I don't sew much anymore, last week made two new pillowcases for someone and a small curtain for a bathroom window.<br />When I get my bills for anything, gas or electric etc, I turn it over and up in the right hand corner is the date when the meter will be read next time, so I mark it on my calendar, that way I always know when the next bill is coming, usually two/three days after the meter is read. My internet is monthly and always on the same date, so don't have to worry about when.<br />Quarterly bills mean every thirteen weeks, so maybe you can count ahead on your calendar and mark the thirteenth week and know a bill is coming in that week. Always good to know when a bill is due. I use the thirteen week rule to work out how much to put aside each week, divide the amount due by 13, then put that amount away each week and when the bill comes, take that envelope and pay it.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-10381491073569072712017-01-12T19:37:23.696-08:002017-01-12T19:37:23.696-08:00Patterns for anything have gotten way expensive.

Home Economics was also my nightmare in high school, mostly because the teacher was a bully. She screamed at us girls and made nasty remarks about our weight, our (bitten) fingernails, our cupcakes, our attempts at making a dress. She was a horror. Even so, I like to cook. Sewing, I'm not so crazy about. I tolerate sew ing (1) when the machine behaves, and (2) when the project is SIMPLE. I mostly repair seams and do hems. <br /><br />So sorry about your taillight. If it isn't one thing, it's another. Sounds like you get a lot of satisfaction from finding fabrics and making something beautiful and useful.Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-30365314304726053162017-01-12T04:49:55.488-08:002017-01-12T04:49:55.488-08:00I envy someone who can sew.

Conservative voting and conservative people do wonderful things in community and are very generous with time and fund raising, and at times they are not judgemental. Perhaps that is what true Christina values are about.<br /><br />Of course, we have to remember the song, Harper Valley PTA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-12008278197006583502017-01-12T00:18:02.419-08:002017-01-12T00:18:02.419-08:00It always seams like all the bills come at once ...It always seams like all the bills come at once Today I had to take my dog to the vet.
