Wandering

Well I am going to wander nomatter what goes on here I guess.  So now at least I can get some things done today and go from there of course.  With 3 big loads of laundry here that needs to be done along with the normal other things also here it seems strange that I can get part of this all done today without a problem at all.  Also now with another holliday coming up it will not be that bad at all this go around here while I am at it.  Anyway at this time at least I can be cheap about the things that need to be done here in the place and go from there from now on.  I have came to the point of when I see a nickel in the parking lots and on my walks here I will pick them up totally.  Since it does not bother my Husband at all it is that much better on myself here.  At least it is something coming into the household that I can do myself totally and not feel totally guilty on picking it up.  One persons loss on the nickles here is another ones gain at this time.  That is how I will be looking at it all now for the place and I may as well do that part.  Since I try to cut things down for the place here totally it has helped out in more ways than not also here.  I have nothing else better to do with my time normally here when I am alone during the week.  With that being said here I guess some of the things that are here in the back stock I got lucky on.  The sales were to good to pass up at the time for what I have and I stocked up on alot of things for the place at the time.  This is why I do not have to run out and get dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, bar soaps, laundry soap, fabric softener, and bleach.  Then the part of the food for the household also I got ready for while I was at it to make sure that I had at least a months worth on that part of it also.  So now here at least things are getting done and I will sit down here to pay some of the bills while I am at it all today or tomarrow.  I guess it gets to alot of people when I can get cheaper for the house here and not think twice about it at all.  It is also bad that the taxes are going up here within acouple of days for alot of us.  With that part I am thankfull for places like the dollar stores to where alot of people would not be caught at now at this point in time.  At least one dollar store will help me out in the long run here without some people even knowing about it.  Also now since that is said I will have to go that route here very soon anyway for my second kitchen totally.  My husband does not mind that part of things at all in what I am doing for food in the house along with what is there.  So lets see in how I get all of this done here and it will be put down here.

Working already

Well I got one thing out of the household and truck already here this morning.  I had over 13 dollars this morning here when I took them into the store.  Since I am sticking it into the one jar that I have set up for all the nickles that I get here on my walks at this point and it will be the extra money totally now for months ahead here totally.  So now at this point I am still plotting for the household here in where to start first of course.  Everything will be cheaper than snot today of course and that is one of the hard parts that I have to do for the day.  With that said the laundry will be hung up once I get that started here along with a sink full of soapy water and a sink full of rinse water for the dishes.  Some things never end around here at all with the housework.  So as I sit here and start to think about things here that I can get cheaper on, there is alot of work that I can do for that part of things totally.  It is one of my goals for the new year here anyway and I will see in how it all works out.  Since I have noticed that the dollar store will help out on that part of things here for the household totally, it will not be so bad.  I am totally gearing up for things to start going sky high anyway all over the place and the dollar stores are a good place to get started on alot of things here anyway.  Since the dollar stores in the area that I am in have a good stock of cleaners, food, soaps, and household products also at this time here now it is not that bad at all.  Some things though some people will not like at all when you first try them in the kitchen.  At this point I would have the cheap O's for cereal than the regular name brand stuff still.  Once you start bringing in the non name brand things into the household and that is all you get to feed the household the people in it will get use to it and not want to go back to the name brands.  Another thing is that I found that works here is that I keep a name brand box for something and put the off brand in the one box.  It workes wanders with picky children in the household.  With that said here when you go alone to the stores it is cheaper that way.  Pluss eat something before you go also.  Most of the time I have a list in my head here and it helps out to know the store lay out while you are at it.  Sometimes Walmart is cheaper in some things of course but, that is everywhere you go.  When I had picked up 4 packs of elbow pasta for a dollar here last week it worked for me totally.  Now I can throw it into soups and other things that I make for the household totally here for the place.  Alot of the times you have to get creative with things also in knowing what works and what does not work alot of the times.  There are alot of times here that I just throw everything into a pot and there is dinner for the place.

Shaking my head

Well at least the truck is back up and running here once again.  Since I told my Husband I won't beg him to do anything at all and it hit him totally yesterday morning.  I learned years ago that begging and pleading with him does not work at all to have him do anything around the trailer and the house here also.  So after all said and done here he sprayed down the cap down with WD40.  If you have a Dodge Ram truck the cap is known to get water into them because of where they sit under the hood of the truck.  So what you do is hold down the gas peddle and crank over the key untill it starts and keeps running after that get a can of WD 40 and spray the cap down good and it will keep the water out.  My Husband freaked out when I told him that one of his buddies told me to do that part of it and do not worry about it.  With spraying it down like he did it will last for at least 6 months to start with that part done.  When I say there is 101 uses for alot of things I can prove that part.  Not only can you fix some car/van/truck parts with the WD 40 it takes squeeks out of things, and you can use it for your joints also on top of it all.  I learned that part of things when I was young and the parts on vehicals alittle over 2 years ago here.  All I can do is laugh at times since alot of things have many uses in my household totally.  When some people say recycle things in the household they mean it.  Just like ice cube trays when they have a hair line crack and will not hold water anymore they make great trays to hold things like the screws, nuts, bolts, beads, safty pins, pins, and many other small things to get organized.  Just like the end table that is so battered and tattered in a houshold also has many uses.  That is when I have thrown a folded sheet over one and let it hang down around the sides of it at the trailer.  With that you can store can goods under the sheet totally and they are hidden and out of the way and still use the top to hold things like lamps, coffee mugs while you are sitting there and several other things you want to put on it.  It comes from living in a small space also when that part happends.  There are alot of things that can be reused totally and making the stuff look totally different also for the place that you are in.  With that being said here this is why some habbits with me are hard to break around my place at this time.  When myself and my Husband finally broke down and got the new grill and lawn mower for the house this past April some were in shock that we did that part of things.  The one lawn mower was getting fixed and ready to go back to the one gal and that is how we got the other also here.  With the grill here it had cut the costs in the household since I did not have to use the oven hardly over the summer months.  Pluss I still have alittle bit in the one tank from April here and I used the grill more times than not here over the hotter than snot days.  So there are alot of ways to save money on the bills for the household nomatter in how broke you are.  Alot of things have been pulled from the side of the road here while we were at the trailer so we could have something to sit on in the main room at the time.  And yes we were that broke to where we could hardly pay the bills at the time.  So now things have got somewhat easier and I can pinch money untill it screams more than once still to this day.  The funny part of it is here is that I will hoard a 20 dollar bill in my purse and when we are that broke at times of the year it is gas and food money still to this day.  I think that is what gets to some people still about me here in where I am at.  Since I am a tight wad in many ways here for my place it makes alot of people wander and think in why I am doing some things that they think would never work for them.  I guess that I have got use to some things thanks to some people for spending every penny on me at one time or another while I have been out on my own.  I guess it is another reason of why I will keep cutting the costs as much as I can nomatter in what I do here for where I am at now also.  Pluss not only that this past weekend I got asked my both of my sisters here if I had food in the household.  I said yes and all I needed to get was butter and milk for the household.  Since I have a ton of pasta and rice that are still here for the place at this time I have food.  To go along with that part of things I do have canned veggies for the household still here and with the rice and pasta I can get several meals out of that part of things here.  This is why I say that there are some staples in the kitchen and there is always something to eat for a meal if you look at it and figure out what goes with what and when.

Wandering

Well I still wander from time to time here and I have thought alot about getting cheaper for the place here again.  Now with the bleach in the bathroom that will help out here for that part of things in the household and my Grandmother started laughing since I am figuring out that it is ok for myself to get that much cheaper.  Also I got some advice from her while I was on the phone with her this week.  So now at this time at least I am getting things done on the cheap for the household again and everything is kicking into high gear from the trailer.  All I can do is start in on alot of things and go with it all.  Pluss it is all worth a try again in what I was doing at the time.  With that being said the bleach has been broke out for the household to clean with for parts of the bathroom here along with when I start running out of cleaners also in the kitchen again.  Maybe this is what is worrying some people at this time since I am thinking about alot of what still needs to be done here totally for the place to make it that much cheaper.  Since I do use the old news papers also here for the fire place and that part helps with the gas bill also for the place at this time.  Now with the laundry here I have been using less of the soap along with the fabric softener here, then to hang up everything in the basement here also.  I may as well here since I have nothing else better to do here during the week.  I started that with the drying racks at the trailer during the last winter that we were there also.  Pluss it was one of the several things that came to the household also here.  When people try to tell me that the 15 year old dryer is on its last legs I start laughing since I have hardly used it at all over the years.  So now here at least there are some things that are in place at this time to cut the costs and there will be alot more here very soon also.  I guess this is why I have been looking and thinking on things as of late here.  As I sit here now and think of how I will do all of this in the household and still keep my head on my shoulders also it may all work out for the best in cutting more out of the budget here.  At least I can make some people madder than snot at me for what I am about ready to do here also.  Since I am willing to shop at the cheaper stores still at this time it will help out also for the place.  Now at this time I am really thinking here also about some things.  The one dollar store is not so bad at all and I will start going back there for cleaners and some food items also while I am at it all.  So now it is some food for thought here and to start thinking on what to do when there is no hope at all.

Shaking my head

Well at least I am seeing things that need to be cut all over the household again.  The funny thing is at this time is that my Husband is agreeing with me also in what I need to do on parts of it all here in the place also while I am at it.  Since it is winter time I guess that I will keep using the hair dryer here untill warmer weather hits and see where I land up on that one also here the man was shocked in what was going down with the fire place also here.  Since it puts heat in the house and the furnace does not have to work as much here it is a good thing at this time once I think about it.  It all seems strange that I am seeing things in a new light here to keep the bills low.  It will all work out here one way or another or it will kill me one around here also.  Since alot of things here I have hollered about totally my Husband has finally came to realize that I am right on that part also.  So now with leftovers here in the household along with me cooking again tonight I may as well be hung out to dry totally.  So that means that the walks will start up again for me to start really thinking on what to do for the household here and to get extra money on top of it all.  I can say that the walks clear my mind so I can see things in a new light also for the place and it does not seem so bad when I get back also to get things done.  When I can pick up a nickel here without even trying after we cashed in the pile that I had in the house it all works out.  Now at this point in time there is still alot that I can get done totally here and that is how it goes with me.  I guess it is one thing that my Husband does not get as of yet in what I am trying to do now once again.  I have came to the point at this time that I need to do more nomatter what goes on during the week.  With that being said here there are still ways that things can be done here and some of us have to really think about things here.  Since most of the time I am here by myself anyway in the house and it gives me a chanse to do more also during the week.  Alot of the time here the power is off for the most part and just the radio going.  Also I try not to waste other things here also during the week while I am alone here.  Sometimes I have to laugh in what goes down here that works for being cheaper than snot.  The fire place keeps all 4 birds happy and it is free intertainment for them since they like to watch the flames.  Also here it helps with the gas bill totally to keep that down to non stroke level here while I am at it.  Now I have to work on the water bill here to get that one lower here also and see what happends.  Since there is only myself here in the household it should not be above 50 dollars period for that one.  So it just tells me that some are just robbing the money since the city is broke.  That is what gets to me the most around here with the town and the city here totally, the power bill was out of this world in the town and the water bill was low, in the city the power bill is low and the water bill went thru the roof.  So now with that part I will have to work on that part more here totally during the week here.  I guess dishes every other day along with other things that can be done during the week.

Shaking my head

Well at this time I know that some have already went back and said something that was told to them to the person who dropped me at this time.  All I can do is laugh now since I pretty much knew anyway in what was going on.  So as I sit here and got some words of good advice yesterday while I was out and about for the morning.  After returning the nickels like some of us do all of the time you get to know some people in the area totally.  So the advice and words of encuragement here yesterday I felt better after all said and done.  Since knowing alot of what was going on it is nice to have some one give the friendly push to help get my toush into gear instead of being cut down for what I am doing for the household at this time.  Now here yesterday I had been in and out to the back yard to hang laundry here for the day so I did not have to hang it all up in the basement yet.  When I walked back in my Husband was talking to someone that came over all of the time and told him to check out where we went to for the phones on Friday here along with what else I was doing to save money for the place.  The person freaked out since I have switched even more over to the cheap side here for the household than what he expected.  So now here at least I can say that some things will never change with some people that love to waste money at their place.  When I started getting the non ultra dish soap along with several other things to clean with here that are good cleaners and have been around for years here and on sale for dirt cheap I got cut down for it all at the time to get stocked up again.  I guess it goes along with turning off things totally except the radio during the time that I am alone here for at least 5 days a week.  Also since I do not like to use the dryer at all for laundry here I try to keep that off as much as I can for the place.  With the huge drop after some did not come over anymore amazed me totally.  This is what some did not realize in what would happen here at all after all said and done for myself not really changing much for what was going on.  So now that was part of the advice that I got for yesterday also is that I am on track when someone does not like in what I am doing to save money for the household.  That part helped and the guy did not even realize that he had done that part to brighten my day here.  This is why I am saying now that I know that I am on the right track in what I have to do.

Looking like here

Well today I get a good look here for the household since my Husband is leaving this morning for work again.  So now at this point it feels like a Monday morning here and that part can not be helped at all at this time.  Now all I can say is that I will have the time to get things done here in the household with an early start of course and to look around to see what all needs to be first on the list to get onto.  At this point I already have an idea here and do not mind it what so ever at all now.  Also it gives me a chanse to get started on a cheap week here for the household totally.  So as I sit here and plot most of the week out here totally to get things done here for the place it seems that I can still do everything on the cheap side of life here and more often.  Since alot of things hinge on me here for the household it will be wierd for me to get alot of this done at first.  Also here the huge pile of laundry will be hung up out side this week yet again since I do not want to run up that power bill at all in the place.  So I may as well get the stuff outside while I can here before the weather turns really bad here in the area.  Now here at least I know that things will work out and I will have to get alot more done from this day forward here.  Knowing here in what I have to do here for the household it will not be so bad after I get into the full swing of things again here.  Since I had took a break from everything here for the household at one point in time it since I was being torn down for what I was doing at the time I had stopped for alot of things.  Now I am getting back to it and will not be bothered by the comments anymore here since it has stopped totally.  So it makes me wander also about some people in the area here.  With that being said here while my Husband and I were out yesterday here it amazed me in what some people were buying where we all stopped at during the time out of the household.  So now here since I got out of alot of places yesterday here for fairly cheap since I am watching every piece of money coming and going here I will continue to get that much cheaper here and be done with it all.  Knowing that I have to still cook and clean here for the household that will be done on the cheap again and I do not care in what some will say about it at all when they all find out that I am back on that part of the waggon for the place.  Now at this point there are other things going down also and I am letting it be what it is since there is not much I can do for it at all.

Shaking my head

Well at this time here I will be doing alot more cheap things for the household totally.  Since I have been dropped on the curb again with some things here I have no other choice in the matter but to go cheaper for the place.  The nice thing about all of this is that I am alone during the week here and will get more done on the cheap side than what some will figure that I do for the place.  Also since there is very little that I need for power and other things also here for the place the bills should get cheaper here without a problem at all for the winter time.  Since alot of things are still here and will get used again, I guess that in what I was doing with getting the back stock into the place will pay off also at this point in time.  What my main problem is here is where to start on things here in the household and what I can deal without all of the time here also.  So during the week while I am alone here I will be trying to go without the T.V. all of the time for the place along with some other things while I am at it all.  The bad part is that I can get alot of things over the radio here that I can get over the T.V. if not more so and it keeps the birds happy while I am at it here.  Knowing that I have to cut way back on other things also here for the household this should be totally nuts here for at least a month if not more from now on.  Alot of it goes back to me and what I have been doing apparently for the place at this time again.  I have alot of guilt here in what has been going on over the past several years and it stinks totally on my part.  Now I will start again on alot of things and be done with it all here and will be saying tough to alot of people again on what is going down.  With some of the things that will go on here from now on is that the lap top will be out more along with cutting things down that much more for the place here and really think of how I will do things with 2 choices in the matter also here.  It all goes with the guilt here also on top of it all.  Now with the government trying to say of what we can and can not eat also it makes it that much harder for some of us to get down right cheap for the places that we are at also here.  Since prices keep going up at the stores here with the hot weather and no rain and the gas going up along with other things some of us are done playing the game totally weather some like it or not at this time.  I would rather do without here in the household and go from there at this point.  I guess this is why I have the cook books in plain view at this point so I can cook on the cheaper side of things here in the household and will be doing alot more here without a problem at all since I do have food here.  Now here there are ways that I can do this and be done with it again and not have to worry about what is said to me here from neighbors that could care less in what is going down.  Last week one person tried to cut me down and I told him that it was not his place and he was more than welcome to pay the bills along with getting food for the place at that point.  It shut him up and got him to think of what is going on.  I am not as lucky to have someone that will help me out in a pinch at all and I have known this for years here.  This is why I started alot of this at the trailer at the time to try to get the bills down along with other things.  Some people did not help me out niether at the time when I started things also from what I can remember out of that part of things here.  So now things have got somewhat easier on that part for the place since some are no longer with us and other factors in the mix.  I guess that is another reason why I got called a "Rich Bitch" by some over the years since I was tight on the money then and will be getting even tighter now with it all.  At this point in time I have also realized that some things can wait for about 3 days now here to get done and that will help out on streaching things out that are left here in the place also.  With the weekend yes I will get the dishes done since I do cook alot here.  During the week I can wait for acouple of days also since there are 2 of us here at times and other times I am here alone also for the place.  Now I am thinking hot and heavy for the week days that I am alone in the place and can do here also at this time to get things streached out.  Since I have to have structure for the place totally I may as well do things my way here and be done with it also while I am at it.  Knowing in what I have to do here also helps out in alot of ways here in the household and it will get done.  Once I have thought about this over time there is nobody going behind me anymore except on the weekends wasting things on me at all anymore for the place.  I am sorry that I have let it all happen here before the past couple of months totally and there will be no more doormat syndrome at all from now on also.  Now to get things to the point of it will work for the place and go as cheap as I can from this point forward and not to have guilt that goes along with it all.  Also now the back stock will last me for awhile here in what is in the place and go from there.  Maybe that is part of the problem here in the way I do think instead of what I have done before over the years.  So now I will have to think on alot of things here during the week and go from there also here for the household.  I will look at new ways of doing here and get them down for everyone here as the time lets me.  Since I will be hanging laundry from now on also for the place more than normal for the place it will hurt some totally and hurt more in the people that are nolonger coming over to the place also.  That goes along with cutting things off totally during the week here totally and I have to stick to my guns with that part for the place.  So I will try things out and get them down here.

Plain out wierd

Well yesterday I went into Walmart here to get some of the things that were needed for the household totally.  Since I needed to stock up on bird food and the place has what I want in that part of things that is fairly good on the prices for the birds may as well pick it up.  So as I was standing in the dog lane of things also another woman was shopping for her pets also yesterday for the hollidays here and plain out told me that the prices went up totally.  I told her yes it did and that some of the things over at the dollar stores were better priced at this point from last month here that I could remember.  We both started laughing about the comment that I had made and knowing that we were the tight wads out of the store at that time of the day.  Since Kmart has sales going on every so often for the dog and the cat here I end up over there instead of at Walmart most of the time for that part of things totally here for the place.  Also I have noticed that my cat does not mind the one food that I pick up for her all of the time at Aldi.  Ok so she is a cheap cat that does not care at all after she gets fed.  Anyway at this point in time the birds are set on their stuff here in the household and I can stay out of the stores for the most part here for another 2 weeks also while I am at it all.  Since I do have food in the household still here at this time it is not so bad now.  The woman that I was talking to asked in what I did to keep the household going also while I was at it all and I told her that I did try to keep away from alot of the power during the day and did things as cheap as I could for the place.  When I told the woman that I was married to a truck driver then she realized that I had to start stocking the house this month here since the next 4 months are gonna be bad here she was shocked in why I was getting things right then to set up for things that were to come.  So now here with in about a month I will have to do a major hall for food to get things stocked up again in that area of the place.  This is one of the reasons of why I have not totally freaked out on alot of things here in the household as of yet.  Also here I will say that I am waiting to find out in how many sweet potatoes that we have from the garden this year since it is the first year on that part of things also for the household.  With alot of things here I am trying to get things done that some would not even bother to do at this point in time.  The garden was one of the things that I wanted and it turned into a need also after I knew that the price of food was going to go sky high on alot of things along with the gas prices.  It amazes me that some people will pay any amount of money on things that are needed for the place that they are in at this point in time and they do not care at all if they go flapping broke over it.  Also the rate of people being on food stamps has went up all over the country here and that is how the government wants it.  With the food stamps you have to watch in what you get constantly or be thrown off totally for getting the wrong foods with them where I am at now.  That is what some have not got at this point in time that are in the elected office.  Also Baurle had did a 3 hour show on what the kids have for the school lunches and the kids hate alot of what is being served to them now.  At this point they are forced to take either a veggie or fruit with the crap that they serve.  I will admit that it was bad in the late 80's early 90's when I went to school.  Then Mouchie wants to say in what parents pack is not good enough compared to the school lunches here.  When the pizza was dripping with oils and what ever else here when I was in school it was bad enough, I can only imagine what it is today here with the lunch that they serve.

Shaking my head

Well at this point in time I do not want to know squat about the truck at all.  Since my Husband figures that he can still waste money here still to this day we had to get out to Collins of course again yesterday here.  So I went with him and found acouple of things at yard sales and got them for the household.  I am still not happy about it and what can I do at this point in time for the place besides go for more walks here while I am at it all.  Pluss we landed at Aldi for afew things for the house here and under 27 dollars I have enough food to last for about 6 meals in total again along with leftovers.  Also while I was at Aldi I have figured out that I can get more for the second kitchen here without a problem when the time comes to restock that part of things here.  Since my Husband does not figure that I take mental notes at all when it comes down to that part of things let him start thinking on what is really going on here for the place.  From now on I will be going to Aldi for more groceries for the place here weather some like it or not and see where I land up after that part of things.  Of course I will land over at other places when the prices are dirt cheap and that will not change out of me at all here.  With that being said here at least I know in what I can still do for the household and make others mad while I am at it all.  I may as well get that much cheaper for the place here and be done with it all.  Alot of the times since I do not feel good at all this is why I get to the closest store and go with it all also.  Now that part will stop around here and things will be going on that nobody expects out of me at all anymore.  At this point in time here I know when to buy alot of things and when not to.  When at this point it is not good to buy turkey at all and my Husband about freaked out at the price per pound of that yesterday here I started laughing.  Also in how soon the man forgets in what I do here also for things to be that much cheaper for the place.  With that part I will not get any turkeys untill the day after the next up coming holliday here and it works out better that way when it is about a quarter per pound in the stores.  Also here I will admit that one of these days some will get a crash course in what I do for the place totally.  Some like the one Niece will never get it at all in why I did the things that I have done totally untill she is at the end of her rope and that dead broke in the household where she is at this time.  So now here I will be doing alot more from some of the stores around the area and it is about the same distance to both Save A Lot and to Aldi.  One store has better can goods the other has better things in goody isles.  It really depends on what mood I am in totally into where I go for the month here from now on.  Anyway with several places that are cheap here and myself cutting down on the bills at this point in time I should have everything beat to snot here yet again.  Since I am the one that is doing for the place here and the crash course will begin here for some here in the household very soon.

Well at least I can take in birds here and give them a home.  I got 2 more birds here and that is that.  It will not cost anymore than normal here than with the boys that I already have.  Now at this point here I will have to clean one more cage out and go from there.  Anyway since I can get that much cheaper for the household here at this time it is well worth it in what I can do.  The funny thing is that I got asked to cook for someone that I was sitting for by the time we all got done.  Pluss the childs mother asked in what else I did on the cheap here for my place all of the time.  So I told her in what else that I have added here for the place.  Also I told her to start hitting up the cheaper stores for things while she was at it all.  It is well worth the trouble to get the off brand things at the stores now since almost everyone is broke here in the area.  With 5 kids in the household the cheaper things will not hurt at all at this point in time and they will like the food once they all get use to it.  Also some do not know how to shop once a month here in the area at all.  So I tried to explain to the person that it is ok to get the 15 boxes of cereal for the house once a month and go thru one box at a time also and that goes along with getting things for the freezers for the month while they were at it all.  It finally clicked with the person totally in with what I have been doing for years while I was at the trailer and here for the house.  Pluss it is ok to get 3 bottles of laundry soap for a place also when it is on sale.  Since I hardly go into some places because they are high priced stores here in the area and it is ok not to go into them at all.  When I get asked about some things here for the household I ask myself can I use it for short and long term for the place.  Another thing is that I have stocked up on alot of things here for the place also so I do not have to run out and get something every time that I turn around here.  So now with that said here there are ways to save money for the household nomatter in what goes on in the world.  I have to laugh sometimes here since I have switched almost everything over here in the household to the cheaper end of things that I got on sale and stocked up on alot of the cleaners and soaps for the place.  Since my Husband does not mind in what I have done here at all and will say that things will get used up anyway and it will take some time to go thru some of the things that are here.  So now here I will have to start jotting things down to get done again during the week and see where I land up for alot of things also from now on.

Shaking my head

Well at this time I am still wandering around the household here and I am shaking my head over this.  I guess some of us will pay and it will always be me here in the place.  So now at this point in time here since there has been alot of changes so far here in the house it will get worse before it gets any better from now on when I am alone.  Since I have thought about this alot here in the past couple of weeks on how to do all of this here in the place I think now that I have it after this morning here.  Since I do not mind getting out of the household here for walks here, I will end up going out in the middle of the day and get my walk in from now on.  The early morning is not doing it anymore and I proved that yesterday here to my Husband.  With that part being said here at least I know in part of what I have to do for the place.  Or I may just get out here twice a day for a good while.  It will help with to clear my mind either way I go.  Anyway yesterday I got out for awhile here from the place and ended up turning in part of the nickles here in the place and I felt better after that.  There is still alot that I have to take in at this time and that is ok at this point.  The funny thing is that I have been on the cleaning jag here and alot more is getting done as of late.  Also here I noticed with the one cook book that I have here I end up with some leftovers also for the week.  It is better than what I was doing here before.  Now I can brake out the cheaper versions of recipies for the household here and not have to worry about being cut down for it anymore.

Shaking my head

Well yesterday was a fluke here in the household totally.  It seemed nomatter what I tried to do here nothing got done at all.  Oh well at least there is today and I will be doing alot for the household without a question at all.  So now here since some things have to go back up to the store so I can get some money here for the gas tank along with other things here in the household it should not be to bad at all for the day here.  Since my Husband has not said much to me about what is going on here in the household I am not to worried at all in what will happen next here.  So now here at this point in time I will have to get alot cheaper here in the place so I can pay all of the bills off on time.  Since I do not need the window units for this week here at all it will help out alot on the power bill to bring that bill down here along with the walk that I will take also for this up coming week here.  Also the fresh air coming into the house will not hurt anyone at all while I am at it here for this time.  This is what some people can not understand here in the area still about in what I will be doing except acouple of people who know of the why and they are just as broke as we are.  Just like when one is on a fixed income already next door to me already and that was a quick year already.  At this point in time some were asking me yesterday in what I have done so far this week in the cheap department here.  I told him ya seen what I did with all of the laundry the day before and 2 umbrella lines totally full at the time.  Between the towels and the other stuff that I had that built up on me for over 2 weeks here it was well worth it in many ways also to also show another neighbor that it is ok to let the laundry go for days on end without running everything every day.  Even others have noticed that I have been doing other things here for the place that they like.  Between using less of the cleaners here and getting the cheaper end of things it is well worth it to keep the household going at this time here.  So now at this time I will start watching in what I do more often and see what I can cut out even more here for the place.  Since I have refilled some of the dish soap bottles here it has made it a bit easier on myself to pick up the bottles on the bad days to still use less of that part of the cleaning.  Pluss I had 4 bottles left of the same brand that I was using at the time in the ultra dish soap here in the household.  So that will get used up here without a problem at all now.  When it takes me 2-3 weeks here to go thru the non ultra soap for the dishes there is a problem totally.  Knowing that I get enough soap in the water with the use of very little to where others use way to much when they do that part of things.  My Husband started laughing yesterday and asked why the one bottle was not gone as of yet here for the week when I thought it would be.  All I can say is that the poor recycle bins were full this week and I had miss judged in how much was in the bottle also.  So this up coming week there will be at least 3 bottles in the one bin here and that is not bad since everything pretty much gives out at the same time in my place totally.  The funny thing about all of it is that since I do alot of the recycling myself here and I make the neighbors look like they are lazy on that part of things.  Also I just thought of something here since I pretty much know when the garbage goes out around the area and that is when I will start taking more walks during the week days here also.  With that said here I may do ok during the week here totally on some things since most of us put the stuff out the night before.  Now that it is hitting me here for what I should do and will be doing here for the household some are gonna be mad at me even more so than before.  It goes along with knowing that I need to start dropping my weight here and the walks help out in that area may as well make it worth my while totally here also.

Doing the right thing

Well today is a good day here so far with what I have for the day.  With that said at this point I will have to hit up 2 banks today and some time in the truck here also this morning.  Ok so the loans are do here and that is how it all goes.  Since at least 2 days this week I will be on the road here today being one of them here totally and again on Friday it makes me wander sometimes in what I am really doing.  Also here since I have cut way down again in the household at this time I start remembering in it is ok to have a crazy week here also.  The nice thing about the crazy weeks here for the place it gives me a chanse to get out of the house for at least a couple of hours and it also relaxes me since I do not see the walls of the house for that long.  It is part of being cheap here is that I stay home alot and when I can get out of the house to do something here like pay bills it makes in what I do well worth it all on most days.  Also I get to think on things while I am out either in the truck or on my walks here.  It clears my mind and I can think of other ways to get things done in the household while I am at it all.  With the things that I get done with cutting things down here in the place it makes my job that much easier than it was before with a girl that did not give a rats behind on what was going on at the trailer.  Now here I have started cooking on the cheaper end again for the place and nobody complains in what I do for dinners anymore also.  There is still alot of rice getting ate for food here also just like I did at the trailer.  With the rice it is one of the cheaper foods to eat and you can almost throw anything into it to make a meal also.  This is what my one Niece could not understand in why I was cooking so much rice at the trailer.  I have also realized that I got lucky when I did throw out my one Niece since she wasted so much on myself and my Husband while she was with us.  So now I am thinking that I did the right thing here by throwing her out and telling others no for to move into the house here totally.  Also knowing that I would be stuck with alot more of the cleaning, cooking, and shopping if I said yes here, along with going with the thorn's movement while I was at it, along with missing doctors appointments on top of it all.  Still to this day some swear that I was not hurt at all and it was all in my mind in what was going on at the time.  Now that things have got alot cheaper again I have learned that it is ok to take my time on cleaning and it is also ok to cut down on more things also while I am at it all.

Thinking again

Well since I have been thinking here on alot of things I know that I can get that much cheaper for the place at this time.  When some are saying that they are broke and then I find out what they are doing here for where they are at now all I can do is shake my head on alot of things.  Since I have started cutting down here in my place yet again it makes me wander in what some are doing still in their own place.  Ok so I never said that I did things the right way and there really is no wrong way of getting cheaper anyway for the household.  I know that I have cut down on alot of things here in myown place here and shop for the bargins also while I am at it.  Just like cooking on the cheap helps out alos for the point of time that I am at still.  Things also like getting dish soap for 77 cents instead of 5 dollars a bottle here for the dishes and other things that are done with that part.  Sometimes I can laugh here since some do not figure that I am as cheap as I am at this time.  When I started thinking on alot of things in Febuary of this year and got dropped and did not want anything do with the person in May I knew that I was on the right track since I did not get cut down anymore.  With that being said I know in that I can do more here and have done more without a problem at all.  Knowing that the power bill has came down here totally without some and seeing that it would have been higher than 170 dollars that it was for this month when it came in by not using the dryer along with other things here.  I have also found out that I do not need alot here for the household with the cable totally.  I have delt without the movie channels for so long that why bother with them to have that bill up higher.  When you are that broke in any household sometimes you have to give up some things that you like for awhile totally.  Just like I did with the house phone here.  It has been almost 2 years here since I dropped that part of things.  That is what some if they were here and still here would not like at all in what I did at that point in time.  As I told one Niece you have the perfect chance to get a pre paid cell phone and to pick up the nickels along the way to keep the phone going here.  I got ignored on that one also so now I am getting the blame on that also here.  There are alot of things that I go with out and I am not complaining at all here.  This is what some never figured out about me at the time at all when they said at one time that I supposadly thought that I was a "Rich Bitch" on things.  I saved up my money here while I was working and got things for the trailer and I have cut back in the house since I am not working at all.  I am sure that some would have hollered about the grill and other things that I got also for the house here and I do not have to worry about it getting stolen out of the yard as much as I did now as at the trailer.  Since I am not spoiled like some think that I am here totally it is ok now in what I do to streach out the money that is coming in.  I scrimp and save for an item or items that I want in the household.  The last big ticket items were the grill, T.V., and lawn mower here for the household that I finally bought brand new.  This is what I get for being a tight wad in several ways that people like my Sister in Law did not get, along with others at the time.  So now with some trying to cut me down it reminded me of why I do not want some folks around at all when I am trying to get that much cheaper in the household here yet again.  I guess all of the coupons and other things were not good enough to some people in the area here and that is how it goes.

Shaking my head

Well at least part of the worry is over here totally with some things that have been going on totally.  Since I have came up swinging here for the one part I feel good about it all.  Now I will be doing what I am suppose to be doing for my place and it will not be pretty around here after I get done from now on.  With alot of the things that I am doing at this point in time I will have to step up the game here on that part of things.  It helps with the back stock that I have got here in the household to get alot of things down.  Now I can work on the power bill here instead of trying to figure out in how I will get the soaps and cleaners for the house.  And yes that goes along with other things for the household at this time.  With this week I did go up to the water company to pay that bill for the house of course and asked in what I could do to get the water bill lower here for the place.  I got told nothing could be done at all about it and deal with it.  So I got to thingking about that part and knowing that we need to replace at least 2 of the faucets here in the household already to help with that part of things.  Since I hardly flush anyway here and take the short showers on top of it I guess that I need to get better at that part.  I am not worried about the washer at this point in time since I have a low flow one at this point in time.  With some not being here at all using my washer for their laundry and myself saying no to others who are water and power hogs at this time I guess I can be thankfull for that part of things here for the household.  With that being said here I have several areas in the household to work on totally and it will all come togeather at some point in time.  With the past weekend since I was down in PA here my Aunt and Uncle could not believe in how cheap I am while I was there.  Since I am use to one main bathroom here for my place I asked out of habbit if anybody needed to use the bathroom before I got in there.  We all started laughing about it once it hit them that this is what I am use to here for my own place.  So now at this point in time it had been awhile with my Aunt also and she forgot that I like my veggies totally here and I loaded my plate up with them for dinner.  I guess it is one of the things that I have here totally and that is how it all goes.  Anyway at least I can say that some of us are getting that much cheaper here in our places and some of us are forced to also.  Now with that part I will not get things like tomatoes at Target anymore here since they charge by the piece instead of the pound.  All I can do is wait untill the tomatoes come out here in the garden now here.  I almost said to take the mater back while I watched the poor gal ring it up yesterday while I was there.  Ok so I had to return something that niether of us could eat at all.  So now at this point I refuse to waste money on food that I can not eat at all here for the household.  Also now since Target is somewhat high on some things I will wait for another day for things that are needed for the place.  Also I picked up another cheap way from my Aunt while I was at her house this weekend and I will get some things totally here in my place that I never would have thought about here to do.

Pulling old ideas

Well I pulled out an old dinner plan that I had from about 15 years ago and it worked here for last night.  I may as well do that part even cheaper around here also while I am at it all.  Even my Husband got the point here in what I was doing totally as of last night for a change and did not even bother to holler about it at all for what I want to do here in the household.  Since I still have a huge bag of rice here for the place I may as well use it up for dinners here totally.  Maybe that is still what gets to some people here to this day about in what I will do to cut the costs in the household.  There is still alot that I can do for the place before I am totally happy with where the bills are around here.  Pluss since I did get alot of the laundry done yesterday here and hung up outside for the day some have not got that part as of yet in why I do things like that for the place that use to come over.  Also I know I did hear some people that stopped over to see what I was doing yesterday here to be cheap.  I do not forget a voice at all here and I know in what the person was trying to do also.  Since I did not have my phone on me while I was hanging up the laundry and the person seen in what I was doing also it was one of the funnies that were pulled on the person that came over.  All I can say is never make the comment that oh you have a dryer and I can use that and not hang out the laundry that I have when some wanted to move into the household almost 20 months ago here.  Since that part did not happen at all here that is on them totally and I have got alot cheaper for the place since I told both of the people no at the time after I thought about it.  As I told my Husband lastnight here that there were alot of factors in the mix and I did not even have a good feeling about what was said and what the 2 people wanted to do here.  The poor man looked at me and said that I was more than right in how I felt since he had the gut feeling also that some things would happen in how I thought also at the time here.  Ok so I took the better be safe than sorry part of things here on what I thought about what could have happened.  I have also thought about in how lucky that I am on that I have the full run of the household here along with I can shop where I want when I want to do it.  Pluss I can come and go as I please without having to ask to get out of the household also while I am at it here.  Alot of the times granted I do not go out of the household except to take the poor dog out to do her thing and to pick up and drop off my Husband here also.  It comes to the point of ok I have to get out at times to do what I have to do for the household and I do like to get out at times here.  So as I sit here and think of all the things that I do here in the household and alot of things have been going to the cheaper side of things that I do, I do not mind it at this point in time in what else I can be doing here.

Work starting already

Well I found out some things about myself yesterday that I knew already.  With that being said I was pretty much down around here and I picked up my attatude here by getting out of the house for awhile also here.  Also in what I have learned here is that I can go cheaper here without a problem at all here and it is ok to do so for the household.  This is what happends when I get out and think in ways that I can do all of this.  Since I got out and started thinking about things here for the household it was a good thing here totally and I came up with more than a few things that I can still do here.  Besides cutting down on everything here in the household as I normally do at this time I have broke out the laptop yet again here to try that part again.  Even though I still need the big system here to print out coupons and afew other things here of course.  Another thing is that I will start walking more here from now on untill it is way to far of a walk along with to many groceries to lug back also.  With all of the stores not to far way here I can walk to pay bills without a problem here along with picking up the nickels to and from the store while I am at it all.  I got to thinking of that part here when I pulled onto the gas island to fill up the truck totally here and 65 dollars later.  The good thing about walking is that I will drop the weight also along with getting the extra money here nomatter in how much it is.  Even the stores around where I am at will take back the nickels that are collected and the dollars will go into a seperate jar and the change will go into another jar here for the place.  I already have that maped out for that part of things for the place now.  All I can do is hope that I will do ok for that part of things here for the household and see what I can do on that part of it all.  Since the washer is already going for the day here and I will get as much laundry done as I can along with other things here in the household since it is the middle of the week here I will do ok I hope on that part also for the day.  Alot of my problem is that I listen to my neck more than ever here and when I know that I can get things done and not able to here I get down about it all.

What was I thinking

Well I still wander in what I was thinking yesterday when I hit Wegmans yesterday afternoon.  Talk about jammed packed around there.  After standing in line for almost an hour to check out I finally made it out with a broke card for the store.  What can I say here except I have one on the way yet again.  After the one girl and I started laughing since the phone number changed and the address that I am at.  So that part is done for the time being here and I get more coupons for the store thru the mail coming to the house.  Now at this point in time some are impressed that I ended up with all the meats that I did the other day at the meat market and that I am cooking outside tonight and the rest of the weekend here totally.  In what I picked up yesterday was bread and onions for the household and second kitchen here.  Pluss there were other things that I picked up also and it was about 40 dollars by the time I got done.  I guess that is how it all goes here for the place totally.  Also it has came to light that the Seneca Nation is fighting with NY State again here.  If the government got up and drove part of the roads that they were suppose to fix and see how rough they really are gee they would have been fixed already after 18 years.  With I86 being such a dang washboard and tearing up tires along with other things it makes me wander.  Ok so the Seneca's are holding the casino earnings for the state to get them off their toushes to fix something here.  This past year I have been on several parts of the reservation and some of the roads have got alot worse since the last time I was there on the road.  I have been up here 19 years and it has been a non stop battle either way.  So now at this point in time here it makes me wander totally in NY State in what they have for the pork barrel along with ear marks for spending.  That in its self is a whole new post here on the blog.

Shaking my head

Well at this point I feel better today than I did yesterday to say the least.  Since I did not feel well yesterday here I hardly got anything done and that is ok.  Today is another day around here totally and I will try to get alot of what I did not get to yesterday done for the day here in the household.  Now with yesterday here I did get to think of what I can really do to streach out everything here in the household totally since it was an off day for me.  As I sit here and know in what I will be doing for the next several weeks and the diet is included with that part of things here in the place this should be good here.  With that being said at this point in time at least I will be saving money on top of it all here without a problem at all.  Also with yesterday I had said something to one of the bankers that I deal with all of the time and the poor woman said that all of the older women do the same as I do here also with cashing in the nickels and that some of them were bugging their Husbands also to put up the lines outside for laundry this year also.  All I could do was laugh here since I am alot younger than some of the women that are at the bank here and older than some that are there also.  Almost all of the older women up at the bank know that I do streach out the dollars anyway from the trailer to the house here still.  We all got to laughing at the bank yesterday here since my power bill has went totally down over the past 3 years here.  I also got asked in what I was doing for cool air for the house here and I told them with the 2 main window units at this time and I got the 3rd one back as of Sunday here also to help out up stairs.  And the women were shocked to see that the bill was only $103.56 for the month here compaired to the 150 dollars pluss from the past 2 years at the trailer and the house.  Alot of it is that the dryer is not going all of the time for the household at all and I do turn things off during the day here while I am alone.  Now I know that it still makes some people mad here at me since I do not use the dryer except for maybe 1 or 2 loads that I need right away here totally at times.  With that part of things I do have some things that are up my sleeves still that others do not know about at all in what I do here in the house that have stuck with me from the trailer.  Alot of things get streached out by not going with what the bottle says that you need for the load of laundry and the dishes at all along with other cleaning agents here for the place.  Also I cook alot more than what some folks give me credit for anyway here and I try to do that part on the cheap side anyway nomatter in what I do.  So now at this point in time here at least I can say that things have got alot cheaper since I have paid alot more attintion to the prices and have got alot worse on it since myself and my Husband got out of the trailer over 19 months ago.  At this point I may as well get started on the housework and cut alot of things off here in the household since I can open up the windows again for the day here.
