Thrifty and Frugal
I just can not believe how quickly this month is passing by. Days whiz past and I am not really sure what if anything I have accomplished that is frugal and thrifty.
Here are a few things other than the usual ones that have become second nature to us.
1. Turned up the air conditioning a couple of degrees, for some reason it was feeling very cold in here a few days ago.
2. Managing to get a few no spend days in to finish off the month. I hope to add a few more before the end.
3. Cleaned and tidied the fridge freezer baskets and made an inventory. So far I am actually using the inventory and now that I can see all that is in there I am sure I will be able to save even more on the grocery bill by using things up.
4. Used more of the 4" fabric squares from clothing and leftover fabric to make some bookmarks for Christmas gifts.
5. Made some hot pepper jelly. Some will be for us and jars will also go into the Christmas baskets for Kurt and Kris.
6. Got the first of the wipe off boards ready for the inventory of the meat freezer.
So that is all I can really think of right now. My arm seems a bit better today, but yesterday was not good. I think I have to learn to rest it a bit more often and be slightly more careful of how I move it, and what I try to do with it. So happy that my doctor's appointment is at the beginning of next week
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
I hope your doctor appointment goes well and you can get some relief for your arm. Resting it is best, but that can be hard to do when we have work to do in our homes. I love it when we can turn the ac down some, saves on money too.
ReplyDeleteGreat week - using what we have is so smart. Helps with the funds.
ReplyDeleteTake care and feel better quickly. Don't over do it.
Sounds good to me Jackie! Every little bit helps.
ReplyDeleteYour arm sounds like my sciatica. I want to take advantage of when I am not feeling it but then suffer the next day. I do think (sssh) that perhaps the grounding sheet has started to work, as I've had 2 good days in a row.
I do hope your arm heals soon. I'm sure it must be frustrating when you're busy and have to slow down.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased your arm is starting to feel better, these mishaps seem to take longer to recover from when we are getting older, I notice.
ReplyDeleteI hope your arm is on the mend but you have to be careful not to overdo. The RC put our a/c unit away three weeks ago wondering if he'd regret it. So far not.
