Mend and Make Do

For days on days now in our house we’ve thought of ways to save money. Perhaps the rule should be only to spend when we feel the scratching in our tummies! We thought about the sewing machine to mend and make do. This was value engineered when we found a pack of sewing needles too. We contemplated the lack of wine would make us healthier as well! The cheaper biscuits taste just fine but we’ll give these up, what the hell!! Walking on feet attached to legs is a novice yet tried and tested means of transport, who knew? It’s nice to live in sixties Britain in twenty twenty two! We’ll give the PS5 games a miss and now a hula hoop will do! What’s the point in V.R. Games when you climb and fall out of a tree for free? I never knew you could re-use tea bags… perhaps not though with Yorkshire Tea!
