Figureing it out around here
Ok I am figuring it all out around here on when to cut everything off around here during the day. I already know that my pwoer bill will be somewhat lower here in the house anyway and that is a nice thing about the place. Now in how I ran things in the trailer will cary over to here in the house. Except it will be worse over here since I have lines in the basement for the laundry now for to dry things. Now with that being said for the place that will help out on the power bill totally around here. I will be dragging in more bottles for the washer also around here so the laundry does not come out totally stiff also for hanging them. I had asked one of the neighbors to ball park their bill so I could ball park mine. I knew with the eletric dryer the bill will go up in the house here and a few other things. So I got to thinking for the place either way I went and figure that since I have the drying racks still along with the lines that helps. With turning off alot more in the household around here while I am at it will work out for the best also around the place. All I can do is start laughing at this point in time since I am the tight wad around the block. I know some folks have me beat to all snot around here to say the least and that is ok. Since I do try to streach out everything for the place here it seems strange to alot of people that I am doing this all at my age. Some of the neighbors that are here at the house are amazed in what I have been doing here so far. With the bags of flour and cutting back on alot of things here in the household it works some how some way. Also that is what some have not understood that have been over around here totally. I have also got to thinking about that since I have been really streaching out everything here in the household some folks figured that I have the extra money around the place here when I do not. I guess that is why they have tried to barrow money and smokes off of myself and my Husband around here in the new place. So now that I have put my foot down on that part of things around here totally the mud started slinging to say the least my way. Well I am not totally mad over it at this point in time and realizing in that some need a better budget for their place instead of barrowing off of someone else totally. So now I keep reminding myself that some folks just do not care and others have just went off the deep end also and do not realize in what they do will hurt them the next month around their place. Ok so I pretty much stopped the cycle of the barrowing off of my household. I guess what makes me madder than ever is that the folks that have barrowed money off of us are getting medical and food stamps every month around their place and still want to barrow money. When their rent is 300 dollars a month and everything is included with the rent at their place except the phone, car payment, car insurance, and food there is something wrong with this picture totally. The complainers also get food stamps once a month in their place at 250 a month. It makes me wander in what they do with what is coming into their household during the month. Now at this point I have the budget of 200 dollars for everything in the household it includes food, cleaners, soaps, paper towles when needed, T.P., cat and dog food, litter, and bird food. Sometimes I am under it and sometimes I am over it with the budget that I have set up for the household here. I know folks that have food stamps coming in at 250 and above from the welfare program. Others have like a 500 dollar budget for everything that is needed in the household. I was amazed when they said that. If I had the 500 dollar budget for food and other things in the household I would not know in how to spend it at all. In what I do is that I try to keep stocked up as much as possible around here with what I have to work with in the budget. Now with that being said I do get alot of things on sale when I can and hit the off brand stores around the area to make it. It all works out in what I do for the place. So now I can say that my Husband does not care in how I do it all around here as long as I can get it done. The poor man knows that I work at my own pace around here and if I do not get something done then I do not get it done. Since I do try to get some things done while he is at work he is amazed that I am getting a bit stronger and will do what I can to make the household run while he is gone.
