    By the time August rolls around our twins will be 4! I still remember announcing my twin pregnancy on SC. It feels like a very long time ago.

    @cath007 Try the thrift stores for watches and just change the watch battery. I am still loving my $5.99 leather-like watch find at Value Village two weeks later.

    ok.. August goals and plans.

    1 or 2 things with my kids. this will actually be a bit tough... 1 is going to a cottage for a week, 1 is going to montreal for pride. we have trips to oakville to bring child and stuff to new apartment.
    give me a moment... going to have a bit of a cry... so proud of them.. but totally not ready for them to go back to school. sigh


    ok. keep a eye on the pantry. and freezer it is in pretty good shape. but ... a few good sales will fill it out nicely.

    money wise.. we are chrunching down on bills ad tightening up the budget. a few thing need to get paid off. this will be a long term thing. as i would also like to start saving for new windows..

    @giese ledta -is there a window supplier offering a promotion for you to pay next year if you get new windows or doors this year? I had such an offer this year from Centennial Windows. Might be worth a look at their windows to see if something suits your needs.

    It's Festival of Friends weekend in Hamilton, for the music fans in Gage Park. There's a nearby restaurant on King St E that serves First Nations food near the Delta, if you'd like to try something new for lunch. HSR posted something about enhanced service on the 1-King route:

    @coupon girl -did you know that the Capital One credit hack could affect Costco Mastercard and HBC Mastercard holders? I have to tell my mother. I heard last night on the Radio-Canada evening news about the affected cards. I thought the hack might be limited to Capital One Visa cards. I also printed off a Global News article to show Mom. Might be a good idea to check your card account with HBC to see if it was affected. I have to ask Mom to do the same with her card.

    Speaking of the Bay-next Tuesday, August 6 is Senior's Day. I was leafing through the new flyer and noticed a Jockey underwear (women's & men's) deal for next Thursday August 8.
