Happy Birthday Sweet Sparrow

I finally received the offer to transfer points between PC & SDM. I really have very little in the big ticket item department that I need from SDM so spending points often results in buying stiff just to use them, so I decided to go with the transfer to PC. I moved most of DHs points to my account & because I have done very little spending anywhere this year much less at Shoppers I had just enough to move the equivalent of $150.00 In PC points.
I was also able to score three more hams at RCSS for 2.49 after using the 2.50 coupon and they had a package of the ready crisp with the coupon so another package of that and I had a PC plus offer on bacon so I received 600 points for my free bacon. They also had peameal bacon on sale for 1.99 a pound for the large chunks (teen loves these) , I was surprised when it counted for fresh pork had I known that I would have bought more. Oh well now I know for next time.

Good Afternoon All,
I am working from home today. I needed a day with little to no distractions to get stuff done before I go on the road next week. I am working an event at one of our locations next week plus they have an issue I need to resolve so I will go out and stay a few days.

I had a few pick ups the last few days which is nice considering the other day was not a good selling day.
I had one person want my white shelves which are not white the description clearly states Birch Colour Floating Shelves.
Another person person offered below asking on an item and then says they are never in the area can I hold, when I asked how long answer back was No idea could be next week, few weeks or maybe not until next month.
Then I had another person I assume hope I did not know my prices as she asked for a number of items and said that comes to $$ which was half of what it should have been, I corrected her and she has now read my message but is not answering me. Funny thing is I would have been willing to reduce the one large item, still would have been more then she quoted but would have quite the deal for her.

Right now I am making flyers, flyers and more flyers for work for our upcoming events. Kind of fun but a little tricky as some of the items I need to make flyers for were not clearly laid out so I am not exactly sure what they want or what they are offering.

Well back to my flyers, I thought I was almost done and just got an email for 3 more.

Have a great afternoon everyone

Both of the twins now have a sinus problem again. I made chicken dumpling soup for supper last night. Dh doesn't like leftovers, so he complained that I made too much. I sent out an invite to a couple friends and my brother to stop by for soup for lunch today. We'll see if anyone takes me up on it. I wrapped a dozen squares and put them in the freezer. Our 3.5yr old and I ate a lot of them yesterday. I was thinking about making puffed wheat squares until I remembered that my big pot is currently full of soup in the fridge.

Our local Salvation Army announced a one day sale. 50% off regular adult jeans and 25% off furniture. I'm hoping to go when Dh gets home from work today. They are open until 5:30 and it would be quicker and easier if I went alone. I was surprised that I had good luck with their last jean sale. I'm 5'10" tall, so my jeans need to be long. They also cannot be really tight in my leg due to my health issues.

how exciting, if you don't mind my asking what was the rate of transfer, I'm hoping to get an offer to do the same.

If you have no shows for your lovely soup, freeze them in quantities for you and your 3.5 yr old son. Good luck shopping this evening.

Went for blood work this morning and then picked up a few groceries.
I got a call yesterday from the Dr. office with an appointment to see a liver specialist in London. It`s on May 17. Was shocked to get one that quickly.

[lilo0003]

J & C: it was 8000 SDM points to 10000 PC points so pretty much even and I know I miss out when you get to the higher level with SDM but right now the PC points just make more sense for us. I currently have 111 SDM points so it will be fun growing them again.
Angela: I agree on freezing the extra. I love doing this with soup and chili and it has really kept me on track with not buying lunch out while at work.

[lilo0003]

Crochetlady: that amazingly fast. I have a referral for an MRI & its in March 2017. Its not life threatening so waiting wont kill me but wow.

How do you transfer them!?

Saundyl: They (PC?SDM) send you an email invitation with a special link and that's the only way you can do it. Others have been getting these emails for a few months so the rest of us were just waiting. Once you get the invite you only have 7 days to do the transfer. You do them in increments of 10000 so it was bit tedious, but you can go either way so some are transferring to SDM from PC. If I can find the thread I will link it back here so you can see what others are doing.
