Oopps!

 I almost missed posting. I had thought about it earlier, transferred some phone photos to my google account so I could upload them and after talking to my son tonight I shut down my computer so I could go to bed. I then remembered that I had forgotten to write my post. 

I went for my walk this morning. It was still cold but a little warmer than it has been - almost freezing lol. After the walk I ran some errands. I did end up going to the dollar store. I wanted to pick up some wrapping paper, tape and a few cleaning supplies that I was running low on. I ended up buying a bunch of snacks for stockings and spent more than I had thought! Still, the prices are better than other places. At least for now! I hear that the dollar store will no longer be selling things for a dollar. 😲 How crazy is that? There starting price will be 1.25. Maybe they will be changing their name to 'Nothing for a dollar' store. It doesn't sound like a lot but that is a twenty-five percent increase!! When you think of it like that it is a lot. I would like to see them keep some items for a dollar and have other items that are a little more. 

MIL and I have decided to take tomorrow off Jane's. Neither one of us got done the things we wanted to get done today. I think it will give us both a chance to catch up a little. I don't have any errands to run tomorrow so after my walk I can come home and get started on some things on my list!

A couple of Christmas-y photos today. My Christmas mug - I think I got this at the dollar store last year!


And a pretty bad lighting photo of a card I made today. I have to do better at my photos here. I am tending to post a lot that I take on my phone. I really need to take the time to take a better photo. Sigh.

  1. Cute mug and cute card, too. All my photos are cell phone photos! :)
    I haven't been to our dollar stores, here, but, even before the pandemic, quite a few items they were selling were priced more than a $1!

    1. Thanks! I rushed on the photos. I shall try to do better. I heard the dollar stores had already raised their prices above a dollar. I think it depends on where you live.

  2. I've noticed that my recent comments haven't appeared on your posts but want you to know that I have posted some. I think blogger is playing up just lately as you aren't the only place I've posted comments that haven't appeared... Love that little festive mug. It's a nice reminder of the season. x

    1. Oh no! I hate it when blogger glitches - see how frustrated I was when I couldn't post photos! I thought the mug was worth getting out.

  3. Over here Poundland has become "Poundland, but some things cost more to trick you at the till!"

    1. I remember that. I had to keep checking the price on the shelf as some things were more

    1. Yikes! I hope a lot of it is cleared away before next weekend. We are hoping to go to daughter's for a long weekend over her birthday (19th). Stay safe and warm! That sounds like an ultra busy day for a day off!

  5. I love the snowman mug, and thank you for reminding me to get my Christmas mugs out and start using them.

    You did well at Jane's house yesterday so I think you've earned a day off. Good luck in catching up with your own Christmas preparation. xx

  6. Our £1 shops no longer exist. Poundstretchers has lots of different prices and the same with poundland although there are quite a lot of £1 items. Some of them have reduced in size though.

    1. I think that changing size is used just to trick us lol. I think I'll see and compare. I might still go the dollar store but maybe not quite as often.
