I m spending Jar too much Ihcse days and who To to set my budget straight 1 thrown out the spring seed catalogues and have dug out my old hammer and screw driver sec 1 got carried away when the catalogues arrived and spent a fair bit on heeds seedlings pots and parapher nalia And in June when my mother flew out from Rock wood more and seedlings then set about planting them For the next while I was lie summer my wabhing afraid to touch anything in machine developed a horrible tht not knowing a noise while spinning and weed from a flower or figured something must be table loose the tubs So I Unfortunately the dogs took Ihe top off agitator didn tfecl the restraint out clips off the side of Hip our tight month old pup the inner top loosened the carefully dug up all the funny looking thing at dahlias Out of JO there an side look the inner lop off five left He must ha buried though as I finding plants in oddest Old Sue seems lo think the cool was worked especially for her to bed down in she gnttfully lowers her 110 pounds into the flower beds using different ones in turn to keep out of the sun Hip used the vegetable garden as his private racing track tearing round in huge circles and churning up the soil to an unbelievable degree A late frost help and neither did my lack of en for ceding Be tween one thing and another now have one snapdragon one nasturtium one tomato one poppy cabbages two rows of corn gretl of weeds Some where under them are four carrots turnips peas and hut I m not sure In the last of my infrequent weeding bouts Ipulltdupthe one and only parsnip and left in disgust If I m not going to ease the budget by gardening what CAN I do to trim household expenses Tints where the screwdriver comes in Up until last month whenever anything went on the blink I took it apart and waited for my husband or son to fix it they didn the hint Id start fixing it myself Within two minutes some body would at shoulder What are you trying to do electrocute yourself Blow us up burn us down Then I hand over screwdriver leave them to do it properly Last month j after Gord left for to work for Dublin WI imped by the thingnmee in the centre Seeing as it w as under war ranty and felt sure the machine was falling apart 1 phoned in To make the trip worthwhile I asked him to have look at the dryer as well It loo was new had never really worked properly but out this way very few things are sent batk for of having to wait another two or throe months for a Anyway the timed dial at the bottom was fine but the lop one which supposedly would leive my clothes with the proper degree of dampness didn All I got was bone dry or soaking wet I got home that night to find washing m fixed but still in pieces and sitting on it is one bobby pin fished out from between the tubs with a dinger the re- coll kin t the thing off either Regarding the dryer thert was only a word of advice don leave the clothes in so long I guess what I need to go ilong with my screwdriver is a dollop of eommon If I been quite so be dazzled by all the shine I could have done ill thai myself Now I have the unenviable task of to a bill for 36 to bobby pin from the washing hint
