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.

Shaking my head

Well I have been working on the bills yet again here for the household.  At least some folks have gave me the green light here to do what I need to do also for the place.  With that said here this is why alot of things get ran at night with the off peak hours at this time.  At least one person that was coming over to get her laundry done could not understand in why I said no dryer untill 8pm in the household here at all.  Now with the summer here and going very quickly also I have been getting 99.9% of the laundry outside to dry on either the racks or the umbrella lines here.  I also have the lines down in the basement here also for the winter time so I can hang alot of the laundry up year round here for the place also.  When my Dear Husband backed me up on not using the dryer during the peak times of the day the gal could not understand of why untill I got the power bill here and shown her in what happends to it all.  It seems that when the friendship fell apart here then the power bill pretty much went down along with the water bill also.  So now at this point in time alot of the lights will not go during the week here when I am home alone untill about 8pm for the birds and that is it for the day and it is about an hour that they are on also.  So now at this point in time there is alot of things still that I can cut down on and I get my wish as of tomarrow here totally for that part of things.  The window units will still be in the windows here in the place just incase if it gets to warm in the household for everyone that is here.  Another thing that I have noticed also is that some people just do not care in what they do to other people also when it comes to using them for what ever reason.  My sister said something about she had someone in her office that came from the area that I am in and she was butting into everyones life.  I told my sister straight out do not tell her anymore than ya have to since she will stab ya in the back totally on what was said.  Since there is alot of differances between work and home and what ya do at home does not mean it will go to the office nor affect the office at all.  The gal thought it did and started ratting out almost everyone that was in the office about their home life to the main boss.  All my sister could do was shake her head at the time and say that I was right on what was happening at the time.  Also my sister told the gal was that I was the cheap one and do not worry about it at all and so did their boss at the time.  Some people found out right quick that I do not put up with gossip along with back stabing also here in the area and I just seem to get cheaper here for my place when they start flapping their tounges about me.  It is like I have to prove a point to some and made it all work some how some way here for the trailer and to the house here over the years while I was at it.  Maybe that is alot of the problems with some of us here in the area totally since some of us do not care in what is said at all in what we do.  This is why I do not mind hitting up all of the cheap stores for things also besides cutting down the amount of things that are used along with needed here in the household.  When my sisters and my father realized that in what I had been doing here for either place that I have been in they about freaked out about it all.  Also this is why I do not mind going for walks also here so I can pick up the nickles along the way.  It breaks up in knowing in what I have to do here for my own sanity along with extra money coming into the household.  This is why I do not trust some people that are in power at this time here.

Laughing

Well yesterday here I did get to some of the laundry here for the household.  Today will be even worse here totally between that and the cages that need to be cleaned.  Since there are several hot spots in the house here I may as well get started here shortly to get alot of it done for the morning.  I am just thankfull that nobody is here so I can get all of this done without being asked why I do it this way instead of their way in the household.  I have noticed that since I have been home here I have had alot of good thoughts on how to cut down on alot of things here in the household without a problem at all.  Also here my Husband has not freaked out at all on me in what I told him in what I wanted to do for the place.  Alot of things get done during the week here without my Dear Husband even home and that is how both of us have cut down for the household over the past 20 months.  The nice thing about all of what I am doing here for the place at this time is that I am taking a long hard look at alot of things to see where I can still cut down on things along with other bills here.  This weekend will be shot anyway since I will have to run the window units here and that does not mean that I do not have to do other things that are on the cheap side for the place here.  I know that I have said in other posts here that I am always working on cutting down on the cleaners for the place and that part will never change at all.  Also in between time here I have to get back out to Target to return an item that niether of us can eat here in the house.  Ok so I got some pretty good deals with that part here yesterday while I was out of the household this week.  One thing that I have noticed when I threw out people and told others no on moving in is that I can go to places like Target to shop now without a problem at all here and still be cheap on things.  Since I do not mind Target at all here and at one point I refused to go with some people that were at the trailer.  It says something in how things have got alot better here in the past 20 months totally.  There are other places that I shop at also that I would not figure on also for the household at this time nor 3 years ago.  So now here at least I can say also is that now I can get the off brand names and not think twice about that part at all for the place that I am at.  So now lets see what I can get done for the day here and go from there.

Planning

Well at this point in time here I am back to my walks here totally.  It gives me another reason of why to budget that much harder here for the household along with the back stock in the household.  So now here with that part of things that I am working on it gives me a chance to start out again for the groceries for the place.  Since there are dollar stores around along with places like Aldi and Save A Lot here I should be ok when I go to pick up groceries for both kitchens.  Since my Husband asked yesterday in how I will end up doing alot of things now after all of this, I told him easy at this point since I have been thinking on alot of it anyway.  With that being said here I have been wanting to turn off alot more things here in the household for a good while and this week I get my wish on that part of it.  Now knowing that there has been alot of hot and dry days all over the place it has finally cooled off enough to where I can turn off the window units here and open the windows totally.  I guess it goes along with in why I hang the laundry up to dry here for the household also.  When I seen the 170 dollar power bill this month I freaked out about it here.  So now I will get something done about that very shortly here for the household.  Since I am revamping the budget anyway here for the household I have started in about 3 places here and knowing that it is not to much on me for that part of things it is ok here at this point.  Pluss the walks are to clear my mind anyway from the jumbled mess that I have in the memo department and I get that out of my system.  Sometimes it was easier in the trailer since it was an excape out of there to go for a long walk.  Then I look back over the past 20 months here and ask myself how could I have put up with some of the people there totally.  I was getting cheaper there at that point in time untill I let some move in with us also and noticed that the bills were going up instead of the on the way down.  Maybe that is why I said not to the person who asked me to let him and my one Niece come here to the house also.  And that is a whole nother blog period here on that part.

Shaking my head

Well at this point in time here I can say that the second load of laundry is in the washer and the first load is out on the lines to dry.  This is why I wanted at least one of the umbrella lines here for the yard and it is making it easier on me also to hang out laundry.  With that part here since I hang up the laundry here for the household it cuts the power bill down.  Since even my Husband knows that with the dryer not going here this summer compaired to last summer here this past month the bill was 80 dollars less at 103.56 with the window units going all of the time.  This has told my Husband something here totally and that was with the drying racks also here for last month to dry laundry outside.  With in what I have been doing here for the place in the past 20 months here I have realized that some things that I have kept doing since the trailer I have noticed the difference here.  Since I can do alot more here without being cut down all of the time like I was last year here it has made a huge diffference in my attatude also.  Sometimes I get down here since I know that I could do something at the trailer before the surgery compaired to after the surgery.  With hanging laundry here it makes it easy for not to do some things here that others want me to do.  I have also been lifting when I was not suppose to also and that is why I did not ask for help after the first week after the surgery while I was at it all.  All I can say is that I am happy that the one person that was suppose to help out here and myself had a falling out.  I have felt better here in almost 6 months and found out that I can do more without the stress nor being cut down for what I do and get for the house also here.  With that being said here at least I know that stress is a huge factor for the pain here that I was going thru.  Some folks have also noticed that I have been doing alot more here for the household and commended me for it.  So I have been trying here to get things done and still need some help doing some of the things that need to be done.  There is not other way of looking at it and I am not a spring chicky anymore here.  Anyway it will be another cheap day here for the household and that is how I like it here totally.  Since I have cut things down here along with shopping smarter here it has helped alot in what I have been trying to do here for the household.  I also realize it takes time to notice in what goes on and see what happends here totally when I really kicked things into high gear for the cheap side of it all.  Since I hang the laundry up along with turning things totally off it made the difference here on at least one bill.  Also there has been a shift of thinking here for me with what has happened in the past 6 months while I have been at it all.  With that being said here at least I will say that it has become alot easier on what I have been trying to do.  Ok so part of the garden is a flop this year totally and next year I will have it all beat to grow more veggies and fruits for the place.  Also I will be able to put another umbrella line here in the yard while I am at it all.  It all takes time to do things and I will start takeing it in stride here also.  So there are up sides to everything that has happened over the past 20 months here and I keep reminding myself on that part of things.  Pluss the household will get that much cheaper with myself doing also here and keeping it all up while I am at it for next year here.

Way to much

Well I know that I have way to much in the one room for the back stock here totally.  Since I have started organizing that part of the house yet again that is when I know that I have to stop and use up in what I have here in the household.  So now here some have realized in what I was doing and my poor Husband did not say a word to me in what is in there at all.  At this point in time here it is not that bad at all since I do not have to go back out and get some things for the household now.  Another thing that I have realized is that at least one neighbor has figured out that I have got alot cheaper here within 19 months with the place.  With another neighbor the guy can not stand it when I start hanging laundry out on the drying racks at this time along with other things that I have done so far.  Little does the guy on the one side know is that I am taking up the cheapness to another level here for my place.  Since I found out some things yesterday here I am not happy with someone here and they will find out that what they wanted to do will not work in my book at all.  So this is another reason of why I want and need to go that much cheaper for my place.  Besides it will make the one guy totally nuts on the one side of me here in what will be done from now on here.  Now here since I do not mind hanging up laundry at all here in the household or outside depending on the weather and alot of other things that are going on.  When I started alot of this I was at the trailer and will continue to do alot more here at the household.  I guss this is why I started getting the cheaper things here for the household in the cleaners and soaps also.  Some are not impressed in what I do here so far and it will only get worse as time goes on.  It is like a need to get the house that much cheaper here at this time.  With that being said here there is alot more that I can do here without a problem at all for the household.  Now here I will be running the window units here part of the time and see if I can get by without them during the day here for the most part untill the off peak hours come up also here.  Knowing that I do not need anything out at the stores here it does help out for that part of getting cheaper unless there is a huge sale at the stores now.

First day home

With Alice it is his first day home. He was being so sweet and funny at the same time last night. He got really excited when I was by his cage. Another couple was over last night to see what was going on except for when Paula Dean was on. Well my Husband and I figured it all out it is not the birds that she has it is her voice. I had to laugh about it becuase both of the boys were quiet while they ran the show. Anyway I am undecited on weather to keep the box going for the T.V. here in the main room so I can flip on thier Paula at noon and at 6. Other than that I will be off of the computer for most of the day today and go from there. I wander what is in store for me today. Since yesterday got a bit better after picking up Alice. When some of us play by the rules around here and most of the people don't even know if and when I am home since I am quiet around here even with the 2 quaker parrots here in the place talking to eachother. When my birds go into stress becuase of the radio across the street then I do have a problem with it and the so called Management does not even care about what is going on. This is why I am saveing up more than normal around here and going cheaper than what is expected of me. Well some said it best yesterday when they told the supposad manager around here that he should beat the boy but, wont becuase, we would be the ones to get the boot out of here. After we got back with Alice the office finally could hear the go kart and the radio 2 blocks away. So I will be getting more coupons, there is also the Kmart card and do some shopping over there, and many many more things also that I will be doing around here. I can also streach out more stuff around here that will hurt others that walk in to my place. There are ways and tricks still that I want to try yet around here as of yet. During the week it is a bit easier on me to start trying more also. Ok folks have fun and play harder.
