Woke up late

Well it is not in how I wanted to start the day around here by getting up late and it is just plain out cold outside.  So I got the normal running here in the household and it will not affect any of the bills none that come into the house here at all.  I told my Husband this morning at least we are not working at the one place anymore that we had to have the space heaters and turbo heaters to try to keep warm with.  Once it hit about 32 out doors it was 22 in the building and dropped off every day that we were there.  Anyway I want to get it so cheap around the household at this point that it hurts some folks that come over to the house.  It will not hurt the people here in my place at all once it comes down to it at all.  I will start keeping track of what goes out and comes in better than what I have been doing in the past almost 5 months for the place here and that meens by writing down all of it.  Also I can see what I am streaching out by doing that and see if I can streach out something even more by the time I am done with it.  Since my Husband does not mind me doing all of this at all for the place I can do alot more than what some may think that I can do for being cheap around the household at this point in time.  Now some years ago while I was at the trailer maybe a handfull of people that lived in the park started saying that I was just plain out stupid for what I was doing at the time when I was totally broke and barely making ends meet for the place.  I was cutting everything down that I could at that point in time and making a trial out of it to see if it would work.  Well after 3 months of not needing some of the cleaners for the trailer and not having to get some stock for the landery area nor bathroom then it really got out with 2 folks that I was totally stupid on what I was doing.  With that being said around the trailer park I always had the over stock and food in the trailer and I had money leftover after I paid the bills also for the place.  The more I went to the cheap side by cutting the dryer sheets, useing less of the laundry deturgent, cutting the meats in half for dinners, and turning off things while I was home the worse that the tounges would wag about it.  I have added alot more things that I have added to the list over 15 years ago and some have not liked it at all in what I have done to save money around the place.  Now at this point in time I have noticed that some have not been over hardly at all to the house here.  The people that have not been over hardly have said that I have got alot more nasty in the past 6 months around the trailer and the house here and they refuse to deal with it out of me.  With all of the stress that I was under when I had my Niece there at the trailer, the car accident, and moving to the house gee I wander why I had a huge attitude and I kept my mouth shut on alot of things that were going on.  Also I was hardly leaving the trailer at all except to get up to the doctors office also.  I was told by Tammy Banks not to even bother to leave the trailer at all or she would throw me out of the park because she could and could do what she wanted since she was and is the Park Manager.  So I went as cheap as I could for the rest of Augest and the rest of the time I was there.  Alot of the neighbors now have noticed that I do not go outside that much at all and I could care less about it.  So here I am seeing more things that I can be cheap about around the house here now and alot of folks are not going to be happy about it all.  I still refuse to get paper plates for the household and I am still streaching out things for the house and it will get worse before it gets better for the place.  I am not totally worried about what others say at all about me or what I do or do not do for where I live at.  I do what I can when I can and some folks do not like it at all.  I still have the stress around here and it is less than when my Niece was in the trailer at this time.  Now the food budget is going really good and all the soaps are being streached out to the max for the place yet again.  And I know that I can make it without alot of help for the new place at all.  That is part of what was nagging me is that if I let my Niece, her boyfriend, and their friend move in that I would end up doing all of the housework and be told to get to my room by all 3 of them for the place after I got the cooking and the cleaning done for the place.  I know that I would be over worked here at the house if I let them move in and broker than ever.  So now at this point I will do what I have to for the place without hardly anyone here and find ways to get everything cheaper than cheap also while I am at it.
