Then the winds picked up! I shovelled yesterday but will likely to do so again today because it's supposed to drop to -28C tonight. I don't want to be shovelling when the daytime highs only reach -20C.<br />I need to do a sort out of my entire house...hopefully I'll get that started in the next few weeks.Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154726786605636459.post-50914727038385753492023-01-27T08:58:18.951-06:002023-01-27T08:58:18.951-06:00We had some snow again yesterday which put a dampe...We had some snow again yesterday which put a damper on our planned 'Christmas' get-together with our son and his family. Now we have to wait for him to wrangle another day off (he's a chef and days off are very rare). <br />Apartment life means we don't have too many bills to pay but those that we do are on automatic debit (with the exception of the credit cards) so we don't have to worry about them. I call the bank once a month and pay the cc's - one of the results of the covid thing is that the credit union now appreciates telephone banking rather than in-person. Works for me!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154726786605636459.post-59222688419768301352023-01-26T18:57:54.212-06:002023-01-26T18:57:54.212-06:00Oh my goodness.

Was it how you were raised or did something significant happen along the way? <br /><br /><br /><br />Debby https://www.blogger.com/profile/02574297621214864538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154726786605636459.post-88945871094056513742023-01-26T17:38:58.710-06:002023-01-26T17:38:58.710-06:00Sounds like a good week for you, Jackie.

I checked out the online ads too, not a lot of loss leaders right now, but I’m hopeful that will change soon. 😊 Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154726786605636459.post-46868338455307615032023-01-26T16:07:00.167-06:002023-01-26T16:07:00.167-06:00I admire your tenacity on the frugal living front ...I admire your tenacity on the frugal living front Jackie.
