It is a little time since I was last on here, I hadnt realised.  Anyway its been raining all day but thankfully for most of it I have been to work.

Frugal wise Im still collecting all the water from washing etc to flush the loo and also as EON have put my monthly payment up by £14 a month and Council tax is getting rid of the 25% single person and making it 15% instead, some serious savings (ha ha) have got to be made,  soooooo  this week I have read the meters (I do this every week actually,just to keep a record of how much leccie and gas Im using) and I am determined to lessen usuage, not that I use an awful lot as I dont have any appliances on standby anymore and switch off all lights etc if Im not using them, so this week Im going to go without the telly to see how much of a difference it makes and cut down on computer time to every other day, in all honesty Im not sure what I can cut down on, I dont shop for clothes etc (cant remember last time I bought anything new bar a pack of knickers back in April) Im living on £10 a week at the moment to save money and really to empty the freezer and pantry, but that cant last for all that much longer.  So not sure how I can get extra money, I have nothing to sell, no gold or items of clothing and taking on extra woek would be very very hard as Im getting on to near retirement and find the work I do sooooo tiring.  Oh well Im sure something will turn up onwards and upwards.

Tea tonight was fish in sauce, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies, no pudding as I havent made anything. I have three days off now so tomorrow I will have a look in the cupboards to see if I have a basis for a cottage pie, or meatless loaf and that should last me for a few days, its a good job I dont  mind the same food for a few days running.

On a lighter note I have been walking the daughters dog and really enjoying it, Im getting to know some old railway walks and its lovely to hear the birds and see all the lovely green about.  Well will go now I will be back in a couple of days and hopefully I will have come up with a couple of ideas by then.
