More Late Fees for my Boss

By Mrs. Accountability on June 27th, 2009

So it happened to my boss again. Late fees for unpaid bills.

I recently signed her up at Amazon – and they offered her a $30 discount if she signed up for a card. She agreed to sign up for the card. About a week ago she came to me and asked if I could check somehow and see why she hadn’t gotten a bill for the Amazon credit card. I … click here to continue reading More Late Fees for my Boss

Thank You Notes and Dollar Stores

By Mrs. Accountability on June 25th, 2009

One of the things I’ve been striving to do is to send thank you notes to Mr. A’s customers. I try to watch for them on clearance at the store, and as long as they are blank inside I’ll buy just about any design. Well, within reason. I can’t buy anything too feminine looking for a man to send out as a thank you to customers.

I haven’t found … click here to continue reading Thank You Notes and Dollar Stores

Fels Naptha - Where To Buy It

By Mrs. Accountability on June 18th, 2009

When I made our batch of laundry soap, we just bought our Fels-Naptha from Walmart. My boss’ daughter told her about the recipe and my boss told her best friend, who wants to make up a batch for all six of her grown children. So she’s been on the hunt for Fels-Naptha. She can’t find it anywhere, so my boss asked me if I could pick up six bars for … click here to continue reading Fels Naptha – Where To Buy It

My “New” Bedding

By Mrs. Accountability on June 17th, 2009

The Accountability Family recently went to one of the small towns near where we live. Mr. A has a client that just bought a fixer-upper home for $40,000. I went along with my camera to take photos of the place.

We needed to kill a little bit of time, so we stopped at Savers just to have a look around. Their prices are high at this particular one, I prefer to … click here to continue reading My “New” Bedding

American Express Costco $25 Rebate

By Mrs. Accountability on June 16th, 2009

So back in September, I signed up for the TrueEarnings Card from Costco and American Express. I found the offer from Madison at My Dollar Plan. I was supposed to get a $25 statement credit soon after. On February 11th, I called to find out why I never got my $25 statement credit, and was told it takes up to 12 weeks to see this offer, and it should show … click here to continue reading American Express Costco $25 Rebate

Costco Travel Rents Automobiles and More

By Mrs. Accountability on June 15th, 2009

I just recently learned that Costco offers car rentals, and not only that but travel options, like vacation packages, hotels, cruises. Amazing.

Right now Costco is offering a 50% weekend rental rates. I will be doing a bit of traveling and I’ll need to drive. I’m a little bit concerned about my vehicle making the trip, plus unfortunately my air conditioning is working intermittently. So I am looking into the option … click here to continue reading Costco Travel Rents Automobiles and More

Nintendo Wii – Not Just for Kids

By Mrs. Accountability on June 14th, 2009

I’m always looking for ways to get more exercise because I tend to be very sedentary. That’s okay for young people, but I’m slowly learning that doesn’t work out so well as you grow older. When I started back in my garden in September, my back ached just walking out to the garden. It’s several hundred feet from my front door, and even longer from the back door. … click here to continue reading Nintendo Wii – Not Just for Kids

June 12 & 13 Garden Harvest

By Mrs. Accountability on June 13th, 2009

For most of my life I was a night owl. When I was a young child, I had a terrible time getting to sleep and it was even harder getting up to go to school. As a young adult I worked normal day time hours and it was hard getting up early for work. I usually stayed up late weekends and slept in late, which always made getting up on … click here to continue reading June 12 & 13 Garden Harvest

T-Mobile Made Me An Offer I Couldn’t Refuse

By Mrs. Accountability on June 12th, 2009

Well, it was time for my two year contract extension, and time to choose a new phone since the flip part had broken to the point where I was having to carefully cradle both parts in my hand in order to even talk on the thing.

I started out by doing some research at T-mobile.com to see what kinds of phones were available to me at a reasonable (hopefully free) price.
