Telus does not charge for the Call Control feature. Perhaps you can ask Bell if they have a similar free function. I think they were implemented by CRTC requirement. So, all providers may be required to offer such free service.

Good morning all,

Busy work day and housework day too

Got a deposit from someone (maybe a government rebate???? ) for just under $400. Wherever it came from it was a pleasant surprise.

Work calls so have a great day.

Groceries this morning at no frills ,it was busy at 8.30 also .I spent $96 after 40 .00 off in points plus stopped at rexall for my pills and used 10.00 off in be-well points on a small order.

I still need to buy fresh buns and a pie (nope dont feel like doing one from scratch as daughter will be here and i want to play with sebastian-we havent seen him in a month.) My daughter is letting him go to his other grandparent with his dad on sunday night because we are eating early,they co-parent so well.

ceil-i cant stand elastic cuffs on pjs ,so i am a bit picky there.I love the open flare leg ones or 3/4 crop pants with no cuff.

Even thou i have lots to do i called an 80 yr old friend and chatted for an hour with her today .Then hubby and i went to vote early before meeting the girls on the bus after school .I found it super chilly today ,off to change the racks around and put the tanks at the back of my closet ,bring on the long sleeve and 3/4 length tops.

We were supposed to visit friends on Saturday but they have been exposed to Covid so boo for us. I plan to spend Saturday doing errands knowing everything will be a zoo but I just don't have the time during the week, I have had an IKEA return for 2 months and its almost $100.00.
Sunday we are doing dinner with my family and my father in law will join us.
I am bringing the ham and making a brownie.

Good Morning Everyone,
This week is over and I am feeling very done.

Good news one the adjuster got involved everything happened super quick, they called my Tuesday, got all the information and said an appraiser could call me. I asked how long it would take for an appraiser to come out as I was heading out of town for work for 2 days. They said maybe Friday or next week (ok, I am home Friday and I will change up my schedule if needed for next week). Um, NOPE, literally 2 minutes from our branch I get a call from the appraiser I am on my way can you meet me at the car now, um, no, I am 3 hours away. Luckily my Dad was in the office so he met the appraiser. The next day they had my car towed to the body shop, they also arrange for me to get a rental car so my Bro has his car back (I have been driving bros car since the accident). They are saying it will take 6.5 days to repair my car.

Mentally/Emotionally I am feeling very done right now. I pushed through, I got through the week but it was hard. I was in 2 out of town branches this week which meant a lot of driving. I am proud of myself for going ahead with my scheduled week because honestly, I just wanted curl up on the couch and not leave the house.

So much to get done around the house, all week I just got the work stuff done and even then, I am so far behind at work.

Honestly, I really wish this weekend wasn't Thanksgiving, I just desperately need a couple of days to recoup and focus on me.

On that note, my kitchen is a disaster so first thing first must go tackle the kitchen.

Happy Saturday Everyone

Yes, I saw a post from a Torontonian (Twitter) about the deposit this morning. Thought recipient was a late tax filer who just got their OTB lump sum now. I have not gone to the ATM but might make a point tomorrow.

Im in BC and haven’t heard anything but then again I’m not really watching the news much ( too much to handle). Regardless I’m happy

Good morning everyone.

I’ve made 15 peach muffins, a peach blueberry crips is in the oven, dishwasher loaded and washing, kitchen cleaned and all this by 8:15am! Just going to vacuum and wash floors today and finish up the garden prep for fall.

Off to make a coffee with the Silk ND creamer that Dh got SCOP’d at No Frills yesterday
