Thinking

Well I have been thinking around here as normal in the household.  I have figured that my Dear Husband and I got out of Sabre Park when we did here 19 months ago.  At this point within 19 months the lot rent went up almost 100 dollars above the 2 loan payments that we have now.  I was in shock when I was told that out of one of my old neighbors this past weekend here.  It has got me to thinking about what if the both of us were still there and we would have been stuck till the very end totally.  The nice thing about where we moved to here is that alot of things are cheaper here for the household while other bills went up.  So now here that is why I have been trying to switch every thing over from the Green Works products for the household over the past 7 months here also.  With the Ajax dish soap, Purex laundry soap, and the Ajax scrubbing cleanser things have got alot cheaper in that way here.  Since I do not watch alot of T.V. during the week here while some are at work it gets turned off totally from the power strip along with other things not being used and unplugged also.  That is how I end up with a power bill that is about 50 dollars a month here for the house compaired to the 90 dollar pluss power bill from the can here.  Also I am not using the dryer except for maybe 2 loads a month to dry the laundry.  This is why I have the lines up down stairs and the drying racks for outside at this point in time.  Also I am still using coupons at the stores at this time even though we moved and I have started shopping smarter here.  It is well worth the trouble to get alot of things off the cards along with the coupons.  Pluss I get down to Punxy also to do alot of the dry bulk shopping at this point of the year also.  Once the weather starts cooling down again so things will not spoil at all I will start getting the freezer and the fridge stuff also here for the household.  There is so much going on at this point in time that I have to be cheaper from now on here that it is not even funny.  Thank goodness that I have stocked up on things that are needed anyway here in the past almost 5 months here.  Also since I do not have to worry about some coming over anymore to the house here it is even better on the budget that has been set up here also.  So now at this point in time since alot of things are sticking around longer here it seems wierd that I do not have to worry about things anymore of what is running low or the budget was blown up here since the power was going all of the time.  With that said alot of things have calmed down in the almost 5 months that some have not been here at all.

Shaking my head

Well I did get 5 loads of laundry done and out on the drying racks today.  It amazes me in how something so little can wipe me out totally around the household at this time still.  So between everything here I do want the lines out side again with alot of room so I can get more out and less trouble on binding over 5 racks to say the least.  So I will see what my Husband can do for this weekend here and go from there.  Since there is at least 2 of us on the block here that still hangs laundry up outside and in the basements here it is not that bad since we can talk while we are hanging everything up while we are out.  Anyway that was only part of my cheap day here and I will take it that much further tonight since I am that tired already here for the day.  At this point in time I have to fold some of the laundry here along with watering the garden also here tonight while I am at it all.  So it will be a long night here either way that I look at it.  At least I do not have to cook at all today here since I do have some leftovers for tonight.  I guess tomarrow I will have to get out to the meat market here or to one of the stores here so I can cook either outside or in the crock pot.  Well I better be off and on the run again here so I can get more done here.

Shaking my head

Well it looks like it will be hotter this up coming weekend so I will have to cut back someplace here in the household again for the power.  The things to go is the lights, computer, and the T.V. around here totally up untill about 6 pm if not later than that.  So now with that being said here at least there is the radio and several books that I have been wanting to read anyway after I get some of the housework done today here.  Since tonight the buckets outside go to the curb here for tomarrow morning it should not be that bad at all here today with what I have to do.  Then there is the laundry that needs to be done for the day here without a question at all also while I am at it in the next few days here.  Thank goodness for the drying racks all the way around for the household.  Since I do not have the lines outside at this point in time here the racks will have to do for now to hang the laundry up to dry.  I know that I will get a power bill here shortly anyway and I will see how high it went for the month here with the 2 window units and without the dryer.  This year is totally different from last year here since the dryer is not being used at all except for maybe 2 loads of laundry instead of 10-20 loads like the one gal did to me.  So I will see this month totally in what is going on and down here.  Since the gas bill went totally down this month I was impressed with that part of things also for the household.  At 50 dollars on the budget plan where am I going wrong here at this point in time?  That is what would hurt some folks that if they knew that the bills were and still are coming down for the household after they dumped me and I redumped them totally 3 weeks ago.  So now at this point in time I have not started anything as of yet here in the house since I have to clean out cages today on top of everything else here.  So it will take maybe 3 hours in what I have to do here for the day.  Who ever told me take an hour a day to clean was out of their God loving minds totally when they told me that part of things along with they had 3 other people living in their place.  So now at this point in time there is not alot that needs to be done at all and maybe that is why I am stalling out also here for the day.  Oh well at least things will get done either way today.  Also it is the 1 year marker after my neck surgery and that it seems wierd at this time to be saying that part.  Anyway I am looking for a good day here in the place and go from there.  What got to me the most here on Monday is that I had started cleaning and my Husband was in shock in what I was doing totally as the normal grind of things while he was home.  Now he can not complain that I do not clean any longer here after this week.  The funny part of it all was that I was always doing something here and will continue to do so each day and week here in the place untill I can get it all done.  And yes it will be done on the cheap end of things as normal.  Oh well now to get started on the place in what I have to do and go from there.

Never ending

Well housework is never ending around my place here.  At this point in time I just got my Husband off to work and I get to reclean in what I did yesterday here in the household.  The poor man was shocked by the time I was done here yesterday afternoon totally.  Now he knows that I am not sitting around at all during the week and I am really doing housework and trying to be cheap at it all.  Since I did refill a bottle of dish soap yesterday while I was at it here so I can have the smaller bottles to use instead of trying to squeeze out the soap of the huge bottles that I have here that were next in line anyway here for the dishes.  I am trying to make it easier on myself here in the household and some do not blame me what so ever at this point in time now.  Here over 4 months ago I ended up with the 79 cent bottles of dish soap for the place and my Husband is finally realizing that I was in the right for stocking up on that part of things also here to where others were cutting me down at the time.  Since I have went that much cheaper here in the past four and a half months here things have got alot better on me in a way and the other thing was that my Husband started hollering about me not moving fast enough here on the cleaning.  So now since I got my toush somewhat into gear yet again for the place I still get hollered at for what I did not get to.  With the housework it has got alot easier on myself along with that much cheaper without some coming over all of the time here now.  Since I can use less of things here yet again it has worked out to my advantage on alot of things for the place.  In a way there is less cleaning here all in all once I think of it after I got dropped.  Alot of what I am doing now is the up keep on the place to keep it looking clean here.  Since I did shock my Husband yesterday here when I was in full fource cleaning as I do on Mondays here he has learned that he does not have to keep on my toush here to do something anymore at all.  With that being said he asked this morning in what I had planned for the day and I told him that I was going to end up cleaning more today and go from there.  In alot of ways that is where he gets messed up on about in what I end up doing for the household totally.

Laughing

Well I went down to PA on Friday and got back yesterday here.  Now that alot of things are stocked up for the household here yet again it seems wierd.  So now here I will say that all I have to do is stock up on some of the freezer stuff that is needed that I will not bring up at this point in time with the warm weather that is going on.  Other than that it looked like a bomb went off in the kitchen when I got home totally.  I did save about 200 dollars totally here for the household in what I got.  With that being said here I have some back stock that will last untill January around here totally and I am happy about that part of things.  Now to get the garden to really take off for the year and go from there with the veggies.  The nice thing about all of this around here is that I feel recharged about things that have been going on here in the household.  Ok so I will admit that I fell into a slump for about 2 weeks here and I could not get out of it at all untill the past 48 hours when I went to PA.  I also got to think on the budget for the house here on the 8 hours that I was in the truck also here.  Alot of things are going out the window around here and things will get alot cheaper for the household in the coming days, weeks, and months here.  I have realized that I can get things alot cheaper here for the house and it is on myself to do so at this point.  There are times when I know that I just have to get out of the household here to charge my batteries here and knowing that I am more at ease here at this point in time that my Dear Husband is shocked over it all.  Now knowing that I have to get more walks in around here while I am home here it will work out for the best on my part.  Now here at least I have eased my mind also here in what I have done over the weekend since I did get at least 2 walks in while I was in PA here along with the shopping that I did.  What would have cost me 100 dollars for the truck here in NY State only came out to 30 dollars in total.  I can not find the huge jars of peanutbutter here at all in NY so I figured that I would go looking yesterday on that part of things here.  I found that it was 7 dollars for the 5lb jars so I picked up 2 for the 2nd kitchen and one here for the house.  It is alot better than the 11 dollars that I was paying for the one jar here in the stores in the area that I am in at this time.  So now here I have realized in why I go down to Punxy here and I am so use to dealing with alot of folks anyway so may as well.

Running early

Well I am running early on the dinners for this weekend here as of last night.  Since my Husband came in and I cooked dinner here totally the kitchen is torn up yet again.  So with this morning here I get a ton of dishes to get done along with other things for the day.  With things getting cheaper for the house here by the day it seems like the weather will not let up for the power bill here at all.  Even though I can not complain about the 2 window units that will be going here for the household totally and the power bill that went on last year even with the dryer going.  This summer the dryer went out the window totally like it did at the trailer with the cool air going on here in the house.  What the one gal did not know was that I will always have a tight grip on what goes on with the things that suck on the power bill for the place.  Like the gal really cared in what I was trying to do anyway here since her power bill is about 200 dollars a month compaired to the about 50 dollars that mine is normally and alittle higher during the summer months.  Yes that is one of the things that I have noticed about the can and what others do in their place at this time.  With that being said here there are ways to get laundry dry without using the dryer at all for the place along with keeping cool in the household.  When I was using the window units last year I ended up closeing up the rooms that were not being used at all here and closed up the bathroom doors here in the household to make sure that none of the cool air was wasted and where the sun was beating into the house also.  This is what some did not get at all when it was 78 in the house here and went up to 85 with the bathroom door wide open with the sun going into the bathroom window at the time.  This year that will stop and I already put my foot down on that part of things for the place.  So now lets see what I can get into for the day and go from there.

Shaking my head

Well everything hits in the middle of the month here for the bills.  All except the loan payments for the house here.  I am just happy that I can pay the bills without a problem anymore for the house.  Since I have switched alot of things over here in the household it seems that I have more money to pay bills around the place at this time.  Ok so I revamped the budget alittle over 18 months ago so I could get things done.  I was thankfull for the back stock that I did have at the time for the place.  So now at this point yes I do have 2 loans here for the house to pay off.  The one I am paying more on just to get it out of the way here totally so I do not have to worry about it anymore here.  My Dear Husband was shocked at the first of the month here since I have had a tight budget here for that reason here.  Since I pay more on the one here and can not wait to get that paid off so I can have extra play in the budget here it will not be all bad at all.  So now here since I am so use to cutting on the budget here I always look for ways to cut on that here along with several other things here while I am at it.  This is why I canned the house phone here 17 months ago since I use my cell phone all the time anyway and it was an extra 50 dollars a month for the house.  Some folks did holler about that part of things and I ignored it here.  Some that were with me over at the trailer would have freaked out without the phone at all here when the moved happened.  All I can say is that some things went out the door here and I do not mind it at all.  About this time last year I figured that I would get the scouring clenser along with the cheaper dish soap at the time since I wanted to get cheaper for the house on that part of things while I was at it all.  With one person that had cut me down at the ankles for that part of things here in what I was doing she is no longer welcome here after what else she pulled on myself and others.  Since the stress levels have went totally down here on my part along with most of the pain while I was at it not having the person around I figured out right quick that I was better off for that part.  With a clear mind and no more drains on the bills for over 4 months here things have got alot better here in the household.  I seen where I still had to cut at and other things that I can cut on also here for the place.

Alot done

Well I got alot done here yesterday on the cheap side of things.  Alot of it was picking up the kitchen and mopping the floor also.  Now for the rest of the bathroom along with the main room here for today to clean of course so I will be busy yet again for the day.  It makes me wander in why I get stuck doing things on my own here.  Oh well I guess it could be worse totally at this time.  As I sit here and think of making another list for the day here in what I will be doing to be caught up of course with the household it does not seem so bad now in what needs to be done.  I am lucky to say that I have the scouring junk for the bathroom at this time so I can get the shower stall done and that room mopped up also today and it is the only thing that I have left out of that part of the bathroom at this time.  With only about 15 cents to clean the bathroom that is left I feel lucky for that here totally.  Also I will be getting upstairs today with the other bathroom that needs to be scrubbed down while I am at it all here it is not that bad once I think of it since the half bath does not get used all of the time.  Yesterday here I ended up at Walmart for a handfull of items that I totally ran out of here in the household and the poor cashier started laughing about in what I had in the cart.  Ok so I miss judged the dog food and the soda for the month here to say the least.  Pluss there were 3 other things in the cart that did not pretain to squat here at all.  At least I will not have to go back out at all untill tomarrow and that is how I like it here.  One of the things that I miss about the trailer is that I could walk to Walmart and Target and it took me less time to get there on foot than driving also.  Other than that I am happy to be away from some neighbors and other neighbors I do miss also.  It is also nice that I do not hear a raido for 8-10 hours anymore here for the house.  We get the 3 seconds of a car radio maybe 3 times a day and that is it on the street.  Other than that it is pretty quiet and I get more done that way for cleaning.  Another thing is that since I got away from the park things did get alot cheaper for the house.  Maybe because I can think around here on what I can do to cut the costs that much more without being bothered on that part of things.  When I started switching to the cheaper cleaners and other shopping that needed to get done I noticed a huge differance in what was going on here in the household.  It is like I am not as hyper on alot of things and I can stay out for 2 hours now looking around the store while I am out without some watching what I am doing here and how long I am out for.  I also got better at checking out the prices at the stores here since I do not have a time limit anymore from some people.  It was not the people in the can that I was at nor this house at all it was from some of the neighbors that were around the can.  So now at this point in time since I have been trying to get that much cheaper here for the house and others have hollared about that part of things also while I have been at it all I noticed that some folks did not like it at all in what I was doing.  Like when I was and still am hanging the laundry outside to dry.  With the drying racks here it has helped out alot at this time since I do not have the poles nor lines outside at this point also.  So I have managed in that part totally and do not mind it what so ever in that part of things here.  It seems wierd that I can do more things that can cut the bills down for the house and not be bothered by it at all nor from anyone else also.

Snapping

Well yesterday everyone was snapping at eachother and that is fine by me here.  After cleaning a good balk of the kitchen on the cheap yesterday during the day it is still not good enough for some that are here also so I had planned on doing more anyway for today so that will get done.  It takes me more time to get the chore's done than what some folks realize here totally.  After all said and done here things will be getting done on the cheap without a problem at all and at my own pace.  I have tried several sites on the internet over the years and it has not helped out at all for a clean house along with everything being cheap.  I guess that I will have to get into a rutine again and just start doing.  I will figure it out by this afternoon again and let everyone know in what is going on here on my part of how it is going.  Since Monday mornings are normally my major cleaning days I did slack off yesterday since I was in the truck for 2 hours totally and my neck was trying to kill me also after and that is why it started in the kitchen and ended in the same place.  For today I will start again here shortly and tag each room one by one here also to see if that part of things help out.  That and make a list.  Since I do not need alot of power to do what I need to do for the day the radio is fine at this time to keep me going.  Yes it will be another cheap day going around here without much thought at all since I have been cutting down on the cleaners still.  Some things have not changed from the trailer in what I have done other things I have slowed down on totally in the past almost 2 years.  So I will get into the run of the mill yet again since I have to force myself to do so here also.  Now to get started on the list and make sure that I can check things off as I go here totally.

Willing to say

Well at this point I am willing to say since I have been going cheaper here other things have happened beyond my contorle over the years at the trailer.  Ok my electrition helped me out and no it was not my ex husband at all.  When he got married he asked me to do something that I refused to do for him since he was married totally and that was his wifes job.  I went to doctors appointments and got other things dumped in my lap 2 1/2 years ago as of today also and tried to ignore alot of things that went on in 6 years.  The mans wife could give a rats toush about the medical that was going on after the balances dropped on the mans head PERIOD 6 Years ago if not longer and that was about the time she came up here to see her future Husband.  It took me about 6 months to a year to tell myself it is not on me it is on the gal that came up for the electrition to do what I had done.  Between doctors appointments and tests that were going down she did not give a rats behind on what was going down at all.  I did what I had to since I was there and went from there and had to take a huge step back.  I stopped asking to barrow his car at the time and got the Honda up and going also at the trailer before I got the mini van.  Niether one of them shown up to the funeral of my sister in law and one of them knew the woman well.  That was 5 years ago on May 12th here.  When some things do not go to someones pace or their attatude at all the less they know the better off they are here in my eyes.  I got asked to do something and flat out said no.  That was after the electrition did some things at the trailer to help me out and I scratched his back by cooking for him when his girlfriend/wife could not do squat right for the man at that point.  With the gas getting shut off/ canned so they could catch up on the bill at that point I knew.  I feel somewhat guilty for not being there for the electrition at all and know that it was his wifes job to know what the Hell was going on and go to the doctors appointments with the man here at the time with other things.  Yes I am pushing things on the gal since I was no longer needed at the time since I had to step out totally since she was there and later I will say what was told to me here when the gal lied about me here since I did not name call what so ever except on myself.  That was the only name calling that went on and her oldest daughter is the same way as her Mommy.  I have never felt better in 4 months here except when the gal contacted me to be friends again a week ago today and I felt like I had been hit with a metal ball bat after she left after the surgery a year ago.  I will say that I had to lift not even a week after my neck surgery here for things since the gal could give a rats behind on things totally.  Bitter does not say the words for squat that happend.

Finally

Well I ended up with a new grill and lawn mower around the household here.  After 18 years it is about time with all the waiting.  With it being way to warm out most times I go out to the gril to cook so I do not overload the window units.  Since I can make the burgers cheaper than what I can get them out in the stores it is even better on the budget here.  Ok so somethings never change over the years here at all.  With the house finally stocked up on alot of things and the garden in I may as well try to keep it all very low with the budget that is set up here.  With going down to Illinois when I did along with going to PA here just last month it worked out better than what I thought.  I spent a quarter of what I would have here in NY State for what has been bought.  Also I have to keep some things seperate for the 2nd kitchen here totally.  Ok my Dear Husband went back to the 18 wheelers and has not looked back.  Now at this point in time I have watched every penny, nickel, and dime that have been here and went as cheap as I could even working more myself on some things to get the house going and fed here.  I guess this is why I did not mind going on walks here and picking up the nickles at all along the way.  Now I can look back and laugh here since I have done some things to get dirt cheap and other areas I was trying to get that much cheaper for the trailer and I have kept it for the house here totally.  Ok so I picked up alot of nickles here without thinking of it along with cutting the costs of alot of things over the past 2 years here.  This is how I ended up with some things brand spanking new also for the place.  That and with the place stocked to the gills in alot of things that are needed for the house.  Since alot of things did not work out to what some expected that they would that is fine by me.  They did not know in how cheap I could go for the trailer to reach out and get a house also.  Since the food and cleanner budget got slashed hard along with the power bill at the time it made it easy for the house here in what I could do.  The power bills never hit below 90 dollars at the trailer when we got out of there I about flipped when the power bills were 50 dollars at most here for the house.  The 50 dollars is the base for the house here and since some tossed me to the curb that has went down also here.  Now with the food bill that has went down here also I can laugh since I can get the burger rolls again along with other things here to feed the household.  There is alot of pasta and rice still here in the house just like the trailer had.  Maybe that is what made some folks that knew me just blow gaskets totally in what I cooked at both places.  There are blocks of cheese still in the fridge and I grate those still myself along with butter also.  The veggies will come soon here for the household and some things I will plant here without even thinking of it and they will go down in the basement where it is cooler so they will keep longer.  At the trailer I could not plant as much there with the kids along with everyone else also that was there.  Now the fresh veggies will taste different with the stuff that I have in the planters totally.  It is well worth to get out of the trailer park when we did over 18 months ago.  With the trials of that place I can make it almost anywhere at this time. 

Cheaper than what I thought

Well I went cheaper than what I thought yesterday afternoon here for the household.  With the garden almost in at this point in time here and one last tier that needs to be finished it is almost time for another load of what I call dirt for it.  Also since we have most of the plants and or seeds into the garden already I should be good at this point in time for that part this winter even without some things that were not planted at all.  With that being said here the one neighbor about flipped out once he figured out in what was going on all I could do was laugh about it all.  Since alot of the things that have been going down here since myself and my Dear Husband have moved into the house here it is nice that I can still try to be cheaper than snot for the household at this time.  And yes I still try to get out on my walks still to this day.  I will say that it helps to clear my mind to start in on what I need to do for the place.  Also after the accident that I had 2 years ago in Augest here and the surgery a year ago it does help curb the pain.  That leads into the walk that I got in last night and where I went it was almost putting me to sleep at 6 pm totally.  It was pretty bad and I stayed for about 25 minutes and that was it.  At least there was no gas wasted on that part of things for the night here at all.  After all said and done for things here at least it is all coming togeather yet again.  I am still cooking on the cheap also for the house here and why should I change that from the trailer.  Since some do not mind here in what I have been doing it is all good on my part.

Changes every place

Well there has been alot of changes with me here.  Part of it is that the both of us have moved out of the trailer park totally.  Also I have been dropped by a supposad friend while I was at it all.  So in the mean time here I started switching things over while I was at it all here in the cleaners and soaps.  New house and new attatude about alot of things here.  When I started again to cut on the buget here for the house I ended getting cut down over it totally.  Alot of the cleaners here for the household I have found eather at the dollar stores and or a chain drug store most of them were under a dollar after all said and done.  That goes along with alot of the shampoo and conditioner also here for the place.  And yes I did learn in what my Sister in Law did and not to do that much for the household at all.  I try to keep things down to a small bucket here for everything and not the big huge bucket that I had at the trailer.  So at this point in time for the place it has been one of the things of at the first 8 months here we were totally broke and I had to find a way to cut things down for the household.  The house phone went out the door the first couple of months that we were here and I have not put it back in at all over 16 months later.  The next thing was that I have not used the dryer at all here since I got the lines up in the basement along with more drying racks here for the place also.  I still turn everything off during the day here while my Husband is gone to work.  That part has not changed one bit at all from the trailer to the house here.  The nice thing about all of in what I have been doing is that hardly any of my neighbors have not said much about in what I have been doing here at all.  Another thing is that with the loss of the trailer we lost the A/C unit there along with the Trymph also.  I just hope that who took them chokes on it or is so haunted that they will not bother anyone elses things at all.  With the trailer being haunted the way it was I am ok by leaving there.  It has been a hard road here in the past 18 months totally and we are getting back on our feet still at this time on alot of things.
