Online Banking

March 30, 2009


Online banking is a quick and easy way for me to pay my bills. I can keep track of my expenses with just the click of a button. Yesterday I noticed that a transaction that I se tup last Thursday did not post. I know I remember making a bank to bank transfer, but I forgot to write down the reference number. I checked upcoming transactions, but it was not listed. I know I was doing something else at the same time, so it is possible that I did not confirm the transaction. I set up another transfer and made note of the reference number.

I decided to call the bank…big mistake. It took fifteen minutes for me to speak to someone. He said that he could not help me and that the reference number was useless. I just checked my account and both transfers went through. I am not happy. When I was on the phone with the bank, I checked upcoming transactions and neither payment was listed. I will have to be more careful in the future. Tomorrow I will go shopping and spend the money that was overpaid on the account. I have to get something out of this mess.

Please Step Away From My Bag

March 27, 2009


I may be a bit obsessed with my Coach Op Art Sabrina handbag. This has to be one of my favourite bags. I don’t like people to get too close. Anyone that gets too close is likely to get a dirty look from me. I pull my bag close when I am on the bus or subway. Today someone sat next to me with a coffee cup in her hand. I was trying to sleep, but my only thought was that if the coffee were to spill I would lose it.

I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winners Spring Event

March 22, 2009


I do most of my shopping at the store Winners. There are times when I do not have the time or patience to go to the mall to wander from store to store. What I love about Winners is that it is one stop shopping. You can find footwear, accessories, clothing, bed and bath products, home decor and so much more in one spot. Of course my first stop is the incredible handbag section. However, not each store is the same. Some locations will have better items, so you have to shop around. In my opinion the best location is at College Park in downtown Toronto. Some people say that they do not like hunting for stuff. It is worth it because you find great items at amazing prices.

When I have time and I go to Winners on a Saturday afternoon I can do a bit of damage to my bank account. There is a Winners near my office, so I will wander in on my lunch. Most of the women in the area have the same idea. Now that the weather is getting better, it will be a zoo.

Kodak Gallery Ideas

March 15, 2009


Don’t know what to do with your favourite prints. Instead of putting your pictures in photo albums that you may only look at once a year, you can create photo books, calendars, cards, mugs and so much more.

At the Kodak Gallery website you can create a tote bag with an image on it. Just to show you how it would look, I used one of my own pictures for demonstration purposes (Louis Vuitton store in Paris). I have not created a tote bag yet.

Create the tote bag in 2 easy steps

1. Pick 1 photo (select from album or upload a new one)

2. Preview and purchase
