But, my phone had started just randomly turning itself off. I though maybe cleaning it would help so hubby took the battery and SIM card out and used a can of compressed air to blow it out. It has not turned itself off since! I was afraid I would have to go back under contract or buy a phone out of pocket but the problem seemed to be solved.momma-lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975411711120382015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-46432286753954189062014-03-03T06:15:29.318-07:002014-03-03T06:15:29.318-07:00Hmmm...I have a terrible time coming up with a lis...Hmmm...I have a terrible time coming up with a list!<br /><br />We had friends over for lunch instead of going out. I am sure I fed all 4 of us for less than we would have paid for the two if us. Another day friends came by for green tea and muffins. Again no restaurant tab. <br /><br />I canned great northern beans for the first time. Eight pints cost $2.29. <br /><br />We bought 2 Living Social certificates for a favorite little diner. It will save us about 50% on each visit.<br /><br />We continue to keep our heat set rather low and use throws and sweaters when we are chilly. I am hopeful that the bill will be much lower. <br /><br />We ordered a 16 x 20 photo for only the cost of shipping with a promo code. I have a frame that will fit when it arrives. <br /><br />We finished the master bedroom/bath redo over the weekend. It cost way more money and time than I thought it would but the main thing is that we saw it all the way through and it should be fine the way it is now for many years. Now I will be on the lookout for a fabric that I like to freshen up the guest bath with new shower and window curtains.<br /><br />I was able to purchase Smart Balance milk for a very good deal and have enough to last for 6 weeks or so. I have not done a lot of grocery shopping last week as the deals are not as great. That is okay as we do not need anything. I cooked from scratch and used some freezer meals so meals were frugal all week. We ate out less as hubby is feeling quite a bit better and working more hours.<br /><br />I was able to scrape together and extra thousand dollars to send in our mortgage payment. We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Pay off is near!<br /><br />The cat bed is great! We have hawks in our woods. It is neat to see such a beautiful, up close picture of one. Have a good week!<br />momma-lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975411711120382015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-46676371112104930182014-03-02T15:53:39.048-07:002014-03-02T15:53:39.048-07:00Thank you all for your kind words!
