To all Canadians who get today off: Happy Family Day! I finally slept in today and enjoyed those extra zzzz's but I know I'll pay for it tomorrow. Today it's cold outside (-9C/15.8F) but it's sunny. I'll probably bundle up later and go for a walk. Then I'll do my weekly cooking (too tired...

Woke up with a sore throat and extreme fatigue. Stayed home from work today. Finished the laundry and cut coupons. Sat and drank tea by the fire. Not very productive today.

Well, I'm home sick, but feeling better than I did yesterday. Got absolutely nothing done this weekend, but at least I was frugal! Today, since I'm feeling a little better, I'm just doing some easy stuff around the house - light organizing/cleaning.

Off to a good start today - after blowing off my to-do list this weekend, last night I emptied the dishwasher and this morning I took out the recycling and changed the bunny litter. Made me feel like I got a jump start to house work before I left for work. Didn't make a lunch today - spent $7 on...

Half the family has the day off so we are playing catch up with housework. The littlest GS has a cold but his dad is taking care of him. Today I need to take DD out to begin looking for new glasses. Debating if DS will get a haircut today. The weather will be chilly all week but he is starting...

Happy first Miserly Monday of the year everyone! Today I am doing laundry and cleaning the house. I do have to run to the grocery store and pick up a box of Washing Soda so I can finish making my laundry soap. But that should be the only money I spend, aside from paying the electric bill and...

All meals will be at home today, shouldn't have any reason at all to spend money, and hoping to have a quiet evening at home after work. Just gotta make it to 6 pm! May run a load of darks and enjoy some free holiday music online or watch a little TV in my free time.

Overcast yet warm day for fall here! Kinda nice if you ask me - its not snowing nor is it cold with arctic chill in the air :laugh: Was supposed to go over to my sisters today to help her shuffle things but got the cancel just as I was leaving. All of a sudden her DH has the day off - um...he...

Happy Monday!! What a weekend we had! The kids were off from school this past Thursday thru Sunday for teachers' conventions, so I took them to Yellowstone Park. We had a great time,but I didn't sleep at all. I'm getting old, I like my own bed! So needless to say, I fell asleep and stayed...
