Shaking my head
As I sit here I am shaking my head yet again. I will get my walk in today after I clean some of the house after the doctors visit. Pluss my goal today is to fill out at least 2 apps while I am out and about here. Since some things are tight around here at the house it is ok also here. I have came to terms with it as of lastnight here and I will start looking at the things that need to be cut around here totally today. With that said here I will pull one of the turkeys out of the one freezer here today so I can cook it up for this weekend also. One of the nice things that has been done around here is that when I could stock up on food and other things I have done it for the place weather if it was over at the trailer or here at the house. This is why I have not worried about some things around the house except for the bills here. With alot of the things that have went on here and the stress that comes with it also has took a toll on me. I have learned that I have to calm down and think about it all here. This is why also I started thinking on cooking even cheaper around the household while I have been at it all. There are still alot of things that I can do for the place at this time that others do not see that I can do. When I can look around here and see what needs to be cut and what I can deal without here it makes it easier to start cutting more out of the budget. I know that it makes alot of folks mad that come over to the house here to see what I am doing and how I am doing things for the household. So yes I have cut out down on alot of the things that are used here in the household. Like when I am cleaning here for the household I do use rags instead of paper towles. This is why a 6 or higher pack of paper towles lasts over 3 pluss months around here in my place. Some folks that I know will use paper towles and paper plates at their place like they are going out of style. With myself I started out with useing alot of paper towles and paper plates at first. I cut out the paper plates totally when I was at the trailer and still do not use them at all. Since I have to wash dishes anyway here I may as well break out the glass dishes. The paper towles while I was at the trailer I had to think on totally. I started looking and bounced the idea of useing rags to my Husband at the time I was thinking of it. All he could say was try it out and see what happends while you're cleaning. It worked well with the rags and I have kept doing things with the rags while I was at it all. It also drives me nuts when some come over and figure that it is ok to use paper towles around my place like they are going out of style also. That and they figure that instead of useing the hand towles that are out mean nothing also and they would rather use paper towles to dry their hands off. With that said I am at about 300 dollars if not more on the cut there with that part of the paper towles. Even more on the paper plates around either place also. Also some can not figure out of why I do things like hang laundry while I am at it all. And yes I will be saving the nickles here for another couple of drying racks for the household for when I have to hang towles up in the basement. Another thing that I have been doing is getting the thermal back curtins for the house afew at a time here. They have helped on keeping things warmer in the winter and cooler on the warmer days here in the household. I need about 3 more around here for the main floor and I will be done on that part of things here. I also keep 2 doors closed here on the main floor to save face also and I have been known to crack the door going up stairs also. Also I have kept the curtins closed at all times during the winter months after I got them up here in the household. This is why the gas bill is lower around the household also. With the power bill I also cut off things here in the household along with hanging laundry here while I am at it all. The last time I called the power company they asked in what I was doing to cut the bill down for the household and I told them in what I was doing also. And this is why I was asking for the peak and off peak hours in a form here. This way I can curb some things here and be done with it all. That and when and if I use the dryer here at the house. At the trailer there is something wrong with the power there totally. With nothing running the bill was still about 48 dollars there. This is what gets to me is that the bill here at the house was about 65 dollars for all that has been running. Even a friend that comes over to get her laundry done here was amazed in how low the bill was here. I guess that I am doing things right around the household either way here weather I like it or not here. So now to think of other ways to cut down here and be done with it all here at the household and go from there. At this point in time here I am doing what I can still to save money at all costs here and nobody can make me waver from that part of things at all. I am still going with things that I have done at the trailer to the house here and I am always trying new things that may work for the household here. Not everything will work for every household and I know this totally. When some folks say that somethings are needed when it is a want in their place I think on it for my place here. So now I am still figureing alot of things out around here and that is ok at this point in time. I refuse to do everything at one time here and this is why I am doing alot of it slowly for the household.
