@cath007 , oh no, I am so sorry to hear you failed your exam.
Good Morning Everyone,
I woke up this morning at 4 am wide awake and decided to embrace it and get up and start my day. Already knocked a number of things off today's work to-do list and hoping to get in a few small breaks and get some house stuff done before the weekend.
I was working in a branch yesterday setting up everyone with the Test System so I grocery-shopped my way home. I will say I was a bit disappointed in some of the produce but got everything on my list except Peppers, neither the ones at Food Basics or No Frills were very good. As well I was not organized and got Raspberries at Foods Basics for $1.88 but I meant to get them at No Frills and Price Match Walmart at $1.67, oops, but still a good price.
I also ended up spending a bit more than I had planned but the sales and the points lined up so now we are stocked up. There will be a lot of time in the kitchen this weekend.
I do still need to go to Costco, I had planned to go yesterday but my plan was to be out of the branch by noon, but I did not leave until almost 2. I was on my feet all morning, I got there at 7 and did not sit until I got in my car at 2 so I did not have Costco in me. Plus I was worried about Fridge space. Mom is going to do some meal prepping for herself so I grabbed some extra stuff for that, luckily pretty much everything she needed was on sale but my fridge is pretty stuffed right now.
Happy Friday Everyone
Happy Friday!!!
We are getting the rain but I welcome it to make the snow disappear! Then it will be yard clean up time :(. We are in for a mess haha!
I am planning to get lots done around the house this weekend. Spare room is my starting point. First thing I will do is post the office chair in there for sale. Cheap $10 to get rid of it. Then deal with the odds and ends that have collected in there.
I will move my portable table in there and then I can use it to sort/sell stuff. Haven't added to my "crap Sold" envelope since last year but I am pretty sure it has over $200 in it. I will have to count it tonight so I can be encouraged to fill it :).
Have a wonderful day!
Morning sorry to hear you failed cath ,it took me 3 times to get my drivers license back when i was 36.
Son needed us at 8.00 a.m to watch the girls til noon so he could sleep after nights ,so i asked hubby if he could go .As my knees are so sore.
Daughter called me from her zen retreat this morning to apologize for when she is so snappy with me ,some things trigger her from her divorce even in conversation .Nice to have an apology i accepted as she is my daughter and i will be there for her forever.
On a good note i am getting my air mile free towels today .I missed seniors day at shoppers yesterday as i was too tired after the girls left ,say la vie their is always a deal around the corner .
Sorry you didn’t pass your exam @cath007
@coupongirl that’s the thing about family ( the good ones anyways) you always have each other’s backs and even when things are said they’re still there.
Yesterday was a rough work day but my headache (tension and stress) has eased so that’s good but my stomach was bothering me this morning due to last night’s dinner. We ended up getting Thai takeout since Dh needed to run some errands after work and it was late. We’ve eaten at this place many times before and it’s always been great but it was SO GROSS. The only flavour was the buckets of oil it was cooked in! Seriously, zero spice and mushy rice noodles. I only had a few bites but the grease was too much so out it went. What a waste. I would have retuned it but it was 8pm, we were hungry and I wasn’t interested in driving all the way back. Time fir more peppermint tea.
Car insurance for the year is paid :bawling:. Love that we have the money but HATE seeing the bank balance go down.
Im going to go enjoy the sun later this morning. Apparently tomorrow is going up to 17!:eek:. Don’t worry, the rain will be back after that.
Enjoy your Friday everyone
Yesterday I popped into Shoppers for some dairy stuff which was on sale, so no senior discount. While in the parking lot I spoke to a lady that was unloading some things from her trunk. Turned out to be a rep dropping off products, she asked if I wanted a sample, I said yes, expecting a tiny packet or tube. I was shocked when she gave me a full sized sealed tub of Cerave in a pump! I believe it retails for $30. That made my day.
Today is a rainy day so time to gather my income tax stuff together and hopefully find a free program online.
Have a great Friday everyone.
^^^^ aahh!! @barbis9 Congrats at being in the right area of the parking lot at the right time! How lovely of that rep.
Lots to unpack with all your posts today.
First, omg... @cath007 I feel so bad for you. The efforts you said you put towards prepping for that exam ( 100%, your best shot ) and now you said you must retake it.
Understandable how that can hurl you right back into a depressed state. All you can do is keep trying I guess.
@harbie headache be gone! There, that should do it. lol. How aggravating for you to have paid money for Thai " throwout " . This happens to us more than we want to admit when we surrender and order some of our favourite restaurant grub and get sub standard entrees.
:rolleyes: :hahaha:Should I even bring up that 1 big payment that came out for your Insurance? Naw....I'll leave that one out of this post. tee hee
@Frugalbigmama I shopped at FB and bought gas after my bloodwork was done this morning and I opened and closed my HUGE umbrella about 16 times! Worth it though because I can no longer " dash " through the drops from vehicle to the store doors. Great deals on the raspberries, canned gravy and the cantaloupes were large! My quaffed hair do stayed lovely the entire time out...now I could care less if the back gets flat...lol
@coupon girl awww, your DD just made things right once again. The guilt got to her.
@SassyAshley just a pic for you! Keep on keeping on!!

Barbis ,how nice is that rep to give you a nice free cerave.
Harbie 17 degrees wow ,i would love that .We are having rain and i heard a small noise as i was resting on the couch this morning snow sliding off our roof.My hubby just got home from sons and my son just called a pile of snow/ice fell off his roof and smashed his car windshield.
Harbie -i have pretty good adult kids my son and daughter ,i would do most anything for them .I have lent them money over the years,even thou experts say not to lend to family .You always have each others backs for sure.
Today is just a chilling kind of day ,resting my tired bones .lol
Walkonby-i think the yoga teacher said something inspirational.lol
@coupon girl , oh no on the snow falling and breaking your son's windshield.
At my Dad's house, we grew up with a Metal Roof and when they let's go watch out, it sounds like a freight train coming through and it comes down just as hard. I remember sitting in the living and feeling the whole house shake.
A few years ago I ran to the house to get something for my dad out of the basement, not even thinking parked right beside the house and the snow came down right on my car but luckily no damage.
A few highlights from my shopping. I got so much produce. I am ready for spring I was already snacking on Mini Cucumbers and Cherry Tomatoes with my lunch today.
I grabbed one of the Beef Roasts on sale at No Frills for $4.44/lb, they are the big cryovac ones. We will cut it up into Strips and Chunks to go in the freezer, great timing I noticed we were low on strips. The one I got was $32 plus I got 100 pts/$.
I have been struggling with Breakfasts again so we stocked up this week, I got Plain, Cinnamon Raisin and Everything Bagels on Sale for $2.77 + 400 pts/$2. As well I grabbed a loaf of the new Garlic & Herb bread to try. Plus Mom wanted English Muffins and they were on sale for $1.44 so I grabbed 2, plus a bag of Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins that had a 50% off sticker.
At Food Basics I grabbed a pack of Ground Beef/Pork blend for $2.88/lb, we will use this to make Meatloaves for the freezer.
Price Matched Zehrs and got an Almond Milk for $2.99, I am thinking on mornings when I am not overly hungry I will start having smoothies.
It was a large shop, spent more than I planned but I had not factored in the roast or the ground beef/pork but happy to have both and restock the freezer.
Also grabbed, Blackberries, Raspberries, Pineapple, Cantaloupe, Minim Cucumbers and Cherry Tomatoes.
Taxes have been completed by accountant, we have signed all the forms, now they will submit. Glad that is done for another year.
Sounds like it's going to be a wet rainy weekend.
Told DS he could put one of the free lasagnas in in the oven today if he was going to eat it this weekend. He thought that was a great idea lol.
He is all about easy dinner options!
Yikes @coupongirl about the windshield! We have nice weather now but by the the end of the weekend it’s back to rain :yikes:
Super just of those completing or have completed their taxes. I REALLY need to get mine finished but I’m procrastinating badly. Maybe I’ll tackle a bit this afternoon.
Went for a walk with my parents this morning and grabbed a coffee and a hot chocolate for my mom cause she’s a kid at heart still :cheesygrin:. Trying to get motivated for a workout.
Dh got his new phone and was “playing” with it at work and somehow set me a text that said “ Emergency sharing. The sender needs emergency help. The sender listed you as an emergency contact “ and I guess he managed to take a very bad selfie and sent it to me. I nearly had a heart attack! Called him and he apologized as he was just playing around with it and must have “pushed something” .:rant: I told him to read the manual first or I’ll take his phone away :lolsign:. I need a drink now…..it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.
@cath007 ((hugs on the exam result)) Focus on you and not the other person in class. You want this program enough to do the work and get the diploma! Hope you had a good session at your appointment today.Quote:

Good earlier evening everyone and happy friday night!!! :)
It is kind of a dull rainy day here in QC...Already did my laundry to have that off from my list.Dad put the trash and recycle out.
Really good sales this week at Maxi and cie And Super C!!! :) I really not need that much but I will check the flyers and make my usual grocery list haha ;)
About my exam ,because I am financed I tought we cannot fail but apparently and that is great news the rules of the program or the person who take care of my files is not severe because I can retake the exam and have a 15 hours of reviews in class. yay!!! :
The only negative thing is that I will finish my course 1 week after the others students and maybe the program will not finance this 1 more week..ho well
So ..for today my appoitement with psychologist took 1hour because we had a teams video call of the executive director(a women very nice and caring) ......so my custumer service exam will be the march 29 not the march 22 so I can breath a little more.And still have hours in class.And will work from home.Excel is re sheduled the april 5 and word april 12..for the moment I will not touch the other book in powerpoint and the exam for that presheduled was cancelled.
So I will work hard at home, for those 3 books and we are in holliday next friday and I will have 4 days (friday,saturday,sunday,monday) for easter hollidays too. I will writhe plans in my calendars and planning and the problem is I h ave difficulties to meet the deadlines like the others students ,it take my more time and this is a problem school dont like...
I will resee psychologist next week and I wrothe for a appointement with the person who helps me plan my time and schedule.
I have a plan and will have a bunch of questions for doctor appoitement next friday..
Today we had a 3 hours course on how to take phone call and create files..it was fun but much information and really mentally challenging demanding
We will repractice in class it was weird but fun at the same time...to see me in my futur job!!! :)
Have a lovely night,off to work in my book.I have 2 chapters,150 pages to read and a few exercices for this week end.
@Skippy : thanks :):sweet::top::flowers:
Forgot to add that it is a course of 1--- hours (1450 I think) and we have 20% time for retake exams,reviews if we fail for all the courses and matters we have,that is very little time...and I dont know how much failures during all the lengh of my course the financing program I am in is accepting..but it is not my plan to fail other exams haha..that is stressfull and challenging
Sassy, I saw the time of your 1st post today and ouch. I could never get up that early.
Harbie, I know what you mean with your DHs emergency text, a few years ago my husbands bike Garmim sent me an emergency text that there had been an event, then DH did not answer his phone and when he finally called me I lost it when he told me his bike fell over and it never occurred to him I would get a text.
Happy this week is over but I have another busy weekend. I really need a break but I am just too busy right now. The melting snow is making me happy though.
I think that the false emergency call phenomenon is only going to increase, what with this feature being added to virtually every phone or device. One news show was reporting a spate of accidental 911 calls triggered by skiers at a nearby resort wiping-out on the slopes. The amount of time and energy spent by emergency services and 911 to respond to all these false incidents is quite detrimental to the safety of others; not to mention the cost.
Good Morning Everyone,
Up early again but going with it, I do love being a morning person, I cannot lie. Something about the quiet of the morning before everything starts.
Just having some tea before I start my day, it looks like it is going to be a busy one but I am hopeful if I stay focused I can get it done.
Ugh, they are calling for snow today, like all day, ugh, I am so ready for spring.
I worked a 16-hour day yesterday, my plan was to stop early since I started so early but my boss emailed me something just as I was about to end my day and I decided it was a good time to write a manual on the process. I got all the screenshots and the photos edited and in the manual now I just need to write the manual, based on how I was feeling I did not think last night was the night to try to write it. My goal is to work on this today after I get some house stuff done.
Time to see how quickly I can get everything done.
Happy Saturday.
Happy Saturday :)
No Sun today too....and this week it will be cloundly...huh
I am so ready for spring too
Have a good day :)
Good Morning! The snow has started here. Good thing my plan is to get stuff done around the house today.
Enjoying my coffee while I surf the net and then I will get at it. Will have my shower later today and then do the running around.
I took steak out of the freezer so that is the main event for dinner. Thinking green beans, baked potato and Greek Salad to go with it! (just need to grab romaine)
Stay safe today everyone!
Morning ,hubby fixed the plumping under the upstairs sink $51,all because a toothbrush fell in .After 13 years ,i guess hard water ruins a lot of things .
It is snowing here ,cant wait for spring my skin is so dry ,plus i cant wait to get out and walk more .Yesterday was a bad day for my knees,just the one .I talked to my neighbour and she said the same thing she is 69,damp wintry days are hard on our older bodies .lol
My daughter sent me a picture of the scenery,just beautifull by peterborough ,she is snow shoeing ,relaxing ,going to a vegan cooking class ,doing yoga.All in all a retreat just for her well being.
We had to replace a toilet 2 years ago because DS flipped a shaving cream cap into the toilet while if was flushing (by accident)Quote:

Started snowing here just before 9 am and it was really coming down. They were the big huge snow globe flakes. It very quickly started to cover everything.
It is starting to taper off now but still shows it will snow all day, but it is also sunny now.
Not sure what is up, part way through my prep and all of a sudden my back just started to ache. I think it is a lack of standing on my part, ugh these computer projects for work will get you everything. But going to try to push through and finish most of the prep, might leave the Cantaloupe and Kiwi for tomorrow. Finish what I have on the go and then move to some tidying up.
The pantry needs a good tidy as does the chest and kitchen freezer, ugh, it feels never ending but always feels so good once it is done. Plus the Chest Freezer tidy will show me what room we have in it and if I need to pick up anything from Costco.
