Usually January drags on and on, especially when we are back so early after Christmas break. However with the mild weather and longer daylight hours, it hasn't seemed to be as long as in other years. [ Although some days were very, very long ] We had our PD day on Friday and it was as expected, but 'hey ho' we got paid to sit there and listen.
I finished the poncho for the doll, made some leg warmers and a pair of mitts !! Hubby laughed at the tiny mitts ! Later on today I am going to try a pair of socks ! LOL But now I must get started on the names for the stockings. Those teeny tiny socks will be my reward after doing some names ! Today I also did our medical receipts for our prescriptions. Our bank account will be healthier.
This month I am going to try and track all our expenses. Hubby needs to see exactly what we spend, and how that will work with our pensions. He's forever picking up fruit as a treat - and let's face it no fruit is in session especially grapes and raspberries ! He also loves to wander around hardware stores and if there is a bargain......or he might need it...... This has to stop.
Last night I made pounded pork, thin sliced pork tenderloin pounded thin, breaded with dry, finely ground bread crumbs, oregano, garlic and parmesan cheese. They were delicious. Today we'll have roast beef which we haven't had for ages. I'll serve beets, turnip and roast potatoes. Leftovers for tomorrow night.
I am hearing more and more people talk about gardening brought on by the cost of fresh vegetables especially. I mean $4 for a head of celery ! There are more and more articles in the newspapers and on line talking about how to change one's eating habits. There is nothing in them that I haven't done forever. All just seems common sense to me !
YGS started to read this week - in English ! The light went on and he was so excited !
