Hope yet

Well I have not found my one good knife as of yet around here.  It did the up and gone trick.  I have the bigger knife that is left and of course I had to cut myself throwing dinner into the crock pot afew minutes ago for the morning.  Between the crock pot and afew other things for the household here I might be lost in some ways.  Also I have to get a double batch of biscuts up for today while I am at it all.  This is the nice thing about being cheap on alot of things here in the household.  One pot meals around here and not even thinking twice about it all.  What I have done is thrown in a roast for dinner along with carrots, onions, potatoes, and I will be throwing in grean beans also into the mix.  Other wise if I would not have thrown everything into the crock pot then my Husband would call me to pick him up at 8pm tonight around here.  It always happends like that around here and then I will not be able to eat again tonight.  Maybe that is what I need also is not to eat for a good while around here.  Oh well at least there is food around here now.  While I was up at the store this morning I got asked what the girl could do to cut her power bill around her place.  I asked if she had an eletric dryer and she said yes.  I told her to start hanging up her laundery and afew other things in the new place because the pwoer company was baseing the useage off the person that lived there before her and she told me well that makes since now.  Some of the things that the power company will not tell the person untill they ask point blank about it to them.  I told her to get the drying racks from Ollie's when she could afford them and they work wanders for saving on the power bill.  Plus afew other things that she could do also while she was at it all today.  I found what works and then some on alot of things here int he household and do not mind doing it all.  Things like power strips and turning off at the switch like the cable box, hanging the laundery to dry, and useing some candles for light.  I have figured out alot of things that help out in the household that I do that saves money.  Like useing less cleaners for the place and useing rags to clean with also for the place.  Another thing that I found is that alot of the name brand stuff is not always cracked up to what it is worth also.  The funny thing is with me I am so use to the no name brands that I get the name brand stuff and I do not like it at all for the household.  Except for the Green Works products that has not bothered the birds at all around the household.  Another thing is if you have a Kmart around get the card PLEASE.  It is well worth it when you get enough points on the card thru the year to go for holliday shopping or the end of the year shopping for the household.  I buy alot of things at Kmart anyway and it is a treat when I do not have to pay for anything by the end of the year for the household.  At this point in time I am thinking of December when I can get some stuff for free for January when I am broke.  It all works to an advantage in my household let me tell ya.  When I say go looking around see what you can get at rock bottom sales do it for the household.  This is how I have been able to feed the household around here and other things also while I am at it.  I had someone else ask in how I was going to manage the household and I told the person very cheaply and have been trying after the accident.  Another thing is that alot of folks figure since I dress in sweats all of the time that I can get the better stuff at the stores also and lend out money on a constant feed line.  Some have found out differantly also in the past 2 months or so also.  Not that the trailer was cheap by any means at all.  Now some people are out of luck when I say that I do not have it at all to let them barrow things nor money.  That is what gets to me the most is when some figure that I have money when I do not even have it.  I am just suprized that some have not called me by now mouching and begging for things this month except for one person that never asks at all and I can not help at this time neither.  THat is what I get for running 2 households and one that I am not even in anymore.  So my days of helping some people are over and others have to learn that I am not a bank and can not hand out the smokes also anymore around here when they run out of money by the end of the month.  That is what you call over extending yourself every month.
