August 2021 Frugal Chatter

[Angela273]

I cashed in Eclipsa CB last week and CO51 this week. So far this week I sold red rhubarb, dill tops for canning, tomatoes (I bought plants and 1/2 of them were incorrectly labeled so I ended up with a lot of extra cherry tomato plants this year), and some yellow string beans. No real interest in a lot of the items that I posted for sale last week. I redeemed some Air Miles & PC Optimum points this week.

My DH had his hip replaced 24 hrs ago-I was able to take him home after 12 hrs-as he had an anterior incision which is a quicker recovery. He is happy to be home and DD is here too while we help him out-he is a pretty easy patient though.


Ciel I am amazed how much you are getting done despite your cancer!

Good Morning! Beautiful sunny start to the day!

My house is quiet. My youngest and his friend are sleeping still as they were at their friends house for his birthday last night and didn't get home till late. I will let them sleep and wait to do some cleaning.

Think I will pop out for a bit. Checking my pc pt offers 1st!

I woke up too early this morning. I decided to try for the radio contest this morning. They’re celebrating their 60 year anniversary. I guessed the correct answer and won a $50gc to Dunrite Glass in town.

Great new that your husband got his surgery, I believe you mentioned it was postponed a few times due to Covid.

Prayers for a speedy recovery

I said I was going to try hard not to log onto my work email but I just did. 160 emails. All dealt with. Printed off what needed to be printed off. Dealt with a few issues. Will make going back a bit easier. I will probably log back in next week sometime. oh well it is what it is.

Well I think I will go putter in the laundry room for a bit until DS's Ortho appt.

Ciel-I applaud your courage in facing your cancer. Is it untreatable or are you choosing not to have treatment? If this is too personal a question then please ignore or PM me. My eldest sis in TO has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will have a lumpectomy at the end of the month-hopefully that will be it but afterwards we will see if she needs further treatment. My DH is continuing to recover very well from his hip replacement and we feel very blessed-it took a long time but so worth it. And My American born husband quipped on the way home from the hospital-and there will be no bill coming in the mail either! They did take very good care of him at the hospital and for that I am very thankful.

Yesterday I moved extra kitchen items to the new house. It was nice that i now have the room to store seasonal items in the cupboards in the basement, instead of having Christmas baking supplies in the kitchen. I also emptied our a storage bench and moved the contents to the other house. Picked up the necessary painting supplies and matching paint for a couple of walls that need to be painted. Then I finished prepping the wall in the master bedroom before heading home to feed the kids supper.

Dh is still working overtime at work on a daily basis. It was 7:45 last night when we were able to get over to the other house. Our kids wanted to go home when it was bedtime. They got themselves tucked in with blankets on what will be our dining room floor. They looked very cute and I took a picture before getting them into the van to drive home for the night. I think the paint on our bedroom wall looks good. Dh also patched a bunch of nail holes in the living room wall. We plan in painting that 27’ wall tonight. The movers are coming to switch washers/dryer between our two houses. The contents of our medium sized chest freezer should now fit between the fridge freezers at the two houses. We’ll unplug the chest freezer tonight. The twin sized mattresses can be transported inside my van and the kids can go in dh’s vehicle. We will be sleeping in the other house tomorrow night.
