Copenhagen & New Living Quarters

 We're going to be in Copenhagen at the end of this week before we board the ship.

Has anyone been to Copenhagen?  Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do there?

I had a work partner when I was in my 20's named Tula who was much older than me, originally from Denmark,  She never really talked about her homeland and had lived in the US for decades.

I though erroneously that the Anne Frank house was in Denmark and not the Netherlands. duh. lol

All I know is that the Little Mermaid statue from Hans Christian Anderson is in the harbor there.

And the original Lego Land is there.

We'll probably visit the mermaid statue by the harbor but not the legos. 8-))

As for our new living accomadations--

The new place meets our needs, mostly.  It's a bit smaller than we need.  We'll need to rent a storage unit for the stuff I am selling and get it out of the garage,  This place is just temporary and gives us a year to find a place to buy.

There are 3 annoyances we have found so far here--
The main thing is the road behind the duplex runs down a hill and folks gun their engines and speed down(or up)the road.  The bedroom is in the back of the duplex.  It would have been expedient if the builder/owner had put a fence up to muffle the sound from the road as the backyard is quite small.
The other two problems are not going to ongoing.
The refrigerator makes beeping sounds at random intervals.  We have a work order in to get this addressed.  I had a dream last night about a robot that beeped. lolz
The third item is my sink in the master bath.  I noticed that it was slow to drain so Hubs hit it with some Drano.  But it still was slow to drain,  So I investigated and here is what I pulled out of one of those stoppers you can't remove.............

A big wad of hair, mixed with some dental floss and part of a Band-aid and something else I couldn't identify,
You would think that as part of the cleaning of the premises they do when a tenant leaves would include checking the sink drains in the bathroom,  This is stuff I pulled out with my fingers!  Hubs pulled out more gunk with tweezers besides this,  Just nasty!!

I don't know whether to bring this to management's attention or night.  I don' t want to be "that" tenant but come on!  these are relatively new duplexes(maybe a year or two old)this is something that should be cleaned.

The last week we spent $160.01 on groceries and the savings rate came in at 44.10%. Spending for the month is $627.16 and the savings rate is 30.93% for May before rebate monies are added in.

Rebates earned in May--

$123.43 on Ibotta

$18.00 on Checkout51

$42.67 on SwagBucks

$0 on Aisle and Misc.

$443.06 total in $$

Total spent after rebates is $443.06

for May. I need to find someplace other than Walmart to buy groceries here. We picked up loss leaders at Shoprite but it's crazy how much more food cost here than in LA.  I still miss Kroger even more.  We gave ShopRite a shot but it's not the same as when we shopped there in the old days, 8-((

16,932 Pts. on Fetch

3,177 Pts. on SwagBucks lol

353 Pts. on My Points

2,212 Pts. on ShopKick

2. Monday--Leftover Steak, Corn on Cob

3. Tuesday--Leftover Chicken Parmesan, Green Beans

4. Wednesday--Leftover Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Biscuits or Sweet Potato Fries

5. Thursday--TV Dinners or whatever

6. Friday--No Clue

We have a much smaller fridge/freezer now so have to be more strategic with food purchases here.  It's going to take some getting use to.

We are cleaning out the fridge before our trip.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week.
