LOL!! I have a feeling that's going to happen to my chair sometime soon! I needed a chair without arms, because of where my desk is located I have to be able to push the chair under it when I'm not using it. The only chair with that design was rated for someone who weighs less than I do.

So far it's holding up okay, but one of these days... :rip_1:

Almost 2 weeks ago I went looking for a large plastic envelope containing nearly 50 A5 sized sheets of double-sided sticky. I had used a few sheets just a few days before.  I spent a few days looking for it. I looked in the usual places and even in the unusual places. I couldn't find it so I ordered another 50 sheets which arrived last Thursday.

On Friday I started a search for my set of chopped-off fingers to get my hat band ready for this coming week. Even though I'd set them out early last week I couldn't find them.As I looked for the fingers I found the envelope of sticky sheets.  Late on Saturday as I was putting some hardware away I found the fingers

Then I went to put the new stock of 50 sticky sheets in with the old stock - but now I can't find them!

Hat is ready though;

I had a water bottle on the leather bench and a bottle of rubbing alcohol, both open on a hot day last summer. Drank from the alcohol bottle by mistake. Caught myself before I swallowed and spit it out.

....finally  finishing a long term project with red (3mm) lace....you run out just in the final 3-4 inches of the project, ordering more takes 2 weeks.  . So, I had some  red 4.7mm, I got the ' thumb strander' out( under protest....I don't like them)  and  managed to cut a length  of 4.7 down to 3mm....and finish the project. 

Pics later.

Ain't that the truth!!  :yes:

I hadn't paid taxes for a couple of years, as I hate the complicated paperwork involved, and I figured with my income being so small now I'm retired, no one was going to care. I was finally persuaded by my cousin, who does this for a living, to file.

I had NO IDEA how many benefits I'd been missing out on! :o What a windfall!

So, it's been a real pleasure to loosen the purse strings a little. Went into the drugstore the other night, intending to buy some multivitamins for me and a birthday card for my brother. $125 later... :rolleyes:

I saw Patrick Stewart's autobiography on sale for 25% off and grabbed it. It was the hardcover edition, so still pretty pricey, even with the discount. I also bought a pretty calendar as a birthday gift for my bro. Then, was able to find my most favourite perfume soap - Yardley's Lavender, which can be difficult to find, as Yardley's is an old-fashioned brand. As I walked up to the checkout, I spotted some After Eight mints, a rare treat that can be hard to find, even around Christmas time. I grabbed 2 boxes, one for me, and one for a hostess gift for my sister-in-law, when I go to my bro's BD celebration later today! 

YIKES!! Doesn't take much to add up to a whomping big bill!  :o 

I just found something really nice about my purchase. Shopper's Drug Mart takes part in the PC Optimum points card (President's Choice, which covers a number of grocery stores in Canada.) I'd been trying for months to get my points up to the $40 mark. Welp, they had a special offer this week where if you spent $90 or more at either SDM or one of the PC grocery scores, you'd get 20x the points. 

I now have $70 to spend on my PC card!! :o  :yeah::yeah: 
Will have to buy myself something special!
