So its been a rainy and blustery day in Lancashire today, the weather has really set in now and winter seems to be in full swing. A quick visit to Aldis this morning was needed For some flowers, this is the best place i have found to buy them from, two big bunches comes in at £2 each more than enough for
the crematorium and my purse strings, similar bunches at Tesco are at least£3.50 each, so a good £3 saving there.
A visit was due as it was the first passing of my Nan in Law's anniversary I must admit i thought the crem was very untidy, the fallen leaves were piled up, wind blowen flowers and the chilly air made the place feel very dark and miserable but few bunches of bright yellow flowers soon cheered up Mary's spot, a quick sweep up and a tidy around soon made everything look better.
It was back to work this afternoon for me and the OH, and as i am writing this at my work desk all i can think about is getting home and getting warm, boy its cold today, we are still trying to cut back by not having our central heating blasting out all hours of the day, so it will be an hour of the electric heater that hardly uses any electric and plenty of home made blankets to keep us warm and toasty. Our gas oven is still on the blink and after weeks of making do and using the grill and hobs have resorted to thinking about buying a new one. Cheapest we can find brand new with delivery at the moment comes in at £200, money that we really could do without spending as the annual car tax is due, Christmas is round the corner and our Home insurance is ready for renewal.Do you always shop around when it comes to renewing your insurance policies? we saved £70 last year from searching the internet, now that's money well saved! We pay for a whole years car tax as it saves us money in the long run, its just not appreciated at this time of the year.. that's another £170 odd pounds we need to find, i wish we had a money tree lol
Well thats it from me today folks, see you soon.
