My husband and the boys are having fish and chips tonight...a moment on the lips forever on the hips!


So, in an effort to save money (and to hopefully lose some weight before we go) I am forgoing the fried fish and chips and will look for a healthier alternative.

Let's hope my resolve holds out!!

Not like that!!!

I just got a rebate cheque in the mail that I forgot I even sent away for!!! BONUS $10 into the kitty!!

I did have an idea to get some extra dosh.


Sell my scrap gold!!

Unfortunately, I have always worn silver and don't have any scrap gold to sell, but I still think it would have been a good idea!

OK, I haven't really "saved" any money yet, but so far I have given my mom an additional $20 Canadian, and $100 American to hold on to.

My husband and I tend to use our debit cards a lot so I rarely have cash on me. So when I went to pick up some bread and milk yesterday with my mom I got $20 cashback and gave it to her. I figured most times that I pop into a store for one or two specific things I buy stuff I don't need, a magazine, a pack of gum, a toy for the kids. This time I stuck to my list, and instead of wasting a few bucks I thought I might as well take it out and set it aside. If I didn't take the money out, it wouldn't be saved, I would just spend it on something else, so for me this was the best way to "save" money yesterday.

Check out his website, this guy is very very talented and pretty funny!

A employee of a corn extract company goes to the FBI with evidence of price fixing but soon its hard to keep track of the truth as the employee goes about things in his own way.

Apparently based on a true story, The Informant, stars Matt Damon as Mark Whiteacre, the man with a very interesting imagination. Damon, the same actor who played Jason Bourne, looks middle aged, fat, and very convincing in a strange kind of way. Even his walk is different.  He is fun to watch but the most enjoyable part of the movie is the voice over. In the same way that Christian Bale‘s very strange comments in American Psycho made you laugh even as he was firing up the chainsaw, so Damon’s voice over makes you realise that Whiteacre isn’t on the same planet as everyone else.

A very enjoyable if strange movie. Rather slow and often kept afloat just by Damon’s acting and the voice over but a fun little movie anyway!
