Hectic Monday
It's Hectic Monday again. Everyone starting the new work/School week. Sorry i had not posted for a few days. Took some time off to spend w/ the family.
Yesterday went to the grocery store and we spun out because of the snow. We didn't get much just 3 inches and we thought the roads were pretty much clear until on the way home. We went down 72cnd street and there was a slick hill there. THANKFULLY there was enough room in between cars that we did not hit anyone. There was 1 truck and he moved way over for us when he saw us spinning. My nice hubby stopped the car he slid it into the snow off the side of the road, otherwise we would not have stopped until we hit something. If we would have slid much further off of the snow we would have been in a ditch too. It was more than scary especially when we saw traffic coming into us and they could not stop. A man finally stopped and then a car almost hit him because he was not paying attention and going to fast. We went home and stayed home.
Needless to say were tired of snow now. The snow has been on ground almost everyday since before Christmas. Ok, going to move on about something else now.
I am having my 1st give away!! I will run a contest from 1/26/09 to 2/02/09. I am giving away 50 coupons. All you have to do to be entered into this drawing is... Subscribe to my site or post a message.

Happy Thursday
I hope you have a good day today !! I see we have people from different areas of the world showing up here. Nice to see you and Welcome ! Leave us a message here sometime. :0)
Here's a goodie for you today from Bath & Body Works.
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Wed.
I hope your having a good day today! I'm having a hectic day today. Cleaning and cleaning. I have so much clutter in my house that it's keeping me awake at night thinking about it. I have my Kitchen all clean now. I will work on the living room area tonight.
I wanted to share a nice cause and freebie with you today. Free Pancake Day at IHOP, It's for a good cause. Ok, not really a Freebie but it's cheap and for a good cause. We did this last year. Service was a little slow but not bad.
About National Pancake Day - February 24, 2009
Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday.
Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly two million dollars to support charities in the communities in which it operates. With your help, we hope to raise $1,000,000 for Children’s Miracle Network in 2009!

Crazy Tuesday
Oh today is a crazy day. We overslept this am and had to rush everything this am but daughter still made it in time to school. So after she left i had only 30 min to get son and i ready before heading to Sams club.

Sad part is i was broke so i couldn't buy anything, LOL. All i bought was a Big Sunny D drink for $2.86 and our lunch for $4.86 for my son and i.

Fabulous Friday
It's Friday!! Yeah made it through another week. And Yeah ,my pipes are no longer frozen! It's still chilly here. Not as bad as it had been. If it weren't for the wind it would be ok. Right now it is 9 outside. Going to try to make a different batch of laundry soap today. I spent all day organizing my bathroom yesterday so i didn't get anything else done. I renamed today because it has turned fabulous, lol. I put a complaint in to out local Bakers store because i had a RX filled and they did not deduct the amount they should have and i waited for over 1 hours for my RX and there were only 3 other customers who had come and gone. I pick my battles when it comes time for putting a complaint in. I just felt this one was needed. So after talking to the manager today he said that they would refund the amount owed and he apologized. So i now have a $20 gift card waiting for me to pick it up. I will do so today. Also, the manager was really nice, however i told him i will not transfer any more rx's there. I will only buy my groceries there. So complaining to companies when needed does get you somewhere. Just remember to follow up w/ a compliment if they try to make your complaint fair or right. I sometimes compliment companies if i have received good service, food, etc. I once received a coupon for a free jar of pickles any size valued to $5.99 Well the largest jar at Walmart was $4.99. So i was happy.
Here's a few goodies to get your weekend off right.
Sign up at Fazolis and get a free Spaghetti. The coupon reads free spaghetti when you buy a spaghetti. http://www.freespaghetti.com/
Free Quaker Delights Sample http://www.quakertruedelights.com/
(note it is not working yet as of 9:37am CST.
Oh Check out your Target if your looking for Areosmith Guitar Hero. There have been claims that Target has the bundle of it for $20

Chilly Thursday
Today is really cold here. It was -15 this am. Now it is -9. I really think school should have been canceled. That not my daughter has far to go, but think of all those poor kids having to stand out in that cold to catch a bus. Some kids show up to school between 7:35-8:00am and School will not let kids in until 8:45am. No safety patrol out today either since it is so cold.
I have no water in my bathroom, only cold in my kitchen. I sure hope my pipes will be ok. I really would also like to take my shower today.
I made my laundry soap yesterday. It didn't turn out like i was hoping for. I think because i stirred it before i should have. So i will try it again w/ a different recipe. I also did not get my bread made, lol but made Hello Dolly bars yum.
So that is what is going on in my life today. Here's hoping where you are you will stay nice and warm.

Hmm, more thinking technically i should only be spending $62.50 a week in order to make the budget work. If i were to go by that then i would be over budget by $9.77 this week, and i still have to buy a package of hamburger meat. So i would be over budget by $16.59- Oh how dissapointing, i think this budget thing may be harder for me than i realize. Especially since i live in LOND.
