Cleaners, Coke and Cash

I have tried many-a household cleanser in efforts to get a "cleaner clean" as it were. Strange, but it's sort of become an obsession. First it was with my mop, which has a scrub brush on it, so I can scrub the floors, then use the sponge to get at the water. But even better than that, is "Great Value All Purpose Cleanser" from Wally-World. This stuff could eat through lead, I am sure of it. I cleaned the bathroom yesterday, and the tub (which I was cleaning with Gel-Vim for months) took 2 minutes to clean. The cleanser started working right away and I didn't even have to wipe hard at it like you see them doing in the commercials. I lightly wiped at it, and sparkling. No joke. Sparkling. And the price? $1.99

I don't normally "pimp" products unless I fully believe in them. Pepsi, for one, I will tote til the day I die. I'll drink a Coke product (not Coca-cola or diet) like their Ice Tea or a Rootbeer but that's it. I don't like the way Coca-Cola tastes for one. I also love my insurance company, the Co-Operators. I get a great deal on my insurance payment (read: less than $80/month) for my age, plus the great service I always get when I'm in there. If I call them to look something up for me (I'm going to be buying a new car...or rather new-to-me car) they'll do it on the phone or call me back and give me the information I require. I'm a loyal customer and have in turn had at least 3 people get insurance with their company because I recommended it, the service was just as I had said, and now they too are satisfied customers. Word of mouth. Best advertising there is.


Okay so enough about that...yesterday turned out to be not so bad of a day. I got a cheque in the mail from H&R Block that they'd messed up on my tax refund and instead of the $813 bucks I got, I should have got about $1081 instead. So, there was the additional money (plus the cost of them doing my taxes since they buggered up) that I was owed and really could use right now towards the car. AND I got my cheque from the Co-operators for the money I get back once I cancelled my insurance. Suffice it to say, I was rather happy. :)
