Wandering
Well I am wandering in how low I can take the household around here. I am not to much worried about some hollering at me that I have went totally to cheap/frugal for the household at all at this point in time. This is what has got to alot of folks that have known me. With some I have realized that I did make the right choice on throwing them out since somethings have went back to normal around the trailer and here in the household in the past 4 1/2 months also. Now with the power meter installed on the house here I will be cutting the power down totally around the house. The space heaters have went and now I have to get them down stairs and out of the way. With that said the T.V., computer, and other things will be unplugged during the day around here. The dryer what is that for most of the laundry around here except to defur some things here in the household. With the washer since I have a high efficient one it is about 14 dollars a year to run it for the place of course give and take on it. Yes I do save money all the way around with that part of the housework here. With alot of things some folks do not realize in what I have been doing around here to cut everything down for the household. I have been using less of cleaners and other things in the household. I will admit it took some time to do that part of the place. With others in the household here noticed in what I was trying to do and it was working some did not say much at all. Now that I am done takeing in stray people into my household I would rather be alone to say the truth since nobody wants to listen to what I have to say. I have been marked as stupid for what I have done and keep doing to cut the costs in the household around either place. I can laugh at some since they are always complaining of how I do things around my place. With alot of things being cut out of the household here my Husband and myself do not mind one bit that it is not here anymore. Since we had paper plates in the household and never really used them at all, they were used up and I never got anymore for the trailer. Also for to cut down on the paper towles around the place I had to wait for the dish rags to get ratty and hand towles also to start cleaning with them around the household. Now one of the tricks that I have found out by accident is with the swifter mops. To do the light cleaning of the floor during the week put a thin hand towel or a dish rag spray the floor with your favorite cleaner then run the swifter mop with the rag over it and clean spots where you need it for touch ups on the floor. Yes I have learned things along the way that work in the hotels and for the household around here over the years. With the prices going up everywhere around us here it does pay to start cutting back, starting out slow around the household. When I really had to make things work I only had 20 dollars a month for food and other things in the trailer. Now with the house it is a bit greater with the totals at this point in time of course. I still watch in what I do for the house still to this day. That is why I was trying to teach my Niece in what to do when you are totally broke and still need food and other things for the place. Since the stupid botton as I call it was out on my forehead around the trailer the girl is not learning what I was talking about with her boyfriend. The girls boyfriend is worse than what I was in the trailer. I will say this now I am happier without the girl in my household since everything has went down in costs. That is including my grocery bill totally while I am at it all. I did not think that my one Niece was totally ungreatfull for what I have done for her around my place. Apparently she was and still is since she never asked ok do ya need something for dinner in the fridge or anything else like cleaning for the household. It all came to light after I threw her toush out of the trailer. So did other things that were missing. So now I can say the choice that I made with 2 things were right on. Also the place is still being cheaper without the the girl her boyfriend and their friend moving in around my place. Maybe I read way to much into it and I highly doubt that part. I pretty much noticed alot of things when I said no. Now I know that I am on track for the household around here for being on the cheap side of everything. Also I have learned over the years that I am not anyone elses maid at all except for my Husbands here at this point in time.
