Checked my PC offers and I have the butter offer for the 3rd week in a row $1.99. Not the eggs this time.

DS is home today. He has 100% in the class he is in this week and they are watching movies with a sub teacher so I let him stay home. He will have some house projects to do

Good Morning Everyone,
Cath prayers for your dad.

Oh what a day already, my phone has not stopped ringing, so much going on and not a lot coming off my to-do-list. Hopefully now I can focus knock a few things out and then maybe move to a few house chores.

Yesterday I got the laundry done, it was washed, dryed, folded and put away. I was a little worried that laundry was not going to go well I was not sure how my arm would feel carrying the laundry baskets up and down the stairs but thankfully it did not hurt so I am happy.

I also got the dishwasher emptied and reloaded, not that we are both home all the time wow it feels like we are always running the dishwasher LOL (not really we only run it every 2 to 3 days but before Covid there were times we may only run it once a week).

Got the garbage taken out, this one hurt a little because just my luck the garbage was really heavy but got it out which makes me happy. I hate when the garbage is full.

Lastly I did start to sort through my clothes last night, I found about 10 items I am not even going to try on and I am going to part with. Most of these items are just being more realistic on where I am in life. Some of them may still fit but we are a casual office and I am a homebody, I will keep a few nice pieces but the rest can move on to their next adventure with someone else.

Not sure what today will bring yet, need to get a few things off my work to do list and then I will move on to my house to-do-list. I think Mom is going to go to Food Basics today, one items we really need is butter (Seriously!!!!! what is going on with the price of butter) I just ran out of stash from Christmas.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day

It is very important for you to have a credit card in your name. Being secondary does nothing for you. I have been after my bestie to get her own again and she finally did. It helps build/ keep a credit file for you.

@coupon girl, I was going to say the same thing as Frugalbigmama, my Nanny was always secondary on her Husband's cards and after his passing she could not get a credit card as it showed she never had one. Also like you she had not worked in over 15 years.

Not having a good credit score cause her quite a few issues.

Things we never want to think about and sorry if this upsets anyone.

[coupon girl]

sassy and frugalbigmama -thanks for the tips regarding the credit card =i may try for this new company ,if i dont quaifly what can i do (my crappy luck that city financial is leaving canada)

well I managed to book my Covid shot for Sat morning-yippee.

[coupon girl]

In my city in the covid test pilot for age 60-64 they have 4,500 doses,clearly not enough for everybody.I read somewhere there is 1 million in ontario ages 60-64.

We have to wait for our family physician to call,but i read maybe in the next does that come in of aztrazencia they will provide more doses for this age group .

My son got the moderna shot on monday (as per his job) and he told me his arm was sore for 2 days after.

Good Evening Everyone,
Not sure if it the change in weather/season but I have been so tired all week but tomorrow is Friday yippee. Just one more day.

Mom did not go out today so I think tomorrow I will swing into RCSS as they also have butter on sale. We will see how tomorrow goes. I might actually see if I can go on my lunch hopefully they will not be busy that time of day.

Did not get much done around the house today, work was just completely insane and the only break I got, I took a nice long hot shower.

Dinner today was a Taco Bake, so yummy.

Working on my weekend Meal Prep and my To-Do-List for next week, it is going to be a busy week. I have a bunch of partially done projects I want to finish around the house plus there is a number of weekly tasks I did not get done this week because of my arm. Hopefully next week work is not as insane and I can get my house stuff done.

Have a great night everyone
