Financial Update
Updated all my bars and stuff again. Things are looking better, but just barely. Everything went up a couple of points, but it really only equates to a few hundred extra. What a bummer. I can tell that the banks changed their interest rates without having to look them up. I can tell because the…

Retail Therapy
I’m still a little upset about yesterday’s issue with my roommate, but I’m hoping that she’ll pay me back quite soon. I didn’t exactly confront her about it, but managed to bring it up twice in conversation last night. I think she gets the picture; plus I sent her a txt with the exact amount…

Twitter-er
Hey Y’all, I just joined Twitter! I guess I’m not an early adopter in this instance. All the cool kids were doing it, so I figured I would, too! Now I just need to figure out how to work it into my life. Any suggestions? Do people just keep the homepage open to see their…

grrrr
OMG I am SO MAD at my roommate. She gave me a cheque to cover internet and the stupid thing bounced and I was charged for it! She’s bounced cheques twice before with our landlady and this really bothers me, I’m worried that she won’t be able to afford rent or anything else pretty soon.…

Today Is Not The Greatest

Frugal Tip: Repair and Maintain
With the US recession monster casting a shadow even on the Canadian economy, I think it’s even more important than normal to find ways to prolong the use of things that you already have. What do I mean by this? Repairing and maintaining things instead of running out and buying something cheap and new! We…

ChickAdvisor Shopaholic Event
I’m a member of the Toronto edition of ChickAdvisor.com; which is a really great review site for my area (and now across North America, too!). I love going there to scope out reviews on restaraunts, spas, salons, products, you name it! I also contribute by writing some reviews of my own. (Check it out! My…

Don’t leave me alone…
I’m home alone, cold and tired on a Friday night. This is not a good combination and I’ll tell you why. I just caught myself singing a song about the hamsteak I was about to eat for dinner. It went something like: “Hamsteak! The food of the future! Yeahhhhhh The kids are gonna love it,…

President’s Choice MasterCard?
Hey folks, I’ve become a little unhappy with my current BMO Mosaik MasterCard lately. Right now I have the freebie option where I get 0.5% of my spending in cash back. The only problem is that I’m spending loads on this card, but only got around $30 back for 2008. I’ve been shopping around for…
