August Frugal chatter

Happy to report my 9 yr old van passed the drive clean test. So I will drive it for two more years and save to replace ai I am a drive it til it falls off the road kind of girl. I just can't justify paying a lot of money for a vehicle. But it would be nice to drive something a little more exciting.

I hear ya lilo003 I have a trusty but rusty 2001 Cavalier - she is not pretty but she gets me from point A to point B. I have been debating on getting rid of it and that still under my debate (passed clean air last year) so that's not the debate. I will be calling Insurance co. this week to get all possible scenarios before making a decision.

But none of this will happen if my guy wants a visitor tomorrow. Than I will be off to see him. Today is his bday and he was told no visitors not even family which really sucks. He was going to talk to the doctor, not sure if his sis was allowed in as I have not spoken to him since this morning. I hated the fact that he was going to spend his bday in the hospital but to than be told no visitors not even family.

I really hope you do get to see him on his birthday. After just being discharged from the hospital a week ago, it's pretty dull being there on your own. Any word on when he'll be able to leave?

Sadly nothing yet, they were talking about letting him out 2 weeks but discovered he was retaining water and than he had a reaction to the meds they put him on so nothing yet. I believe if I am correct we are entering week 6 this week.

Could you use parchment paper as a liner?

[MrsSunshine]

i was thinking of using two xl cupcake liners and just joining them to see if it works. (flatten them first so i dont get the crinkle look). i'l try a batch first to see if it works.
