@harbie , so nice of you to help your neighbour. Yes, it is so hard when the mind starts to go especially if there is no there to help.

@Ciel21 why are you paying bank account fees? With Tangerine, free banking, free EFT, and free withdrawals from any Scotiabank machines. I haven't paid any service fees for years.Quote:

I asked several times if they wanted the product back - they said no. Recently I called about a product that I could no longer find on the shelves - it was discontinued. While on the phone, I inquired about the missing coupons, from last year. They looked and said no street number was indicated on their end, and that they would send me the replacement coupons.
This past week I get a letter, saying that in order to get my coupons, I need to send the product back! I called and explained that the product is now in the landfill somewhere, as they did not want it back when I called last year. There stance is unless I produce the product, they will not issue any replacement coupons. Ok you have a lost a long term customer. The letter went on to basically say they didn't believe I had a reaction, etc.
To everyone on this forum - DO NOT buy any Olay products! They do NOT stand behind their products which are fragranced (big irritant), doesn't absorb in the skin (piles), etc. No thank you P&G.
The dishwasher has been emptied and reloaded, ugh, it sat for a couple of days so more than likely we will need to run it again tonight.
Did the few hand dishes.
Cooked off a pack of bacon Mom took out the other day and then I did my produce prep, I feel like it took me a long time to prep this week but there was a lot of produce to be cut up or processed. The romaine, cucumbers, celery, carrots, green onions and strawberries have been processed and prepped for the week. I do still have a Cantaloupe I need cut up. I also grated our cheese for the week. I still need to make some homemade Salad Dressing and I want to make Whipped Greek Yogurt.
There are now a few more dishes to be washed but before I did the dishes I went out and did the shovelling. OH MY, that was not fun, it is the wet heavy stuff. It was not hard to get off the cars as the snow just slide off, I was able to get Mom's car out but did not even try to move mine. After clearing my car off the snow is now up over my front bumper. I will need to dig it out but shovelling the stairs was enough for me for right now.
Still need to figure out dinner for tonight. I wanted Lasagna but I will be honest, that now seems like a lot of work.
I need to take a shower after shovelling so I will see how I feel after my shower.
Wow, we got a lot of snow and it’s warming up so it’s heavy. Our very old trusty snowblower got a workout today. I had planned to stay in today although the roads are clear but my dear father in law wants a new watch battery so the younger son and I will pick him up for a trip to the mall.
The sun is shining so at least it’s pretty.
Good late afternoon!!! :)
Snowy here to in QC,I took another power nap and woke up much after the time I wanted to get up grrr.Body must need it
Noticed I did not get paid like promised and expected this week(wednesday) so will have to see what is the problem.....I will have to talk to the responsible of he program in school or call my program responsible... :( :( :( Last pay was in january...
Renewed my medication,asked for the taxes papers medication at the pharmacy and got my buss pass for the march month.
Have a good rest of afternoon everyone!!! :)
What a difference a day makes...got about a foot of snow. DW had to do the shovelling to get the truck out of the driveway for work.Fortunately the next door neighbour helped her out.Sidewalk is still buried as I can't risk shovelling the heavy stuff.Body hurts probably because I didn't walk but could also be from cleaning up around the place.Done for the day but still will do what I can.
Encouraging to read how others help their neighbours.Fortunately it's that way around here too.Can I also say how encouraging it still is to see SC people helping one another.The world certainly could use a little more of that.
Be the blessing that you would have others be to you!
So it was a tough time this morning. It’s truly heartbreaking to see this lady struggling. I saw her coiled notebook with pages and pages of “incidents” at really random hours. Very detailed notes. I was also told that when she stands in the area to write in her book she gets “some liquid sprayed on her back and legs that burns like acid “ and she points to the direction of the sprinkler :( . Apparently the fab liner under the sofa is hiding something underneath and white powder comes out when you tap it. About 2.5 weeks ago she told me it smelled like ether coming from underneath the love seat and it was making her sick. Normally she would leave when I do the floors but she stayed this time which made it stressful. It really breaks my heart.
When I got back I ripped apart the bedroom and rage cleaned. Removed the end tables, Macguyver’d a way to clean the baseboard behind our headboard, cleaned all the rails underneath (we have an adjustable bed so the tracks were BAD!), vacuumed the headboard, did all the baseboards, window, blinds, tv ,closet and regular doors, vacuumed the mattresses and washed and put on all new clean bedding and swiffered the walls. I’m done.
Tomorrow might just have to be a rest day even though I’ve scheduled a super deep detailed spring move out kinda clean for each room.
Now what to do about dinner tonight……:icon_scratch:
@harbie .....Rage cleaning! THAT is the elusive term I was looking for! I do my best cleaning when I am enraged.
There was a lack of volunteers for today’s junior boys basketball tournament with 4 games. I worked the entire event, volunteer hours that I’ll bank towards an EDO. If I don’t use my EDOs, then I get paid out for it at the end of the school year. That resulted in expectedly little school work getting done. I’m now the only one left in the school. I packed all of the meals that I ate today. I’m currently eating supper before settling down to see how much I can accomplish before heading home to sleep.
I expect Monday to be a crazy/stressful day. Elementary report cards are due that day, which I’m nearly done the comments for. The first of my second semester formal evaluations is on Monday, so I need to finalize those plans and documents for my principal…these documents go on my permanent record at this school division’s school division office. I have a new student starting on Monday. My twin girl had a dental appointment last week and both boys have their dental cleaning on Monday.
I’m exhausted and have too much left on the to do list for tomorrow. I plan on doing a quick load of laundry while I meal prep first thing in the morning, before heading to the school for the rest of the day. I’m not setting an early alarm, since I know that I also need my sleep.
Pork loin roast in the oven
pan fry chicken breast with lemon juice and dried spices (this will go with the bagged broccoli salad kit that I bought for $3.99)
Cook rice to go with pork roast and California veggies.
Cook ground beef with ground pork & onion (great pizza topping & goes well with the rice)
Fresh veggies - cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, grapes, apple
Chia seed pudding
edit: I’ve recently been using an app to earn Amazon gift cards. I’m trying to loose some weight/inches, but I am finding it difficult to do with the long hours I have been working.
Morning change of plans yesterday son called and asked if we could go to his house and watch cara as she had a fever .We said sure ,he called toronto to see if they could cancel the play they were seeing but they couldnt.
So off to sons for 3.30 p.m grabbed a pizza slice before we left late lunch .I tried to not get so close to cara as i was feeling better yesterday except for my one arthritic knee.So much fun putting my grandchild to bed and telling a storey to her ,she was in bed at 7.20 p.m.
I did 2 loads of laundry for son /his wife folded and put theirs on the floor of their room and put the girls clothing in their drawers.Then watched a documentary on disney plus with hubby ,couldnt watch netflicks as they had a locked password to put in and i didnt want to bother them on their nice date night .
Got home at 12.15 a.m .Hoping to see my daughter and sebastian this friday we are going to watch him at his jujitsu(he just started last month) and then spend the night .
Good Morning Everyone,
I slept last night but I am finding lately I do not get the same quality of sleep as I do if I take melatonin, but I do not like taking it night after night. Maybe I will discuss it with my Doc next time I am going in for something else.
Tried on all of my leggings this morning, for sure there are 3 pairs I am keeping, but I bought a 3-pack and I am not sure they fit a little different so those may go back. Mom has tried on 1 of her 2 pairs and is keeping the one but needs to try on the second.
Before my shower this morning I cleaned the bathroom but I still need to do the floor, I did not take the vacuum up with me as I wasn't planning to clean the bathroom. Am I only the only one that spontaneously cleans?
Have a feeling today is going to be a slower day which is okay. I do have a few more things I need to get done but shouldn't take too long.
Last night I decided to go with my craving and we had Lazy Lasagna, Cheesy Garlic Naan and Caesar Salad.
Tonight's dinner is a mystery, we have many options, just not sure what I feel like. We could do a Roast Chicken, or cook off a Pork Tenderloin, or there is a Chicken Dish I have been making in the Dutch Oven, it has Chicken, Carrots & Mushrooms in a creamy sauce and we serve it over Mashed Potatoes that is an option. Or it is Sunday and Mom does enjoy a Sunday pizza night, we could have pizza and watch a movie. Hmmm options, I am not always good with options.
Happy Sunday Everyone
Good day!!
Had a wonderful night away with the girls. It really was a fun packed day/night. The storm hit late Friday night but it was sunshine and clear roads when we were ready to leave the hotel after noon on Saturday.
Yesterday was a lazy day. I did wash and hang to dry one load of laundry at least.
This morning I dropped DS off at work and then hit up Walmart (clearance BLSL chicken) No Frills (mushrooms/romaine/clementines/rye bread and eggs.
Then hit Independant to redeem the 2 offers I wanted to use club pack PC Chocolate chips $5.99 (reg $12.99!) x 2 and 1 x $1.99 Ketchup.
(chocolate chips was on my list as we were out and wow are the prices really crazy on these now) Put the stuff in car and then took a walk downtown to the town dock
Now home. Just made eggs and toast for breakfast. Have a pot of basmatti rice cooking Put the BLSL in a glass container with milk and have them in the fridge to marinate for awhile Making the chicken with greek yogurt/parm cheese etc
Will have a shower soon and then take a walk to CT to see it I can work a deal with point offers I have.
The snow....ugh. We cleared some, we shoveled ( some ), all in shifts ( bad backs and knees ) and this morning DS finished off the last issue, clearing whatever was still interfering with our satellite dish. The HD channels wouldn't come in all last night but the SD channels did? It was bad enough to watch the Leafs blow another game but watching it in SD was awful. Yeah, we're spoiled that way, I prefer the crispness of HD.
Then, we totally forgot to switch the taping of SNL to SD from HD and so grrrr! it did not record.
Luckily was able to catch most of it on YouTube this morning....such a good episode too, every skit was decent and funny ( often a rare occurrence ).
Big (((hugs ))) to you @Angela273 . Your plate is still so full of responsibilities as a teacher, Mom and wife....those to do lists grows every day.
At least you are as organized as one can be!! Keep up the great work.
@coupon girl that was an unexpected treat to tuck sweet Cara into bed. Stay healthy at all costs!
@SassyAshley you had me cheer-leading along with your post until I read those 2 words ....spontaneously cleans. Hmmm, there may be a medicine available to curb that behaviour.
:lolsign:
All kidding aside, you have amazing prep skills and that keeps most of your schedule intact. Dinners are always a pita to decide upon though, I go through that too.
I did my grocery shopping earlier this morning a bit over budget... ,it is currently very sunny!!!!
Now to do the grocery and use coupons and pm is just a hassle at maxi and iga...that sucks!!!( see in first word problems section) I posted there why I say that... I wanted to pm 170 gr container of blueberries at 1,47$ from wm.....nothing at my maxi for this size...what a joke!!!!
have a good afternoon!!!

I sure hear ya @cath007 about truing to pm when stores don't carry the item in the size or way you need it to in order to do the pm. We came back home with NO new berries because of that on Saturday. Also, why are raspberries so darn expensive right now?
What a beautiful day!
Have my chicken in the oven. I had eggs and toast this morning and wanted to wait till dinner to eat. Now I am starving.
Think I will make the fresh asparagus I bought yesterday to go with dinner. Yum!
Since I work from home all week I am just going to plan the meals as I go with the main focus to use stuff up that has been kicking around.
DS made tons of pasta yesterday so I will make him a nice pasta bake for dinner tomorrow night.
Washed the dishes as I cooked so the kitchen will take 2 mins to clean up after we eat.
Then it is a Netflix and chill kinda night!
Have a great night!
Went to SDM for the 1st time in ages as I had an offer for eggs @ 2.79. Sad that we now consider this a deal. Picked up a few groceries at No Frills. Mostly the offers I had on my card as those I can’t pm to RCSS. It actually sucks that so many of my offers are No Frills only as they are not convenient for me. Season 11 of Call the midwives came in from the library so I will be on my clinch for the foreseeable future.
Happy Monday Everyone,
Not the start to the morning I wanted, yesterday I sat down and wrote my work to-do list and it is a little overwhelming, especially considering, I only have today to get it done as I spend the rest of the week in training. So my plan was to get up at 5 am and get my day started, but my body has other plans. I woke up at 6:50, still in time for work but lost two hours. But I will not let this deter me, I am going to focus and see what I can get done.
Today is laundry day, I like to do laundry on work-from-home days because it forces me to get up and move around. Especially with my current projects, they are all computer heavy so I find when I get in the zone, I can sit here for hours which is great for work, but not so good for my body. So doing laundry forces me to get up and switch loads and I am always motivated to get it done and out of the way, I hate it when I am trying to make dinner and finish the laundry.
Yesterday was a good day, I got the bathroom cleaned expect the floor (hoping to get this done today but we shall see), the Kitchen was cleaned including a couple of cupboards I noticed had stuff on them, finished all of my prep expect my whipped greek yogurt, took out the garbage. Well, I did this Mom cut up the package of Chicken Breasts I bought at Costco and they are in the freezer. Really feel like we are in a good place for the week.
Dinner last night ended up being Perogies Bake with a Salad, it was good. Now tonight, I am not sure, will see what Mom is thinking when she gets up.
Happy Monday
Good Morning!
Had my coffee and eggs and toast for breakfast.
On my break I will clean the kitchen.
Dinner will be a fridge clean out- Pasta/chicken/ fresh asparagus to use up. Think I will make a pasta bake.
The laundry I hung to dry Saturday will be put away today. Have a basket of folded towels to put away.
Have a wonderful day!

^^^ @coupon girl for the win on the coupon! Stand your ground. ha ha. It has been a lazy day ( again ) for me. Nothing has come to mind yet wrt a new recipe or meal to make.
I want to bake something using a few pkgs of both frozen puff pastry and Phyllo that I've had for a while. Maybe I'll just go to Google and see what pops up!?
Thats better than the $2.99 eggs deal offered about three weeks ago on the Sat/Sun sale!Quote:

Good Morning! Sunny day here today.
I really am anxious to clean out the garage! We are having a huge garage sale and all the stuff has to go! We will have so many plastic bins after to organize a bit and then sell the leftovers (found most of them for free at the curbside of a house clean out :))
We keep our fancy new BBQ in the garage so will be nice when all the junk is gone. Nice to be able to bbq still when it is raining/crappy out!
Well DS loved the pasta bake I made yesterday. I was able to use up tons of open bags/packages of cheese and added the chicken and bacon crumble to it. He ate it all!
We went for a drive and had a free dinner at the casino last night and brought DS back a bacon burger and ceaser salad. Working from home I feel the need to get out of the house!
Tonight I need to drop some fruit off to my oldest DS (he has been sick the last few days) I am bringing him a 4lb bag of the awesome clementines from No Frills. I picked him up a bag this morning after I dropped DS off at school.
The fridge needs a clean out to see what needs to be used up. Have done well on groceries. Sometimes keeping it simple is good and nothing gets wasted.
Eggs and rye toast for breakfast today!
.
Went to Longos last Thursday-chain no longer offers print flyers>digital only online (or on phones if you have data). Did get spring issue of the Experience magazine. The Easter meal kits are on sale now by phone or at the Customer SErvice desk (price rises by March 19). Online kit sales start on March 14.
Longos now carries 375g pkg of beef bacon at $12.99! *update-current flyer that is good to March 15-that bacon is $9.99 for now.
Managed to get a Fred's Farm Fife loaf 30% off on the reduced price rack! SCORE. Usually $5.99 but it was $4.19. Also reduced price cranberry pumpkin seed loaf.
