more of today

I took Sarah shopping. We got her a new mattress on sale. I also bought her a rug for her room. it's nice to play on a rug and not hardwood. I also got a cabinet for the Lego and books in the hallway. Thomas is putting that together now. We had so much in our shopping cart, I had to take 2 trips to the car.
Thomas and I had to go to his school to clean. The tuition is pretty low at his school. Parents are required to work 50 hours per year for the school. I couldn't do the hours last school year because of the move. But this year I have to try to fit it in. We worked 2 hours cleaning the art room, hallway and music room. So now I only owe them 48 hours. If I can not work, I have to pay for the time. I hope I can work half the hours, and pay half. It takes me so much time to drive there and back. I'm also paying for gas. It's hardly worth the effort. But it is good to be part of his school. And he is doing well there. I want to support it.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
