Now that 2021is almost upon on up I am using this time to “SHOP SMART” and to look at the ways that I have shopped in the past and how I can change my shopping habits in 2021.

During 2020 everyone had to take this time to STOP and THINK! About a number of things that they do in their lives and now to change the way that live.

One of those ways was by SHOPPING SMART!

So for 2021 I am going to aim to continue to do this and will blog about it and share links on ways that way can all SHOP SMART.

Winter rising the gardening

  Winter rising the gardening

One of the thing that I still have not done yet this year is to winter rising garden and to plant my bulbs for next year. I always keep saying tomorrow and then it rains or the boys need me.

So my aim is to wineries the garden by 1st December this year and to make sure that I am ready for next year to start all over again.

 Wednesday 18th November 2020

I can not believe that we are drawing so close to the end of an other year and the one thing that I can think of is how lucky that I am to still be alive and to be able to watch my children grow each day.

The hardest job I have had to do is to not just take care of myslef because no one else will do that for you, but to take care of my family.

I have used this time to go back to the drawing board and to work on my future goals and who I can hopefully move forward in 2021 and how my children will also.

One of the main things that I have done is go back to basics and I have done this by taking the time to draw up a budget plan and to try and average out my incomings and outgoings over the last 6 months so that I can start planing for the future.

I will add a budget plan link to this blog, if I have not already added one.

  Wednesday 11th November 2020 Poppy seeds

Today is the day when we take the time to remember those we have lost.  So please remember to take the time to do so.

This year because of Covid19 we are not able to collect for the Poppy Appeal like we have in the past, one of the place that we use to collect was at the Coventry  train station, we hope to be able to do this again in 2021.

One thing that we do every year is plant poppies and collect the seeds, if anyone would like a packet of seeds with their order then please let us know.

Feeding the futre 2020

 https://savings4savvymums.co.uk/feeding-family-four-2-50-day/

Once again child poverty is on the the new and how parents are unable to feed their children and them selves.

With so many family services clothing and Covid 19 on the rise it is not like you can even knock a friends or familys door for something like a cup of suguar.

One thing that I belive need to be done is that people need to clearly know how much their income and exspences are so that they can cleary budget them selves.

With winter just around the corner more of use will be spending money on heating our homes and lighting, not just food and other key itmes or bills.

Many people today are also forced into the rental market and are paying more in rent than what you would for a morgage.

I am still a stong beliver that everyine with children under 5 should be given healthy start vouchers.

https://www.gov.uk/healthy-start

You can also look at applying for the Big Diffrent Schem.

https://bigdiff.co.uk/login.php

I also belive that any child of school age under the age of Seven should be given a free school meal, if the school is closed then that should still continue. I belive that every child can calim this up unil the end of Year 2 at school.

Thinking Time for Change Glass Etching

So many things have changed over the centuries including the way that we create products that would have required specialized skills and training.

One of those things is glass etching.

Today anyone can learn to etch glass and can do so with under and hour.  This is due to a product that you can buy on line call Glass Etching Cream (see link below.)


https://arthearty.com/glass-etching-cream

Yet how useful is the product and how easy and safe is it to use?

How will it effect the environment in the long run?

I have never used this product before and demonstration of how to use it can be found on you tube, along with the traditional way of how to etch glass.

Personal this was somethig that I was looking at buying when I first heard about this prosuct and could not wait to buy it.

One of the many reasons that I looked into buying it was the cost, time and my children.  I love still dining art and creating new things and upcycling.  At times I have even got my little ones involved when it come to things like paper, glue and none toxic paint.

But when it comes to using any thing else I believe that they are to young, so even getting out my dermal is something that I do not do around them.

So I thought why not try Etching Cream until I read the ingredeance and then I changed my mind.

I only really know what ingredients and the first thing that I though of was drain and over cleaner.  So I am not looking at using this product due to not beliving that it is safe to do so.

I am also worried about the long term damage that could happen to the environment by using it.  But without knowing much about it I do not know the answer to my own question.

I would love to find out more and would love some feed back.

The ingredients is

sulfuric acid
sodium bifluoride
barium sulfate
ammonium bifluoride

Thinking Time for Change Sort out for online accounts

Whilst you are at home why not look at sorting out your online accounts and make sure that every thing is up to dat.

Look at what accounts you have and maybe no longer use and therefore should unsubscribe from.

Look at the ones that my earn you money of if you offers that you have forgotten about.

Look at changing you details and making sure they are up to date.

Look at changing you passwords which is something that #i am to do at lest once per year.

Thinking Time for Change JACK SPRAT

28TH MARCH 2020

Jack Sprat Could Eat No Fat. Jack Sprat could eat no fat, His wife could eat no lean; And so betwixt them both, They lick'd the platter clean.

At its origins “Jack Sprat” was known as a proverb, and the term used to refers at short people in the 16th century.

“Jack Sprat” Lyrics

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean
Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat

DRINK MORE WATER

“IF ALL THE WORLD WAS PAPER AND ALL THE SEA WAS INK.”

“IF ALL THE TREES WERE BREAD AND CHEESE.”

“WHAT WOULD WE HAVE TO DRINK?”

"If All The World Were Paper ' is an old English folk song that dates back to at least the reign of Charles I. The song, with six verses, is printed in "Witt's Recreations" described as a book of 'ingenious conceites' and 'merrie medecines', published in 1641.

OVER THE NEXT COUPPLE OF MONTHS WHILST THE WHOLE WORD OS DEALING WITH THE CURRENT OUT BREAK. THE ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IS WATER.

ALREADY THIS YEAR WE HAD ISSUES WHERE WE WERE HAVING SO MUCH RAIN IN THE UK THAT IT WAS CAUSING FLOODING.

YET THE TABLES COULD TURN WITH IN DAYS DEPENDING UPON THE WEATHER AND THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE HAVE IN RESERVOIRS AND USAGE.

THE AVERAGE PERSON SHOULD DRINK AROUND 8 GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY. LIVING ON THE CANAL NETWORK WE WOULD USUALLY FILL UP THE WATER TANK ABOUT EVERY 2 WEEKS WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR ON BOARD.

SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE AND THINK ABOUT HOW WE COULD LOOK AT CUTTING BACK BUT STILL STAY HEALTHY.

WITH EVERYONE ALL MOST ALL OVER THE WORLD ON LOCK DOWN, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO POP TO YOUR LOCAL SHOP FOR TEA, COFFEE, MILK, JUICE OR SOMETHING ELSE.

SO IT WILL BE WATER THAT WE WILL ALL BE DRINKING (COUNCIL POP.)

MOST WILL DRINK STRAIGHT FROM THE TAPE, FILTERED OR BOILED.

SO PLEASE THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE EPICALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.

PLAN NOW!

Thinking Time for Change Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home

18^th March 2020

Time Management.  Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home

Over the next couple of weeks time management is going to be very import to everyone. How many time have you said to your self “their is never enough hours in the day.”?

Over the next few week that is how I belie many of use are going to start to feel not to mention very stressed out and tired, both mentally and physically.

All I can say is take each day, day by day and make sure that you try to eat well and sleep well.

Many people will be currently looking at changing there life style with looking at working from home and home school their children.

Many of us will not just be worry about out selves but family and friends to.

So what can we do?

The fist thing that I am aiming to do with my family is aim to stick to the same routine that I would have stuck to as much as possible with a few changes thrown in.

My aim is to still wake up at the same time every day, eat at the same time every day and sleep at he same time every day.

With my children at home full time and not able to go any where I know that this will be very challenging and stressful. I will aim to keep each day fun and interesting for them. At the same time I will aim to carry on with my own every day routine like cooking, cleaning, taking care of the baby and working on my book.

I will start by breaking the day down into units of 20 minuets and aiming to do 20 minuet tasks just like I would do at eh weekend.

20 minuets breakfast

20 minuets get dressed

20 minuets work

20 minuets rest

20 minuets play

20 minuets snack

20 minuets rest

20 minuets work

20 minuets play

20 minuets work

20 play

20 lunch

20 rest

20 minuets (you get the picture) I am only looking at 20 minuet blocks to start off with due to the change of having 3 children at home full time and confined to a small space will be challenging.

I know that my attention span and able to do any thing is about 20 minuets. To chive more than this it take time and practice epically for children.

Some time my children will be happy to engage in an activity for longer than 20 minutes like watching TV or playing with cars.

But they can not so that every day, I would like then to continue with their education and I will be

need to look at fun ways to achieve this whilst maintaining day to day living too.

So I will see what support and guidance is offered to support me before Friday and then start to plans my daily activates.
