Chat The Day Away!

[Ljaned]

What a great day today! The weather is good. My kids are being entertained by my parents. Life can't be better. Oh yeah I got a VIP coupon in the mail for $50 for iris NEW SUNGLASSES!

WHOO HOO I got my tea sample in the mail today!!! Tango from Busch Tea.

It is very yummmy. Totally recommend signing up for the free sample if you like tea.

You can make it in a drip coffee maker!

I hope you guys are having a great day too.

Wendy post your carmel recipes in the recipe section I would love to make it!

[WendyLady36]

[Ljaned]

Thanks Wendy for the recipe! Sure glad you are enjoying the outdoor weather!

Morning Everyone! Sorry I haven't been around in a few days, life's just been hectic and we were busy all weekend getting the upstairs all cleaned out. Alot of toys and things that are no more good are out for trash this week, lots of garbage to go out! I realize now that I should have done that for our spring cleanup week, then it wouldn't look so bad LOL.

Well, the girls didn't win in that contest I had entered them, however, they each got $20 off a photo session, so I talked it over with 5littlemonkeys and we booked one of the big packages. Since I have 3 girls all going at once, that's $60 off a big package, so I'm gonna spend $75 on a big package, and get 40 pics. Gonna get some of them seperate, together, and I want to get one of just me with each, and one of me with all of them. Be a 'girls only' photoshoot Doing that on the 19th

Hope all is well with everyone! Again, sorry for not being around, but life keeps throwing curves my way so I'm not on much, even Facebook I"m not on that much

Good morning everyone!


Today I got up so early I even surprised myself. I've been up since 7:30am. xD
Pretty good considering I usually get up around 12pm and later.

Just heading off to the doctor's right now as I think that it is finally time to get my back checked out. Its been killing me so much lately and my Mom vacation for two weeks off so I though I might as well take advantage since we both are never off at the same time.

I sure hope he'll be able to give me medication that actually works to ease the pain and will find a reason that is causing the pain. I hope he won't tell me that its only hurting because of my weight. I'm going to be so embarrassed and can just hear the 'I told you so's'! x(

*Hugs*
Take care and have a wonderful day everyone.
I will pop by later and speak to you soon! I miss you all and again I apologize for missing in action. Just been crazy busy with real life. ^__^

Hi everyone

Keeper I hope your back pain finds a cause and you can find relief, I dislike doctors and get nervous so much so that I almost wasn't able to get a treatment I needed early this year because my white coat syndrome made my blood pressure spike so much that they didn't want to do it. I was able to calm myself down enough to get it done

It's a rainy day today and a bit dreary but I'm making progress in the moving house, we are at 22 days! I also found out yesterday that I'm a potential winner of $100 from the Marilyn Denis show but I only have until tomorrow to get in the forms, they wanted id that has my pic and address on it but I only have a health card and they don't have addresses on them anymore so I emailed asking if I could scan my health card and a gov issued mail and they said yes. I hope I can get everything in on time.

[Ljaned]

BloomingRose: Sorry to hear you didn't win the contest but the deal you got isn't that bad.

Keeper: Sorry to hear that you are in pain take it easy.

Chicky82: Yeah!! for your win!!

The kids were worn out already today at 10:30 AM lots of outdoor play in hot weather. Crayola colour bubbles will be not purchased again to anxious that it would stain my wood decks and fence. Kids and clothes no problem. I just found it too stressful!

Hope everyone has a greatt day.

[WendyLady36]

Afternoon ladies!

great few days here so far. Lots going on inside and out. Today i'm gonna try doing a bit of mowing the yard and see how that goes. I got my sample source box in the mail today - was sure it didn't work cause i kept getting errors but yay it did! I got dishwasher tabs/tanning lotion and a razor that are going into stocking stuff for my daughter, a new toothbrush which i desperately needed, coupon for free scrubbing bubbles, john freda shampoo and conditioner and a granola bar which my son and i shared and liked. I love looking in my stash for Christmas and seeing a nice pile started so early. Just gonna keep trucking along with my swagbucks/gift hulk and try the super points soon and get more banked. I use to have everything bought by July but the last few years its been too much of a struggle. Feels really good to be almost there by May!

Hope you all are having a good day as well!

[atsirk]

Ljaned: Thanks for the tea sample

BloomingRose: That will be lovely having the girls pictures done. They sure are little models!

Keeper: I hope the doctor finds a way to help you with your pain... I'm sure it would be a relief knowing what the cause of it is. Best of luck <3

Chicky82: Wow congrats! Hope you get the forms there in time!!

Wendy: I also got the sample source, what a great load of freebies, eh? Can't wait to try the stuff out! Especially excited to try the tanning lotion once it gets warm enough to wear shorts.

[jessb]

just wanted to say HIII im super new to the forums

[Ljaned]

Hey Jessb Welcome this is a really great site hopefully you will get a lot out of it. Don't hesitate to ask questions!

Your welcome regarding the tea atsirk!

Glad you are doing so well on your Christmas stock pile!

[momof3boys]

Wow wendylady I cannot believe how organized you are. I would love to get the christmas shopping done so early. Do you buy for kids? My kids tend to change their minds so much it is hard to buy for them so early, how do you get around that?

[WendyLady36]

Morning Ladies

Keeper - hope all went well at the dr. for you.

momof3boys - i tend to buy things i think they will like or something they have on their wishlist.

Chicky - good luck and congrats on the win!

My big plans for the day are laundry and more mowing. Did 2 hrs yesterday and got the front done finally - i just loath doing the back tho cause its uneven ground and i have to put a lot of umph into it.

[Keeper]

Hello everyone!


Hope you're all having a great day. Its raining and quite gloomy outside today. Just a blah kind of day.

I don't think I'll be on much today. I just fell down the stairs. I'm not hurt, just a bit sore I was coming down the stairs and next thing you know my foot slipped and I fell down about 5 steps. Just took a pain killer right now and think I'm going to take a nap.

[chicky82]

Ouch Keeper, I know how that feels, I tend to fall up stairs. Have a good nap

It's rainy here, it seems like we are getting our April showers now. It looks like I won't be getting the prize I won from the Marilyn Denis show as I didn't put down the address I entered with.
We are moving in less than a month so I had been putting a different address when I entered contests because I knew that if I won, I wouldn't be at my current address anymore but I guess I by accident put the address we at moving from down, so when I sent the papers in, they have the new address and not the one I entered with Everything had to be in by today and I've emailed them but no response back.

[aly3360]

It's been raining here too the past few days. Really light showers though so it's not too bad.

I won a $50 visa card at a twitter party tonight, which was pretty exciting

chicky82: Oh no, that really sucks! Maybe you could just re fill out the papers and send it all in again? That way if they decide to be nice and let you have it you'll have made the deadline still?

If they don't let you then that's just silly. People move all the time. If you were already at your new place you would have had to give them a different address to ship it to than what you entered with anyhow.

Hope everything works out somehow.

Keeper: That sounds not so fun lol. Can't be good on your back even if it was only a couple stairs. Hope you feel better after the nap!

[Ljaned]

The weather here is sunny for now. Snow was mentioned in the news lastnight We have been up since 6am wow you can get a lot more done getting up really early. I finished the laundry and Mother's Day Emails using smilebox which is awesome.

WHOOHOO Aly3360 Nice score! Did you mention in the chat contest that you enter into over 200 blog contests? How do you find them? Do you use a different website? I have entered all posted here.

I hope everyone has a winning day! I am hoping for a kindle!

[Keeper]

Hi everyone!


Just popping in for a bit to see how you are all doing. ^^
I sure hope you all have a wonderful day and that the weather is being kind to you. n_n

Thank you everyone for your kindness and concern. I greatly appreciate it very much.
I am doing well, just resting. My back actually is starting to feel better with the pain killers however my left leg is really sore after my fall yesterday. I did feel a lot better after my nap yesterday. Just taking it easy and trying to slowly put pressure onto my foot. Thankfully my ankle is not swollen, just a bit bruised as well but ice has been helping it.

Congratulations on your win Aly!
I sure hope that you all are winners and that May will bring luck to you all. (:

I haven`t even been able to enter my contests for about 4-5 days now and I feel so guilty. =p I have been limiting my time on the computer since its really hard on my back to sit or lie in front of my computer for numerous hours.

However, I was reading the flyers and ipod touches are currently on sale at Best Buy I believe. I`m thinking of getting one. My parents said they`ll purchase it for me as my birthday gift since its a milestone birthday. Can`t really complain to be honest although I have no idea how many GB to get? I think 8gb will be enough because all I'll be doing is storing pictures and music pretty much but I've heard if you jail break it, you'll need more space. I guess I have some more researching to do. x)

ALSO before I leave, I just won a 'Fountain of Youth Code' for Gift Hulk and I can share the code with up to 5 friends I believe so if you have gift hulk or would like to sign up, the link is in my signature.

The code is: spedu4q34
And you will be awarded Gift Hulk coins which you can later use to redeem prizes from the prize shop.

Take care and have a good one everyone!

There's a twitter party starting in about 20 minutes (8:30 EST) if anyone is interested. not sure where the appropriate place to post about it would be so here will have to do for tonight. ALso I figured anyone who was on would probably be lurking here.

The RSVP link is here: http://www.simplystacie.net/2012/05/...0th-shopdotca/

http://tweetchat.com/ and http://www.tweetgrid.com/ are two good sites to use when trying to follow along in a twitter party.

Keeper: Thanks for the Fountain of Youth code!

Ljaned: I'm subscribed to a few blogs so I get their updates in my email whenever they post giveaways and I head over and enter. I also look for blog hops (which are just giant giveaway linkies with multiple blogs holding themed giveaways). I go through the blogs in a blog hop and then enter whatever giveaways they have in their giveaway section that are open to canada.

Here's a blog hop that's running right now:

http://www.simplystacie.net/2012/05/...com-gc-us-can/

Under her giveaway is a big list of other blogs holding giveaways. not all of them will be open to Canada though. It takes a bit of time to check and see what you can and cannot enter, but I usually don't mind.

This is a blog I've won a few giveaways on:
http://sweeps4bloggers.com/category/giveaways-canada/

I'll try to be better with putting blog contests links in the contest section. Maybe i'll do some tonight or tomorrow.

[Ljaned]

Thanks for all The information Aly3360. I think I am going to be soon caught up with the times!
