of 5 might need it laters (5 clothing items to keep) but no more than that). You are creating room for new opportunities and wardrobe (besides you can feel like you gained real estate when there is more empty space for awhile).
Get a job with DoorDash and then use the foil-lined carrying basket. :)Quote:

Visited Winners #2 for Woolite accessories but alas, nothing in stock and laundry stuff is now in an aisle, not the back wall. Found a jar of jam and package of clearance napkins to buy. Sobeys-found different Compliments napkins assortment (and had 6 AM pts offer if I bought one package plus 10 bonus AM if I spent at least $20) so soon I will have more than enough points to do a $10 redemption in March and walk away from the card program. YES! I did not score in the cola dept-no cases of Coke with Stevia. I was very very sad and had to settle for 2x2L pops of different flavours. Even checked the single-serve pop areas and no new flavours of Mountain Dew were seen. Vanilla Coke and Diet Coke Xtra infused pops were in stock.
Now I have decided I must hike to Avondale this week to check out what's in the store's pop fridges. Local Shoppers might have stock soon but will wait until I have a photo order to do before looking at the store again.
Spent time on a couple of different kids store sites and realized that a local place catering to small kids has some decent books and puzzles. Bookmarked some items for future consideration but must be willing to pay $$ to buy. My inner kid wants a small book collection and a puzzle and a toy...so far. There's a crinkly fabric white sunny-side up egg toy with embroidered face being sold as tactile toy (also a leaf version). Must admit that someone took the crinkly wrapping paper idea to a more retail-friendly item idea! Need to jot in my journal about why my inner kid is so demanding of kids' stuff lately...:razz:
forget to said we will have another maxi and cie even we have already one for next fall I think...they will be in the old local of loblaws not a coincidence lol
No car and no cellphone. But hey, that very firm sent a $5 off delivery coupon in the mail today. Too bad Bro has a Blackberry so he cannot get the app.Quote:

@lilo0003 Your FIL is making a big decision and good for him to recognize that his living situation has to change. Have you or DH been asked to help with visits to prospective sites or go to seniors complexes with father-in-law? Hope that MIL is telling what she'd like to have too.
Far shot--but might there be a family relation or friend with a main-floor area open to the in-laws or an in-law suite with perhaps some yard access? Just to expand that possibility if feasible and to have people around them and nature access/porch place to see neighbours walking by).
Morning i didnt get a lot of sleep (maybe 3-4 hours) as my dear granddaughter went back to the children's hospital at 5.30 p.m last night my son/his wife dropped ashlyn off as she had been off school all last week.They were at the hospital til 10.30 at night doing tests on my tiny granddaughter age 3 .They did an ultrasound ,xrays etc .
I kept ashlyn overnight here we played and i gave her a new colouring book ,as all week she has been so helpfull and good with her little sister sick.
My son said they have to take her back to the hospital this morning.So keep my little granddaughter in your prayers that everything will be okay .Thank you .

Sunshine all weekend so will be sure to be outside.
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Today is a struggle, I am feeling overwhelmed and my head is spinning, never a good combination.
Thinking I may take a break shortly and see if not staring at my computer screen helps.
So happy it is Friday and I have two days off, I might have to work late tonight but I want to get everything off my plate before the weekend.
I have started on my weekend to-do-list. I have stuff to get done but trying to keep the list short and sweet so I make sure I have time to just relax, it is needed. Also have some Meal Prep I want to do but again keeping it super simple this weekend.
Have a great day everyone
Dh’s work had flowers delivered to our house today. They’re beautiful, but it made me cry.
@coupongirl (((HUGS))) will keep your granddaughter in my thoughts and prayers .Quote:
