Thanks to Sammi for our weekend prompt

Practicality depicts that we don’t replace anything until it either falls apart or is beyond economic repair. Clothes and shoes come in the first category, so unlike when I was working, you won’t see me in a different skirt and top every day. I haven’t worn a skirt since 2007, and own one frock which I bought for a wedding over two years ago and haven’t worn since. Hubby is good at fixing things and if it can’t be fixed, the good bits are stripped out and recycled somehow.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! We have an elderly dog called Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
Very practical. That’s how we should be. Treating the resources with respect.
We’ve become very good at cutting our cloth to suit our purse.
You’re!
I like your thinking. If only everyone didn’t have a disposable mentality.
We’re a throwaway society, after all, who is prepared to pay £15 plus parts to have a toaster repaired when you can buy a new one for less than £10? Hubby can fix most things with a three point plug, so we don;t throw something away unless it is totally useless!
Ha! Your husband is a keeper. My take on the prompt is the antithesis to yours.
I was told to keep him as he was useful! Best advice ever!!
Just read it. Hilarious!
This was so good! My husband was a master at fixing things, even while being a good purchase of other stuff..
I’m a wear-until-it-falls-off kinda gal myself.
I’m more into comfort than fashion anyway
Same here.
Thanks for the prompt. My mind has been out to lunch most of the time.

Thanks for the nod.
Dear Di,
I have clothes I still love and wear that are older than my kids. 😉 Love and agree with your 89 words.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Hi Rochelle! Thanks for commenting. I;m still wearing tee shirts from the market some 27 plus years ago, and they still look pretty good!
