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.

Well I got some more done today

I took the cans in and 33 dollars later for them. That was the cans from the household. I had to laugh about it tonight. Pluss I got the van back early also. Arm and Leg but thats ok at least the worst is fixed and now to get the other parts of it within a couple of months. Well the Hippy talked me into going to Walmart and Ollies. Niether place was bad to get out of. Some odds and ends that were needed. Now for this up coming month it will be somewhat bad becuase I dident totally stock up for this month at all. In Febuary it is always bad becuase you barely make the bills and get a bit of food to last you thru. I will have the stack of coupons with me for alot of the places that I will be going into and driveing folks nuts behind me. Untill they see the totall after I get done of course. That is the best part of the shopping trip. Pluss I was explaining to the young man in what I do when I go for the big trip of shopping. He asked if I went out to several stores and I said yes and with a fist full of coupons also. I did save alot today in all that I got without the coupons. For a 44 dollar bill it would have been 90 dollars at the regular store. And most of the stuff I picked up were brand names. This is why I say shop around. Another costomer and the Hippy were talking about the prices and you have to watch them in all the stores. Now for the Paula Deen cook wear over at Ollies is about half the price of the web site and other stores. I diden't get anything of the cook wear at all. I did get alot of food items while I was there. Like big bottles of Jack Danialls bbq sauce for really cheap. And the store changes sometimes daily and sometimes weekly. It is like a Big Lots and a Dollar store in one but messy its one of the stores you have to dig in it to see what you can get. Anyway most of the laundery is done around here of course. Now there are some bedding that needs to be done and that can wait untill tomarrow or next week. I will say that not everything gets done in my place at one time. Also I refuse to keep a perfect household. When my body says no more guess what I have to stop and sit down for awhile. I will work for 15 min and sit for 15. I can get more done that way. The Hippy laughs at me all the time for it an he knows what I do to make it during the week around here. I know that the Hippy doesen't hollar to much at me now becuase I have found a system that works and he doesen't mind what I get done as long as the main balk of the work gets done. Pluss not only that I get done what I get done and some days it is all I can do to get out of bed to say the least about me. When I go to the do the grocery shopping it gets worse around here with me it wears me out. Then I get to break down meat to meal portions to the can. It works for us around here. ok folks have fun and play hard.
