Hi ladies.
Didn't get to post on the daily yesterday. It seemed liked my day was really full of just stuff, ya know. I am diligently working on getting our grocery bill down. In fact, Sunday afternoon, Steve and I watched youtube videos of the America's Cheapest Family series. That was actually kinda fun. Found a tip we knew of but hadn't been applying to save on water. Oh, I also found the really good organizational printouts from organizedhome. I love these. I am going to put them all in a three ringed binder and start that way. Next month will be my first month to give menu planning a go, as my menu planning usually consists of "Hey, what do you want for supper tonight?" I have already come of with some areas to cut that we won't even notice. I have also started trying to cook ahead a bit. Yesterday in between all the other daily goings-ons, I cooked up 102 pancakes and froze them. That should be 3 meals out of the way. Wish I could put away 3 extra meals everyday. Wouldn't take long to get ahead and stay ahead that way.
On the agenda for today is to finish school, laundry, ironing and a bit of tidying. My bigger washer is not working right now and it isn't something we can fix. It is under warranty and we are waiting for them to call us back to set up a service call. It always takes two though. One to diagnose the problem and another to fix it. I am really trying to keep up with the one that works and praying it doesn't decide to go out at the same time. That would be frightful!
Catherine, does Max like Wallace and Grommitt as well? Mine all love that. They have season 1 of Shaun and like that too.
Janice, I am so jealous of you and your "cleaning mama".
Cheryl, glad you are getting your new clothesline. And you are right, it is the little things!
