@Ciel21 isn’t the development on Dundas crazy. DH and I marvel at it all the time, and plot our departure from Oakville. You were only 10 minutes from me. In fact I almost thought about running to superstore tonight but changed my mind. That was quite a long day for you and hopefully you will sleep well tonight.

The plumber and electrician have been delayed. Need more accurate quotes and get the work scheduled on the new house. I realized a different house related expensive financial mistake that Dh and I made with this mortgage, but it’s too late to fix it now. Feels like another undeserved blow.

I’m still looking for a teaching job. No luck yet. At this rate I’ll end up substitute teaching…which obviously doesn’t pay consistently and has zero benefits. Our childcare bill will be lower because our twins will be in school every day, but that is offset by other things.

I know it is late because I took a big nap after supper and now I cannot sleep...lol
No energy to post yesterday afternoon
I got so many no in my emailed compagnies... Seems that compagnies that still give coupons are rare...That is sad
I need to test my coffee machine I did not use it since a long time and I think I need another one...guess will see...it is the one it was at my house so old ..but brewing coffee machine is not that expensive per chance
Chilly night but I opened the living room windows for air to circulate
I received my envie of coupons from the roak today to benefit the sale I want,but no babybel so I took laughing cow cheese dippers they where 3,99$ on the shelves but I scanned it and it was 2,99$ minus 1,99$ wub 5 or more minus 1,00$ coupons x8=0,99$ each ..great for snacks!!!!

I was really in a grumpy not happy mood but still made it to maxi ,iga and dollorama
Spend 23$ at dollorama,never i spend that amount normally,but you know needed a few things...they did not have photos album and plastics pockets,want to built a album coupons,so I will diy one at the place
Before I was sleeping a lot because of depression so it is kind a new routine to be more active so I get tired easily.Need to balance my energy and food menu for my plan of life beginning august 26

Alright time for bed soon if I dont want to be more messy in my now routine.

Good night

Good Morning Everyone,
Not the best night of sleep last night. I woke at 3 am and just as fell back asleep a neighbours car alarm kept going off. Think I fell back asleep just before my alarm went off to start my day.

Getting a little annoyed we are trying to get answers on our basement as they keep calling for rain but it does not seem to be a priority. Either we get back it will be rebooked as schedules allow or they do not answer. Luckily we have not flooded again but I am worried, each storm make me nervous this could be the one.

This afternoon I think I will run to the store, I only need a few things: Milk, Cucumbers and there was something else I cannot remember, hopefully it will come back to me.

Today I need to clean out the fridge, take out garbage and recycling and start the process of tidying up the Dining Room. With the basement flood and moving stuff around on the main floor our Dining Room has become a dump zone as it was out of the way of everything else going on. So I need to get it tidied up.

Have a great Tuesday everyone

Angela-can you at least get some EI to supplement any sub teaching you get? I hope you enjoy the new house once problems are resolved.

Good Morning! I got up and went out for a bit.

Went to SDM to check the Lotto tickets in my wallet from the last while. I only buy them when the Jackpot for Lotto Max was really high. I won $112.90 on the August 6th draw!!! Wow! Tucked the money in my wallet for a rainy day.

Then went to the Salvation Army ( I always seem to pop in when on vacation and still in town) And found brand new dress shoes for $6 (I don't buy used shoes) They are perfect for jeans and work. I like black leather with a chunk heel. They are a little big size 8 and I am a 7-7.5 but I will wear thick socks. Will pop into the other thrift store later today as they weren't open yet.

I guess my oldest isn't working today because of the weather. I wanted to putter around in the laundry room but I don't like being down there when he is sleeping in. He doesn't get to do it too often.

Off to have a shower and get dressed for the day. Thinking I will even straighten my hair and put on make up!! Wow lol

Good late morning everyone!!!! It is a sunny day,suppose to be hot,the ac is on.
I checked the flyers a few good deals on fruits and veggies and provigo has the pc meat lasagna for 4,99$( i get that member price) .we like that as a fast meal.
But i am ticked I have never received and no printer atm working(no in k) to not have receive the 2$ breakfest patatoes 2$ this week because they are 2$ this week and we like those...

Off to see what the day brings!!!

Have a good day!!!

Well folks it's a great read seeing how life is treating everyone and the encouragement that is offered to one another,we all need more of that!
Not much for me to post today as my head is starting to throb and my eyes are bugging me,so gotta get off this computer.
In retrospect I should've either worn a mask when dealing with weeds in the garden or left them alone as that was the trigger for this. Oh well, lesson learned but I will probably do it again as I'm stubborn that way.
Everyone have a great day and be the blessing you would have others be to you!

Had my nails done today for a treat. Haven't had them done since December 2019 I think was the last time. I know I wanted to get them done before my trip to Mexico last year but didn't have time and then returned home to Covid Chaos.
The went and chatted with my friend while she worked. (She works for herself so go and chat and help her).

Tomorrow night we are meeting girlfriends at the beach. We are all bringing our dinner to eat there and then have a swim and chat.

I feel tired and think it's movie time and probably very early to bed. Night all!

How can it be possible that Consumers Distributing closed 25 years ago? I am not missing the old commercials.

Whenever I have entered Lee Valley Tools, I feel like it's a more modern CD store--you have to fill a form to get your products!
