Well, happy days coming up. For those who recall my article in the Brock News, it has lead to something much bigger now!

On Monday, I have a telephone interview with one of the senior editors of MoneySense Magazine! - Who knows what else this incredible opportunity will lead to!

@Angela273 thank you for pointing out the no frill coupons. I was able order them and you can't go wrong at that price, the younger son likes them. @johnb56789 this sounds amazing. Money Sense is a great magazine.
I am loving this burst of summer weather. DH had dinner ready when I got home from work and we ate on the deck.

Enjoy the day!

Morning! Yesterday was my long day. Work all day, work through my lunch to get DS to his 2 things in the evening. I still managed to do 2 loads of laundry and put one load away lol. Tonight a school function so won't be home till around 8 I assume.
Will carry on with the laundry since I want it all done for the weekend.
Tomorrow night I need to go shopping for Spring clothing. I am long over due!

I woke up in pain at 3 my period decided to join me I went back to sleep at 5am and woke like a minute ago it’s now 7+am . It’s suppose to get up to 19C today and it’s hella sunny outside already.

I was going to do my laundry today but first day of my red friend I don’t think that’s going to happen. The cramps are unbearable at the moment.

I don’t have to do anything actually I have a call coming in from my debt counsellor to see where I am at with things.

Saved money $30 thanks to the free income tax programs from CRA link posted by @Shwa Girl

Ordered more paper coffee filters for my Keurig reusable filter from eBay - looking for unbleached ones but they are expensive. Have an appointment this afternoon and definitely don't mind taking the bus as it is gorgeous out today.

Happy May 2, Smart Canucks! Another hot day. in the Southern Ontario area. Of course online, I find out Haagen-Daaz (US) will be giving out free ice cream cones on May 8 from 4-8pm (paging @Arvilish if you are still in the US this month).

I don't have ice cream but I have ice cream cups. I'll put some frozen fruit mix into one later today and see if that is refreshing or not. Still have to go to the LCBO to get the new Food & Drink magazine.

Yesterday was shoe buying day-I found a pair of runners & socks for Mom and a pair of slides we both can use in the backyard. I also got some greeting cards and pop and library magazines on my two trips. Now I have to be really careful with money for groceries for the month. Glad I purchased Jane's chicken strips last weekend ($4.99 at Longos-$4 coupon) so I have something for the cooler weekend meals.

I expect to have less other money for May as a major road will be closing in one section for 4 months of waterworks construction. Since I'll need a hat if I decide to use the other route to get to Terryberry library, it'll be a matter of timing good weather with a hat. Speaking of weather, I'm not liking the forecast. Tentative plan for cutting grass is Saturday but if there is lots of rain, I'll have to wait for Monday. @SassyAshley -thanks for the gas price forecast! I plan to budget $6 for a partial can of gas next time I get some (probably before the Victoria Day weekend). I may have enough for two more weeks of cutting.
