Not a bad Monday. Worked. Cleaned off the last few things on my desk just now.
Went out for a good walk on my lunch break down by the water. Popped into a few stores (I need to stop shopping!) but I don't like to over buy the fresh stuff.

At GT I grabbed the 2pk of lean ground beef for a burger bowls for dinner one night this week. Since we have everything else needed.
Dinner tonight is chicken (leftover from last night) with asparagus. I am out of sweet potatoes and they would have been perfect with dinner...Will have to wait till the next time I am visiting family and pick up the 5Lb bag at Freshco that I should of picked up the other day. They were very small and skinny but perfect for cutting up in cubes and air frying (I had in me head my quick way of slicing in half and baking which they were way too small for)

I had eggs for my 1st meal of the day...and I couldn't eat them all- I think I am officially sick of eggs. Of course we have so many cartons of egg whites on top of the 2 flats that family is going to have to start eating eggs for dinner. Back to my fav oatmeal tomorrow

The fridge needs a good clean out tomorrow- I should make a roasted pepper soup (3pk for $3.50 at Zehrs compared to them selling individual peppers at $5.99LB!!!! isn't that crazy?? I like the peppers with my eggs in the morning but since I am totally off eggs right now I will have to use them up another way. Ohh I can make chicken fahita bowls! (I love steak fahitas but trying to not eat red meat too often) Ok I have a great meal plan this week :_

@cath007 I have no Facebook. I send a message to @couponlady asking who I should contact about this site.

I have a trade in progress and is awaiting an answer and if I can get on don’t know how I will execute this

Good Evening Everyone,
The site went down for me early evening last night and came back up mid afternoon today. I always get the same error about it being the website.

I did manage to knock some stuff out yesterday.

After unboxing the glass dishes I found a home for them in the dinning room (honestly, I am considering buying a second set).

Then I cleaned out the fridge and wiped it down. I was having one of those, I know I do not have this much food in my fridge so how is it so full moment and turned out after putting things where they should be it is half empty LOL.

I wasn't going to prep but I decided to just do a few things, I made overnight Cookie Dough Oats because I have fallen back into eating bagels most days because I don't have to think about it, just decide sweet (cinnamon raisin) or savoury (Everything with Cheddar Cheese). I also made Balsamic Dressing because I have some Bocconcini I want to marinade. Also do some minor produce prep just some cucumbers, romaine and grapes. Not a lot but any little bit helps.

Today has been a busy work day prepping for full on testing and training of the new programming. I have done my part now it is time for the people who will need to use it day to day to learn it and test it. So I prepped for that.

Also took Mom's car to get her All Seasons (yes, yes we are a little behind this year) but that is done. Her car is making a lot of noise when accelerate so it needs to go, but not this week, there is just too much on my plate. Mom also asked me about getting the AC done but I just can't this week.

Also had a Doc appointment to get stabbed in the arm, he ended up stabbing me twice (I won't share details) but he apologized for having to stab me twice but now my arm is killing me. Even just sitting here typing hurts.

After the doc, I ran to No Frills, still no Beef Broth. Then off to put gas in the car, don't have to worry about hitting the $40 min for the bonus points right now.

Dinner as Pasta, I did not prep anything for lunch so this will give me some lunch options. I really need to go to the Business Centre, I saw these cute little ciabatta buns I want to try and we do have some sandwich meat. Maybe later this week.

Happy Monday Everyone.

I am wondering if anybody has contact with Anne Dougherty. She might have access to the people who own/run the page as she works for them.

[walkonby]

It was quite frustrating getting that error message. I finally gave up.

Good Morning! Another day of sunshine and blue sky! I am just expecting this everyday now!

This morning- I am going to empty the fridge out completely and give it a good wipe down and then organize it nicely.
Wash up the dishes (there will be a few from the fridge after I am done cleaning it.
Tackle a few items on my to do list.

My first meal of the day will be around noon (oatmeal with Greek yogurt topped with raspberries, banana and a few almonds!) then I will go to the lake for my walk. There is a private trail that is away from the road but along the water and it feels like you are away from the hustle and bustle and I love it!
On the way way back home will stop at bank to deposit some cash and No frills for 4 more jars of the pasta sauce for DS (stocking him up for winter) I love that they are in a glass jar.

Enjoy the day!

@cath007 yes this happened before and there is nothing you can do about it. My GT would not even take a coupon if an item is on sale.

I had a call from Statistics Canada last night and I am now in training for census follow up-what the heck more $ for the travel fund! Our team has 4800 dwellings to follow up with so that could take awhile.
If any of you haven't completed yours we will be calling you.
