Shopping in 2021 Time to Change!
Shopping in 2021 Time to Change!
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.
Wednesday 11th November 2020 Poppy seeds.
Today is the day when we take the time to remmber 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 future 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.
https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals
https://www.gov.uk/types-of-school
Their is also pupil premium.

How will you be remembered?
How will you be remembered?
One of the things that I have have been personal thinking about over the past year is this question
How will I/you be remembered?
In main ways it is quite a vain question and Vanity is a sin.
Due to Covid 19 many people have been lost but have they have been forgotten? Have they die before their time? Have they achieved their dreams or did they die with these words on their lips "If only?"
When I think about death it is mix emotion sometimes I think about going into battle and knowing that even if I die I die with honour or for something that I believed in.
Some times I think about being on old women with my family and friends be my bedside, knowing that they are happy safe well and were loved.
But then I think about the meaningless deaths ones that come from the 3 Horsemen.
Then I think of death and how really death comes to us all it is just WHEN and HOW.
It scares me, but I can not live my life being afraid or DEATH.
But I do live my life thinking "IF ONLY."
But is not the same thing?
I thing of one more hug and one more kiss fir my children those words I love you xx xx
Yet I do think of the future and what I may or may not be remember for.
Then I thing of this poem.
Ozymandias

JACKSPRAT
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
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
AFTER
READING THIS RHYME AGAIN WOULD YOU NOT SAY THAT IT IS STILL RELEVANT
TODAY?
SO
WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING AT THE MOMENT TRY TO BE MORE FRUGAL AND TO STOP
“PANIC BUYING.”
HEALTHY START VOUCHERS

25TH MARCH 2020 DRINK MORE WATER
25TH
MARCH 2020
DRINK
MORE WATER
25TH
MARCH 2020
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!
I
HAVE INCLUDED SOME USEFUL LINKS BELOW.
REMEMBER
“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?”

"SHOPPING SMART"
14th
March 2020 “SHOPPING SMART!”
Before
anyone one goes out and starts buying any thing next week, maybe this
weekend is the time to look a “SHOPPING SMART.” Take some time
over the next 72 hours to clean your home and pull out everything
that you have in your kitchen and bathroom; even check the attic or
outbuildings.
How
may of use will find food and other sinlessly
supplies that we have forgotten about?
Also
take this time to have a “CLEAN UP AND CLEAR OUT.” so that you
know what it is that you really NEED.
Because
at the moment it is TIME that is going to effect everyone in the long
run and their are other things that I believe that people should be
doing other that “PANIC BUYING” items that they think that they
may need.
At
the moment no one really knows what is going to happen in the next
3sec. 3min, 3hours, 3days, 3weeks, 3months, or 3 years.
To
me 3 is the magic number. So proving you have three of everything
that you may NEED, then it is a start.
-
It is the time that it takes of most products that we need to last. (food, warmth, shelver)
-
It is the length of time that it can can for something do be achieved or completed.(food, warmth, shelver)
-
It is usually the amount of time someone may have to have suitable amount of, food, warmth and shelter.
-
It it probably about the amount that people have to be financial secure and get (food, warmth, shelver)
-
It is usually the length of time one can aim to stay healthy, even if they are only living on baked beans. (food, warmth, shelver)
It
is these 3 key things that everyone needs on a daily basis to stay
health in mind, body and spirit.
(food,
warmth, shelver)
So
take some time to sit down over the next 72 hours and see what it is
you need and then think of the needs of those around you.
Your
family
Your
Friends
Your
Work Colleges
Your
neighbours
Your
local Community
Your
Regional Community
Your
National Community
Your
Country.
Beacuse
if you can not provide these three essential
things
for you self first in order to stay fit and well (food,
warmth, shelver)
How
are you going to provide then to other people.
So
look at shopping smart because if we do not then what is to say the
Government will not start steeping in and doing that for us.
I
for one do not want that two happen, this should be a last resort.
That
way when you do your shopping you know that you only need to buy one
or up to three of something that you really need.
I
always look at this way “ONE MEANS NONE.”
