Today I’m mainly thinking about saving money and I’ve already managed to say some myself by changing my phone tariff.
My living room faces is North northwest and it’s very cold right now
I have got severe osteo arthritis I have also got rheumatoid arthritis so I can’t move about a lot
I hate it when the air changes to autumn coldness It’s essential to wear socks or stockings. When the weather is really cold wool is the best thing.
And you need to wear at least one more layer of clothing. Even when it’s not a problem to pay for heating it just seemed wasteful to have it on in September in some rooms but sometimes that has to happen and if you’re short of money what else can you do?
Sometimes lightweight fine merino wool sweaters are good
Covering up your neck and throat is very important especially when you go outside in cold weather. If that area of your body gets cold you are more likely to have a heart attack especially if you already have angina.
Inside the house it also helps. Maybe a lightweight scarf for something around your throat makes a big difference
Now many people wear fleece instead of wool
It’s hard to find pure wool sweaters in places that used to sell them very frequently like marks and Spencers.
And the cost is very high
If you are going to visit somebody their house may be very hot so you have to think about these things nowadays
Cardigans or fleece jackets are good. Partly because you can take them off without causing offense to anybody
It’s what women going to the menopause learn that is wearing fine layer is better than one very thick layer because you can’t take that off easily and you may very well cause some surprise if you’ve got nothing underneath it or if you’re wearing a zebra striped bra which is a little bit too small for you but you like is anyway
That brings us onto underwear. It’s difficult to find woolen underwear but there is thermal underwear which ones you he ave bought it should last for quite a while
But should you waste your money on zebra striped bras or something else leopard skin print knickers question mark well that very much depends on your lifestyle
If you have a partner who is turned on by you wearing that sort of underwear then maybe you should buy it but if not whatever your fantasies are do you actually need to actually wear it in reality rather than just fantasizing about it?
That’s a difficult question to answer.
But it might be more economical just to wear beige or black underwear especially maybe more sensible if you’re likely to have to whip your clothes off with a hot flush or a panic attack.
I once went to college wearing some red corduro trousers and the zip broke while I was giving a lecture on some boring mathematical topic like pascals triangle
And I was wearing white underwear which is not the best sort but my lecture was so interesting that the students’ eyes remain on my face and nobody looks at anything else.
We had some very nice students
If you want to wear zebra striped trousers I would recommend wearing zebra strikes underwear as well or making sure the trousers have elastic waist and not a zip
I’m not sure if you can save money by wearing the zebra striped trousers it depends where you can buy them from. If you have a market that sells them for ten pounds each then that probably is quite cheap although there won’t be very warm but then you could afford to have two pairs of them
This is one of the secrets of warmth.. wearing more than one of the garment
Or it will make more sense to wear some cheap black leggings underneath your trousers.
If you don’t plan to give a lecture on Pascal triangle then I think you will be ok wearing any kind of trousers
Since then I have an aversion to red trousers. And I forgotten what a triangle is not to mention the ellipse and the parabola and the other beautiful geometric forms that we used to study
But my students did very well they were very hard-working kind people
So in other words use your imagination
It’s worth spending money on certain things like wool
Making me our own jumpers is not economical. Wool is very expensive and also unless you like knitting with very fine wool you’re going to produce sweaters which most people find too hot when they have Central Heating. But if you don’t have it knit one for yourself and it will last you for a long time
Knitting is an activity which can bring about peace of mind similar to what you get when you do meditation and you also get a product
I believe it’s caused by the rhythmic movements and the rhythm of the pattern itself for example Shetland layers might be a pattern of horseshoes on the sound and I have done that and I it’s it’s a wonderful thing to do.
So you can combine benefits from knitting meditation and producing something beautiful as long as you are that you or someone else will actually wear it or that you can sell it because all I’m writing about today is saving money reall whether it’s short term or long term
If you have a friend who lives near you you could save a bit of money by having them to lunch once a week and then the following week the reverse because it will save money on heating and also it might so a little bit on cooking
What’s a pity we can’t live on grass and leaves but there we are m
