Good evening all!!

I agree, it is extremely important for us to conserve all of our resources (including our money) in these trying times.

I bought "Mighty Putty" today to fix my sprayer at the kitchen sink, rather than buying a new one. That is my biggest "frugal" for today. So far it is holding.

I got the other 3 strips sewn for the afghan I am making. Because part of it is black, it is difficult to see to do it properly in the evening.

I think I got a handle on how much to be putting away for the lawn mowing for next year. I am cutting back on putting the full amount he asked for each week, to a little less than 1/2 of that. I am putting the remainder in my savings account each week. I am not giving myself an additional to use each week, just re-appropriating it. Then next year instead of the full amount coming out of my check each week, I will just add a certain amount to my money here. The deed gets done, and more in savings for me overall.

Well ladies, better go for this evening.

Take care all!! Norma
