Wandering now

Well I am wandering when I am suppose to clean this week.  The long drive just shoots the afternoon totally around here.  I think I have a system down at this point and may as well keep it around here.  Since the bathtub is working again I can clean that finally around here.  I have been slacking on that part since the tub was not draining right at all for the place.  So after a bottle of drain cleaner it finally works and now I miss my foot soak (laughing).  It is not that bad around here it is the small things that need to be taken care of and that is with any household.  Well it is a cheap fix and it works for the place just like under 10 dollars to fix the kitchen sink also.  There are ways that you can save money by doing it yourself for fixing things and there are books out there along with the net to show you how to do things also.  So it is not that bad for to do it yourself it is cheaper also when you can do it yourself.  Just like I do not have a maid around the household at all except for me.  That is how it works with most of us around the area to say the least.  I have to laugh when some say they have a maid and the maid does hardly anything in the place.  It is one of them things I guess that alot of maids slack off.  Oh well as I say if you want it done right do it yourself.  At least there are ways of doing things cheaper than normal around any household that I know of.  The funny thing I think is for any bathroom is to have something like Ajax or Comet one for the bottom of the tub.  Another thing is a bottle of bleach also.  This way you have a back up for the dishes and other cleaners for the household.  I know with alot of the cleaners you can get for a dollar.  Some of us have to watch in what we use because we have birds.  So now I will say that in what I do around here pays off also.  I use less of things around here only becuase I know that I want and have to streach the dollars out around here totally.  Then again I do streach out everything around here.  With coupons and picking up nickles out of the parking lots I do fairly well for the household here.  Also if your store offers a card to shop ther take it.  The store will track the sale anyway so what the hey may as well use the cards for discounts at the store.  With what I can do in a year over at the one grocery store and Kmart I make out like a tight wad that I am.  Also there are 10 points in every coupon that you take over at Tops for so much off of gas around here also.  One of the perks of having the card for the store around here.  I will say that some of us need gas for what we drive around here.  Either way it is well worth the trip into the store that way.  Just like when I get 8 bags of flour around here there are alot of things you can do with the flour.  It is a cheap way of making food for the household instead of getting the pre mix packaged stuff.
