@ coupon girl - Please make sure that your daughter knows that she would easily be able to go onto EI medical leave for up to 15wks before the baby is born, the doctor would just need to fill out a simple form. This will not take away from her 15wks of maternity leave and 35wks of parental leave after the baby is born. Most people don't understand this.

thank you angela -I will tell my daughter this info -very much appreciated

Just checking in. Another busy Sunday for us:

church (drive separate due to double booking of swimming lessons and baby dedication)
swimming lessons (hubby to attend niece's baby dedication at this time)
family gather after dedication

It is the last lesson, and we paid for it, so I don't want the girls to miss. I made the teacher's a thank you each in a (waterproof) container with Nike Goggles (Winners) and some candy.

Tomorrow we have a meeting with our financial advisor...let you know how that goes and the new game plan for saving.

Good morning. Rained during the night but it is clear now. Guess I should get up. Getting sheets washed today is the plan. Dinner tonight is brick chicken on bbq, potatoes, kale salad and garlic bread. Cooking 2 chickens so I can use leftovers this week (chicken ceaser wraps, quesidias etc.

morning all.
My bigproject for the month... Work on front gardens. we are doing it all ourselves. and it is long hard work. but so going to be worth it.

My indoor project is my bedroom. ... it is so cluttery. I really hate it.
one of the things I am trying to do is get my pantry restocked up.
this weekend got some sales. added some coupons to my stock.
I have a bunch of stuff I want to sell.... so I need to get on all of that

today , Iam making my strawberry rhubarb jam. and maybe some pie filling as well.

Good morning!

I just put a picnic ham into the slow cooker for the day - to shred and add sauce to later, for supper.

Nice and sunny so far, just hoping it doesn't get too hot. ^ I much prefer a baked ham, but since it's that style, I've done it before in the slow cooker and it's turned out well, and I was worried it would get too hot in here with the oven on all aft.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

@J&C- Why don't you price match at Walmart for the sauce at RCSS?

I don't have a phone, tablet or flyer to price match AND they only had 4 bottles on the shelf anyways

[jasperandchar]

Morning all,

Going to tidy the cold storage/storage room and basement.

Wishing everyone a great day.

@cath007 good luck with the storage issues

-well popped into hubby's brother's house he will help us later in week with the railings
-I just repainted the older rod iron railings -saved us 800.00 by reusing instead of buying new -it tedious painting railings so I offered cause hubby has degenerating lower disc's in his back

-off to shoppers for a few items

[Giseledta]

13 pints of strawberry rhubarb jam canned, and another 1/2 pint in the fridge.

[Frugalbigmama]

Went to Marks to see if any deals. No selection so need to go to bigger store.
Redeemed my last 7 coupons for Sweet baby Ray sauce so we are stocked up for next year and bit. Giving some to our families too. Grabbed one more bottle of Aveeno body wash for .60 cents. Cantaloupe was on for .99 at Walmart so grabbed one. Sheets in washer. Couch blankets hanging to dry. Never ending!
