CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

Everyone is doing good! The crystal bowl, I agree, use it for whatever makes you happy. Do you like it as a fruit bowl? Or maybe near the front door for sunglasses? Or if you don't like it give it to someone you know would love it and don't feel guilty. I started slowly boxing up stuff thinking I would have a yard sale. I had piles of boxes here and there. I wasnt feeling better, just more stress. Then like KungFuPanda decided the few dollars I would make having a hard sale wasnt worth the time & effort. I loaded all the boxes in the truck and took to goodwill. Man did I feel better. Yeah I had that moment of "I really needed that money" but my sanity needed it gone. Since then I have taken school stuff & clothes to hs group functions and given stuff away. Felt good knowing people were using the stuff I had taking up space. Haven't done much over Christmas but ready to get back to getting rid of stuff.

PSA: if you take a dish, don't rely on neighbors to return it...

If using plastic serving utensils you can write your name on the handle with a sharpie. -

Baseball mom replied to TheReader's topic in The Chat Board
The only one that I don't worry about getting the dish back from is my mom. She will send back anything thing give her food in unless I say "toss it when you are done" (aluminum pans). My MIL gets it, guaranteed I won't see it again. SIL will get it back to me IF one of her grown kids don't take off with it 1st. -
Can you tell me how you use the pumpkin in these dishes? Does it taste different? I have a ton of pumpkin in the freezer and I have reflux so interesting.

WOW that is high. Around here I can sit anything on the curb and whatever "junkers" don't pick up the city will come pick up for free. And because I live in the city, if I have take a load to the dump it is free. Free being relative, I pay both city and county taxes (so higher taxes). Also if my can is full I can leave can open and sit bag on top or can sit bags next to can and they pick it up (normally, sometimes I get a different driver that won't get out and put it in the empty can after dumping and dump again)

Is there a secret to staying logged in?

I thought it was something I am doing wrong. I see it isn't only me -
Welcome AmandaVT 🙂 Taxes make me stressed. And last year our refund dropped a lot. Worried this year. Small savings today. Instead of buying each of us a bottle of vitamins I bought 1 bottle of complete for us to share. Free supper tonight. Ate with a family member yesterday and they sent home enough for us to have supper tonight.

Definitely need to get back on track with spending or rather NOT spending. A few birthdays this month, niece, nephew and close family friend (child). Hopefully I can find something nice for each on clearance. Also will try to eat out of the freezer as much as possible.

Man this month I fell off the frugal wagon and got run over by it. Gotta get back on that wagon. My mom gave me money for Christmas. She wants me to buy something I want/need that I normally wouldn't buy and not just use it for bills and groceries

I was doing a pretty good in November cleaning out. Took a truck load to goodwill and gave a bunch of hs material away. I wanted to have a yard sale but it didn't work out and I needed the stuff out of my house. After getting rid of that stuff I felt some better and started going through more. Was on a good roll but came to stop getting ready for Christmas. Now I am ready to get back to cleaning out again. Hope to be back with success stories.

Have been reading but not posting. My brain is like "SQUIRREL" I read and while reading it triggers a thought of something I need to look up, add to a list or go do. And there goes my brain. I am trying to be frugal as possible. It would help if I would remember to use ebates. I usually remember sometime AFTER I have ordered. Not good.

Could get an sd card & set all pics & videos to be saved to it. Save phone space and save pics if phone crashes or get a new phone

We are one of those with yards with several inflatables 😜 Santa, minion, snoopy, penguin etc. And some lights around the yard. I love it and I think at least a few in the neighborhood like it.

The It's December Tomorrow! Teachers Lounge 11-30-2018
Baseball mom replied to scrapbookbuzz's topic in The Chat Board
Hope you get the interview Scrap Tree has been up here 2 weeks. Was the best day to put it up as it takes forever to put up. Big tree, old tree, individual branches to be shaped & then all the lights. Yep takes a while. I like the slowing down idea very much. Every Christmas I say "next year I am going to be better prepared, the house cleaned & gifts bought early" Never happens. Then I stress and nearly kill myself trying to get everything done. This year is no different. The house is not clean, presents are not bought. But this year I am going to give myself permission to let things slide and enjoy the season. (ok I am still stressing about buying gifts $$ but the rest can slide) -
sorry about all the things wrong. I totally get it. I have a long list like that too. I don't know how much books are at Costco but snapfish has been running deals.
