Tell Us About Your Day

If it's any help. We have laminated floors, so if we want to move furniture, we put a towel under the legs, and slide it along, rather than lifting it. So much easier. Our dog's fleece blanket is so handy for this job too. She always wags her tail when she sees us doing it lol

Have we seen your new car? What did you get?

This Is another thing I find strange here. Wherever I have lived you needed to get your vehicle inspected and it had to pass before you could drive it on the roads. here in Florida they don't inspect them at all. 

I had forgotten.

Good tip! I'll have to keep that in mind when we put it back in place after an eventual remodel. I was thinking about gluing felt to the bottom. Unfortunately, it has been sitting on a thick, densely piled, carpet with thick padding underneath. So, the desk made quite an impression over time.

To add insult to injury, hubby slid the carpet gliders under the desk upside down (while I lifted each side). So, when we were trying to move it, the side of the gliders that was supposed to be in contact with the bottom of the desk was gripping the carpet!        After many minutes of huffing and puffing, trying to slide it back, I had to lift the sides again so that he could flip the sliders over. I was not a happy camper!   

Indeed. We have all laminate downstairs. Upstairs we have carpet. Hoovering takes half the time downstairs, and a quick run over with the mop, and the place looks shining and clean.

Our last house had a really expensive kitchen carpet. After a very thorough hoovering, it looked adequate.

Its a Toyota Rav 4 hybrid.

Good luck Candy.

I filed my tax return online today. Whew, done for another year! My deductions aren't needed yet again, but if they carry forward enough years, it's gonna be a sweet refund when I'm actually employed again. Until then, my taxable income comes from the province so that I can be home to teach my guys and manage their special needs treatment. And this tax return will help determine the amount of government benefits we get to ensure there's enough money to raise the kids. So, a good day's work for me!

I've also been doing a bunch of research on glycemic load and which foods have the least. Probably need to get a diabetic cookbook or borrow from the public library until I get familiar with any tricks I don't already know. I did get an app that will help a bit, but there are gaps in the food database it uses. And... I've confirmed through Facebook messaging that our city's food bank is pretty much useless on this score - people don't donate the healthiest food. I was hoping maybe they had a gift card program for diabetics and hypoglycemics. Maybe I can get the doctor working on that when I see him next? It helps that he's not originally from here, so he might be able to push for better services like he's seen in other cities!

I have been self employed since 2008, and I still find sending off my taxes stressful. I got a £100 fine this year. *****

I've drunk my caffetterie coffee. I shall shower very soon. I am also browsing the Internet.

It is a lovely sunny Sunday: a little cold but still sunny.

I hope you all enjoy your Sunday!

This is a very good idea! By editing down your items that spark special memories you're keeping hold of items that spark those special memories. It is much better to have one plastic bin of items that mean the world to you, than have 5 boxes of stuff you barely know the contents of.

There are so many memories and mementoes that I have lost through moving 4 times. No longer having those items, I only have my memories. But what wonderful memories they are.

Anyhow, don't let those items get lost Iike I did: keep your nostalgia.

You're right to prepare for your cruise now. That way, anything you're missing you can buy online or go into a clothes shop. Definitely sort it sooner rather than later.

Back to me: I have had my daily shower and put on a load of laundry. I shall be going out shortly, too.

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

Ooooohhh.   Easter eggs...
