As I sit here

Well I am sitting here and wandering still.  The household is fairly clean to say the least and I still have to pick up somethings around here.  That does not change at all here and now.  So at this point in time here everything that got done yesterday was on the cheap side of things and that is how I will continue to do alot of it here from now on.  And yes it drives some folks up the wall to say the least on what I will do for the household at this point still.  Since I have got back from Illinois here I have not called some people at all to let them know that I am in again.  With that said here it means that I do not have to say no to some people on barrowing money off of myself and my Husband at this time also.  I do know it is hard to live on a fixed income period and that is when you have a budget set in stone around the place when that happends.  With some folks they do not get that when they barrow money off of me here it puts me short on the month if not longer around here when they do not pay us back at all.  I guess this is why I have started with the coupons yet again so I could get groceries at the time before I was telling them no around the trailer and here at the house also.  The one couple knew I was paying 2 sets of bills around here last year and they asked if they could barrow 100 dollars at the 6 month marker also, I told them no and they also knew why without me saying anything.  After that I knew that they still did not have a true budget in place that was harder than hard to live within their means.  Also the one couple that I have not called as of yet are getting food stamps also for their place and still can not budget those out at all.  So I pretty much gave up with the one couple when the wife was telling me she refused to give up on using alot of the paper towels and paper plates still.  All I can do is shake my head on that part and walk away from that part of things.  With that part I guess this is why I do not mind the dishes that much around my household since things need to be washed anyway either way that I go.  So now with that I use very little of the dish deturgent around here totally to save money in that area.  With that said you do not need a whole lot of it to get the dishes clean also.  I look at it like this if the water is hot enough then you have a better chance of getting cleaner dishes.
