Three for free..........

Try saying that three times fast!!

On Friday I went out for my walk and didn't croak!!!   It was so humid though and this was around 6 am.  Anyhoo, I saw the paper lady delivering papers so stopped for a chat; luckily I was heading down the hill, as if I was going up the hill that would have been impossible for me to talk.  She ended up giving me a free newspaper; we only get a paper delivered on a Saturday now.

I had a coupon for free cereal, so picked that up and got free cookies when they came up the wrong price.  Now to win the lottery...............well someone has too!  Plus I like the sound of FREE MONEY!!

Oh and hands up if you are sick to death of this hot and humid weather?  I have both hands up.  I am so over Summer now; plus everyone is cranky due to the heat.

Going no where fast...........

Monday morning was like that for me.  Spent a bit of time on the phone sorting a few things out, including calling Lipton about a problem I am having with their Pyramid teas.  I have fallen in love with their Blackberry Vanilla Infusion tea.  However when I pull the string from the bag it can create a hole in the bag, which means the leaves escape into my cup.  So I called to see if I was doing something wrong.  Turns out I am not, and they are sending me a coupon to replace the box. ( I am not sure if you can see the hole in the bag in the photo?)

I adore this tea and may buy myself a tea ball next time I am out so if I tear the bag again I can put the tea inside of the ball.  The string is heat pressed onto the bag, so it's not glued on as I thought.

I called Pattons the yarn people the other week as a ball of yarn had a hole in it and they were saying they had a problem with that batch.  Anyhow here is what I received in the mail from them:

I am going to give them a call to say thank you for their generosity.  Wasn't that good of them to send two balls of yarn?  In the right of the photo you can see some coupons I got in the mail also including a $1 and a $2 Campbells coupon  which is handy.  I called about some soup of theirs that looked like dirty dishwater and didn't smell much better either.   They said it was a blending problem and kindly sent me the coupons, which was nice of them.

Cindy is hosting an Ontario Bloggers Day here.   If you blog and are in Ontario, go and sign up at the link, I think it's happening this Thursday (17th).  Its one way of promoting one another's blogs and we all get to "meet" new and wonderful people via blogland.

Woman's Show in Toronto.........

This will be our third time we have been. Never been on a Sunday before, we usually go on a Saturday......but we were busy on Saturday. This year only me , dd and our neighbour "R" went. Both dd and "R" have a lot more energy than me, so I generally stand in the long line ups and dd and "R" run around getting more freebies.

It cost us $11.50 to get in and $15 for parking. However this is what we got:




The freebies were not as good as prior years, but still well worth it. There was also so much food that we didn't have to buy anything to eat or drink. I did spend $8 to get a years subscription the Canadian Health and Lifestyle magazine you also get a bag full of freebies with the magazine, including a $5 gift card for Boston Pizza which was good. We also got a years subscription for Viva Magazine for free.

We got all sorts of other freebies as well. The best thing about the whole day was spending time with "R" and dd.

Free Magazine Subscription...
