Long day

After I get the laundery folded I get to take the Hippy to work/up to the truck. After I get him out of here I get to clean for the rest of the day. It will not bother me to much since I get to run out to Collins tomarrow morning. I will be doing the house work on the cheap around here I hope. Well I won't run out of anything at all at this point in time. What I did was pick some of the stuff up last month when it was on sale over at the dollar store. That is what gets to some folks here in the trailer park about me. Is that I will pick up alot of things for my can and stock up that way. One person told me last year that she coulden't afford shampoo anymore and I looked at her shook my head and walked away. The person who told me that was in a perfect spot to start picking up cans out of her yard also. With all the cans that are thrown out becuase of the kids I have got at least 10 dollars out of my yard and several vacant lots around me. Most folks here in the park will put the cans and bottles in the bins for the recycling. Acouple of the kids and I raided the bins one morning and split all the nickles. Sometimes I have to laugh about it around here. When I can get at least 2 dollars if I don't look and more than 5 dollars if I go walking around looking. And for someone to say that they are broke and then not take the bottles and cans back in for the nickle makes me wanna shake my head. Now yesterday I had alittle over 33 dollars that I took in. Yes I let them build up and then take in at least 5 bags at a time for the household ones. Now after that being said I had another dime that someone handed me also in cans. That is going for my stove fund. Now that doesent include the ones still in the van that I have picked up along the way also. Sometimes I do just let the cans build up and just wait untill I really need them for whatever for the can. It also goes along of being cheap also around here. Lastnight when I walked out of 2 stores for under 50 dollars I knew I was doing good. With me since I do try to keep stocked up around here so I know I have alot of stuff on hand for the place. Then this way I don't have to worry for awhile. Pluss I try to get things on sale with a coupon and have stock on hand and when it goes off sale I am not stuck paying full price for nothing if I run out of an item. That is what folks don't see about my place at all. Some figure that I will go out and just spend money around here when I don't. With the animals here in my place I do that on the cheap also. The cat is not as picky as the dog and bird are. Even then I pick things up on sale and have some things back for the Bird, cat, and dog around here. I learned early. Anyway at least there's enough to do to keep my busy around here today with cleaning. As I have said before I get 15 min of work in and sit for 15 min. SO I get to piddle around the can and get it clean also. I get more done this way while I am at it all. Some days I do not get much done at all and that is fine also. I am not one of these neat freeks at all. I have what is called clean clutter in my place. To where my place is clean but, cluttered at the same time. I have 700 square feet and not enough room for all that I have. Alot of it I have become creative on getting stuff out of the way. I have an old T.V. stand in my kitchen that I use for some appliances and other things. There are also 2 white cabnets for flour and other things that are overload for the rest of the kitchen. And the extra cleaners also. Ok folks have fun and play harder.
