I had the greatest time re-directing his hand as he reached for name brand items that were available in store brands that are just as good. (He's a good sport) And also stocking up on bulk sale items suddenly made sense now that our income is reduced.<br />I have also already scouted next week's flyer for savings. Hmm, somehow I think he is looking forward to relinquishing his title and will head to the lake to gather 'free' fish to go with my bargain food finds.<br />I have been very appreciative of him doing the shopping since his retirement but am looking forward to getting back in the swing of things.<br />Well, seems I have written a novel. Can you tell I am sooo delighted to be a happy homemaker once again?Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922307680021666290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-47429325521524753332016-02-24T03:21:08.558+10:002016-02-24T03:21:08.558+10:00Wow!

I realize there are currency differences, but I believe I could just about purchase a new lounge for $650 US, so I can't imagine anyone asking that fee for cleaning one. Bravo for doing it yourself!<br />I made two batches of soap over the weekend and cooked for a church event despite the fact that the new flooring was going down in the kitchen as I worked. The house is a mess but at least we have clean laundry and something to eat!<br />Blessings, LeighAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-23477777009214312102016-02-22T19:29:12.693+10:002016-02-22T19:29:12.693+10:00Mimi, you and Annabel are my role models.

But each time I find out the actual going rate of something I nearly have kittens! <br />Currently I am sanding, puttying, painting, cleaning and filling cracks in plaster. Goodness knows what it would cost to have a professional in! Would probably faint if I knew.<br />It is only the beginning of the week but today I was given a whole car load of good strong wicker baskets, tins and crystal containers for candles! Now I am plotting that to turn all this into! The baskets I think will become french provincial style baskets with blackboard labels.... anyway it is awesome!<br />Lovely produce in your photo! Have a beautiful week!

Those are the fruits that I miss since I no longer live in a more tropical climate where they grew in abundance. I love how you live a beautiful life with not a lot of money but with an abundance of creativity!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.com
