Hamburgers, Blade Steak, Pork Roast and Shake N Bake Chicken all cooked and cooling. Week of meals = finished. All of the salad fixings are cut, trimmed, washed and ready to make great salads. I only have to cook rice/potatoes and an arctic garden veggie and dinners are done. LOVE this plan!

All "clothing laundry" is done and put away. Currently have our bedding in the washer and towels in the dryer.

All Sunday chores will be done by 3pm and that means I can coupon my heart out. Yippie!!!

I'm curious about peeps outside of Ontario... do you have "prime time" when it comes to your water/power usage? Weekends, Holidays and between 7pm-7am is our "cheap time". So we have been trying REALLY hard to only do washing on these times and showering after 7pm. ... makes a difference on our bill.

So, I called my grandma and told her about job interview #2. She told me "don't wear the same outfit hun, people remember that... I'm sending you a few hundred dollars.... get yourself something nice to wear". OMG!!!! She thinks it will be 1 outfit... um, NOPE.... It will be quite a few. I love my grandma. She makes me giggle.

Is it wrong that I want to eat pasta for lunch, supper and snacks today......

Mississauga has three electricity rates.

7p - 7a and weekends are cheapest
7a - 11a and 5p - 7p are most expensive
11a - 5p are somewhere in the middle

I end up with highest usage in thr mid-peak time because realistically, by 7 pm I'm into bath/sleep routine time and am exhausted. I couldnt give two craps about laundry.

does it really make THAT much of a difference to do laundry between 11-5.. im trying to keep up with the night time and weekend thing but man when we have stuff to do and im not home. it doesn't get done. so if i can toss it in in those hours and NOT break our bank i'd love to catch up then.

Welcome back Coyote! Sounds like an eventful trip!

Another busy weekend here. Celebrated dbf's birthday yesterday, and going to a Whitehorse (the band) concert tonight! Can't wait!

Yayyyyyyyy! Coyotes back.......welcome! So glad you made it back in one piece, lol! Sounds like quite the adventure :0)

I had a siesta today LOL because I forgot to take one in Mexico . My lips still look really scary; might take a trip to Dr. and have them looked at . I think that they will heal much faster here in a dryer climate though.

I am missing planning out a package for the next train . I need a buddy .

Peachy is bringing by my mail later and I am wondering if I should place a bag over my head so I don't scare her .

So many new coupons out there in just one week WOW. i need to go on a scavange hunt tomorrow . I am trying to revamp my w/l so I am stalking current VWT's to see all the w/l's.

Well your lips do look like your hurting pretty bad BUT on a side note

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the most beautiful picture ever!!!!! Now to keep it away from little hands and put it up in a safe place. It truly is BEAUTIFUL

[coyote00]

Oh I am glad you liked it . they had the spray painting ones there but a safe trip back would have been difficult as they are somewhat delicate unlike me roflmao.

I dunno...I've only had one hydro bill in this place. I'll take a look at the bill when I get home and let you know (remind me though lol). I was trying to do the same. I'd throw in a load at 7ish and then it rarely ended up going in the dryer that night...so stinky wet laundry to dry the next night. Not cool.

Ive even started throwing in the wash before 11 (I just do the cold water stuff and dry it after 11). Our dryer is pretty ghetto too and doesn't dry very well if it's a full load so I end up drying it a bit and then hang lots on the drying rack.

[Peachykeen2007]

Hmmm I don't know if that happens here, I receive the same hydro bill every month and the same water bill every 3 months - we have a program that you can get fixed rates throughout the year but if you are over at the end then they ding you but every year hydro ends up owing me as I paid too much during the year

Yah, that sounds like an"equal billing" plan so that your bills don't fluctuate too much during the year. Gas companies etc do that too (so like my old house, gad furnace would cause the gas bill to be higher in the winter, and lower in summer. Electric AC caused electricity bill to be higher in summer, lower in winter. But we did the "equal billing" so our bills were the same throughout the year, they track our actual usage, and the cost of what we use is depending on quantity and time of day, and then at the end of the year, reconcile it with what we've paid).

Frig Alexa is annoying today.

Does anyone have any recommendations for clothing labels? I wanna start sewing them in to stuff I knit but don't want crappy ones.
