I got $50 from my mom, and sold my old computer on Kijiji for $50.(it went out the door 2 hours after posting it!!)
So, $100 in hand, I went to Michaels and got another piece of storage furniture. It's the scrapbooking stuff that comes in module cubes. This one is a stand alone file cabinet size with three drawers and a space for magazines, and best of all it has a fold up leaf so the top becomes a table big enough for my cutting mat, or a small ironing board! It was on for half price.-- Score!
And - I cashed in my Canadian Tire Money (you get 2%on all cash purchases in CTC money) . We save it up all year and cash it in for our Boxing Day shopping spree. - I got a cordless drill - that I've been wanting for over a year! Double score!
