Saving on shopping

2009-05-17T21:09:00.000+02:00

HOW DO I SAVE ON MY MONTHLY SHOPPING

Here are a few easy steps how you can budget better every month on shopping for your family.

I had a family of 5 and it was not easy doing shopping every month and feeding the family on a little salary.

Here are a few tips:
1) Make a list of dishes your family likes
2) Look for more healthy dishes and recipes, I did a two week recipes
3) Calculate your meat portions for a month. When you purchase these meat defied it up into meals.
4) Make a shopping list of everything you will need and go to three different shops and write down which shop is cheaper on tin food, soaps ect.
5) I did that one month and never again. But I knew that the prices of my groceries. And I knew who gives me a great deal and who not
6) Keep 4 envelopes for your weekly wet groceries. Only take the money out on a Monday to buy your daily milk, bread and veggies.

Het jy al ooit in jou lewe gevoel wanneer dinge vir jou sense maak dan kom iemand en druk 'n stokkie in jou wiel en dan val jy van jou fietsie af en huil jou oe uit. Ek hoop die persoon wat die stok vas gehou het die intelligensie het om tussen die lyne te kan lees wat ek gaan skryf.

Ek was soos die Israeliete wat geswerf het in die woestyn vir 40 jaar en ek het baie versoekings gehad. Ek het afvallig geraak maar dan het ek my oe weer gefokus en in januarie het ek na 'n wonderlike kerk toe gegaan wat vir my so sense gemaak het. Alles was duidelik. Ek het 'n groot liefde ontwikkel vir die mens en die familie verband van die kerk. Die water van die fontein was soet soos stroop. Maar nou is dit tyd om my goed weer te pak en te gaan soek vir 'n ander put. Onthou dat elke aksie in jou lewe 'n reaksie het. Danksy mense wat dink hulle is slim hou mense wat die Here wou ken weg te hou van Hom.

Dink voor jy weer iets doen. Vind eers uit die agtergrond van daardie persoon voor jy weer 'n stok optel en in iemand se wiel sit.

Haal eers die balk uit jou eie oog voor jy die splinter uit jou broer se oog haal.

O Shit

2008-09-17T20:10:00.003+02:00

While I was studying for my degree I decided to do a third language as one of my subjects. I was very excited learning Xhosa. The tapes arrived after a month and every night I would be the faithfull student and practice my wording. All the X sounds.

Well my one college Blayi taught me a few swear words. I thought this was fun to hear me saying all these words. As you know people can sometimes be really nasty when you think you greating someone you actually telling them something totally different what you mean. So that was the reason why I asked him to teach me some words.

This Saturday I was working in the charge office in Hermanus. Two Xhosa youngster of about 20 asked my advice on a matter. I gave them my best advice and explained to them in detail what their options was. They were so impress.

So I thought that I will greet them in Xhosa and told them "Humba Ghagle" which actualy means go shit.

I remembered that that was the wrong one and try to rectify my mistake but two late. There eyes was big and then they burst out in laughter. I was so embarrest about my mistake. I send the tapes back and never tried Xhosa again.

We went out on a Thursday night to a pub in Sandton girl. All the women just looked like they came from mars. Well I am not from Sandton but come from a town called Hermanus. Hermanus is Gods paradise when it comes to beauty. The water is soft on your skin. Moving to Gautang I really had problems with my skin. Moisterising every day. It helped a bit. But still I was not satisfy with the products. To come back to Sandton pub I met a wonder lady really a goddess. Portagese lady. Age 66, but her skin glow. I had to get her secret. At first she laughed at me when I told her I could not believe her age. So after we spoke for an hour she gave me her beauty secret.

I was shocked and I want all the ladies to try this. Girls here it is.

MELK SERSANT

2008-09-05T23:31:00.002+02:00

Sersant Victor van D.F. Malan het my hierdie storie vertel in 1991 op n nagskof. Sy pa was ook in polisie. Ek het altyd sy geselskap geniet en die nagte was altyd kort wanneer ek saam met hom gewerk het. Hy het altyd ‘n storie of twee gehad om te vertel. Sy vader het op ‘n klein dorpie in die karoo gewerk en die plasie sit ver van mekaar af. Jy ry kilometers net om by die klagte uit te kom. So kry Adjudant Victor en twee konstabels ‘n klagte by ‘n plaas in die verre vlaktes die nag. Die drie kom by die woning aan en die gawe tannie nooi die polisiemanne in vir ‘n koppie koffie. Hulle sit in die voorhuis(sitkamer). Die ou tannie is kombuis toe om die koffie te maak. Van waar Adjudant Victor gesit het, kon hy in die spieel gesien het hoe die tannie die koffie maak. Tot sy verbasing haal die tannie haar pram uit en vul die melkbekertjie met vars moedersmelk. “Adjudant wil u melk he?” “Nee, dankie mevrou.” “Konstabel, melk vir jou?” “Dankie tannie, dit sal lekker wees.” Na hulle die vrou se klagte aangehoor het, het hulle gegroet en was weer oppad terug dorp toe. Oppad het die Adjudant vir die twee konstabels vertel van die melk. Het hulle nie katte geskiet.

JY MOET LEKKER SLAAP

2008-09-05T22:17:00.002+02:00

Nagskofte raak altyd lank as jy 12 ure werk. Ek het myself altyd besig gehou deur patrollies te ry en dan natuurlik na middag vang ‘n mens ‘n slapie net om weer vars te wees vir die res van die werk.

Die een spesifieke nag werk twee senior beamptes. Die een inspekteer het ‘n goeie ideegehad waar die ander een se slaap plek was. So he thy gewag tot dit tyd was om hom skrik te maak.

Hy het saggies met die voertuig in die paatjie afgekom en gestop in die middel van die pad. In die maanlig kon jy die ander polisie voertuig sien. Hy het uitgeklim en saggies die voertuig bekruip. Hy he teen van die groot klappers gehad met ‘n vuurhoutjie boksie.

Hy het homself agter die voertuig geplaas. Hy trek toe die klapper en probeer dit langs die deur van die voertuig gooi, maar die vervlakste ding rol toe reg onder die voertuig in. Die volgende oomblik gaan die klapper af met ‘n slag. Dit klink soos ‘n kanon skoot. Die voertuig beweeg soos ‘n skip in rowwe see heen en weer.

Die senior beampte spring uit met sy spot light en lig die bos in. Die kant toe en dan daardie kant toe. Maar niks kan hy sien nie. Hy kyk toe na die ruit en lig langs die deur en tel klippe op en begin ruik daaraan. Nog heel die kak geskrik.

Die ander senior maak sy verskyning en om nie skuldig te wees nie gooi die ander beampte dat hy die ruit gebreek het. Ja, ja, lekker geslaap ne. Jy moet wakker wees ou maat die boewe sal jou weg dra.

OEPS!MY HANDSAK

2008-09-05T22:16:00.003+02:00

Ek was gestasioneer in Stanford in die vroee neentigs. Daardie tyd was dames nie toegelaat om velddrag te gedra het soos vandag nie. Vuurwapens is in die handsak gedra gewees.

So werk ek die assistant konstabel die vrydag middag buite. Die sersant het straf gekry oor iets en moes binne werk. So stuur hy vir ons toe na die bottelstoor vir ‘n klagte. So arriveer ons by die bottelstoor. Die eerste ding wat ek sien is twee kalante wat baie oproerig is. Die bottelstoor het oorkant die ketting winkel gesit.

Ek gee toe opdrag dat die assistant die een man arresteer en ek die een met die rooi jas. Ek loop na die een met die rooi jas. Ek gryp hom aan die skouer en hy snou my ‘n paar vloekwoorde toe. Ek gryp hom toe stywer vas en hy ruk los. Instunktief gooi ek my handsak soos ‘n slinger vel en tref hom teen die kop. Hy val neer soos ‘n vrot vel en skud sy kop heen en weer. Oeps! Die gun is in my handsak.

Hy was nugter na daardie hou. Hy spring op en hardloop toe weg. Ek het groot geskrik.

KAKKERLAK BRIGADE

2008-09-05T22:15:00.003+02:00

Hierdie storie word opgedra aan Mev. Gouws. Altyd daar gewees vir almal. Dankie tannie vir jou glimlag.

So sit ons almal op ‘n stasie vergadering. Al wat leef en beef is daar. So word klagtes tussen die verskillende departemente bespreek. Hier kom een van die bevelvoerders uit met dat daar kakkelakke in die voertuie is. Ja, hak een van speurders af. Hulle het een die golf gesien.

Die een bevelvoerder vertel die vergadering hoe hulle gestaan het by die garage en toe kom die kakkelak ewe verby geloop op die dash. Die tannie by die logistieke afdeling vervies haarself vir die storie en se dat dit belaglik is. Sy en die bevelvoerder raak in ‘n ewige argument betrokke. Die bevelvoerder se dat hulle die voertuig gedoom fogger het en dat dit niks gehelp het nie. Die dame reel toe vir ‘n gif maatskappy en die twee kakkelak voertuie word toe vir 24 uur in ‘n motorhuis gestoor. Dit het die probleem sommer vinnig opgelos.

So ry ek een nagskof met ‘n reserviste konstabel. Ek vertel hom toe hierdie storie van die kakkelak brigade. Hy skaterlag en se dat hy ‘n beter een het vir my. Julle sal nie glo hoe hierdie storie die hele puzzle laat in mekaar pas.

Hy was gepos saam met die een sersant die spesifieke nag. Hulle het ‘n huisbraak gehad om by te woon. By die man se huis het hulle om die tafel gaan sit. Hulle het skaars gesit toe die huis eienaar afhak en se: “Where do you come from?” Hy geen een harde klap op die tafel en se vir sy 6 jarige seuntjie om die doom te gaan haal.

Dit was nie lank nie toe skree die man,”What, not again.?” En slaan weer hard op die tafel. Die reservis vertel my dat hy druk besig was om die verklaring te neem en nie veel gesien het wat aangaan. Hy vertel my dat hy die verklaring net klaar geneem het. Hy wys die huiseienaar waar om te teken en die volgende oomblik sien hy hoe ‘n kakkelak uit die sersant se stukkende leer hardloop oor die tafel.

Toe ek dit hoor toe sit ek twee en twee bymekaar en besef toe dat die sersant elke keer gewerk het voor die ander skof aan diens gekom het. Seker sy troeterdiertjies?

ALFA 1 NA BEHEER

2008-09-05T21:58:00.005+02:00

Vir elke jong polisieman is dit ‘n groot dag wanneer jy vir die eerste keer ‘n polisievoertuig kan ry. Jy skryf eksamens en passeer uit om magtiging te kry. En vir Gharries was dit ‘n groot oomblik.

Die oggend kom hy aan diens en is heel in sy skik oor sy magtiging. “Ek het magtiging gekry, ek het magtiging gekry.” Dit word vir almal gese en hy stoot sy bors uit met trots.

“Goed Gharries, jy kan vandag vir A1 ry en vat vir Sers. Van Niekerk saam met jou.” Se die bevelvoerder. Hy kon gou genoeg die sleutels kry nie. Hy boek vir A1 uit. ‘n F100 bakkie, soos julle weet sit hulle ratte by die stuurwiel.

Die voertuig staan reg by die ingang van Windhoek stasie. Voor die voertuig is geen voertuig geparkeer. Agter staan die groen Volla van die speurders.

“Alfa 1 na beheer” roep Gharries oor die lug. Beheer.,”Stuur, Alfa1.”

“O, G$% daar stamp ek hom.” Kliphard oor die lug.

Gharries het die voertuig agteruit gesit in plaas van eerste rat en klim behoorlik daar groen volla op.

Ek glo Gharries was die het die kortste tydperk gehad om magtiging te gehad het.

Jare daarna het ek die voorreg gehad om vir Gharries te ontmoet. Wat ‘n interressante karrakter.
