And the winner is

And the winner is Yes, I just won a contest give-away at the mind of a mom. So I got inspired and entered a supermarket survey. Those questions just went on and on. I also said 'no' to a couple of telemarketers today.

It's windy and cold today, not one to be out raking leaves. The kids are off school today, it's nice to have everyone at home catching up on stuff. My mom, sister and her family came over last night to have a look at the new basement. So did L's friend and her parents. We've had 3 'showings' so far. M seems to delight in telling the stories of what went wrong with the basement and no one can seem to see any problem. In fact, everyone loves it. Some people tell of real horror stories where the costs blew up and the work was left unfinished.

CONGRATULATIONS on winning the prize - well deserved. Yes I think its worthwhile entering contests and things when you see them. Someone has to win them after all. I won a great big box of lip glosses not so long ago. Sold a few on ebaby and gave the rest to my daughter but it was kind of nice winning something. I do try and enter things when they pop up in my face - your luck might be with you so enter a few more....

Congrats !
Yes, it's very cold and windy here today. Just the afternoon for a bit of blogging,a bit of spinning and maybe a bit of dozing-perhaps I'd better go and make a cup of tea before that happens !
Are you going to charge for a tour of your basement ? You could recoup some of your expenditure.

Lilly have you tried Craigslist, they don't charge any fees unlike ebay. I sold a swing set using them this year.

Mom, FedEx is fast.

Jpra, who doesn't love to win anything!

Barbara you always make me laugh. I'd sure love to recoup some costs.
