Happy Monday :)
Well pay day finally arrived. I've been sitting, waiting for it to arrive and although it took its time, it did. A welcome one indeed.
So we have made it through Christmas and most of January and are now ready to bring on Frugal February. The idea is to spend as little as possible on groceries and get back on an even keel after the Christmas spends.
Life is good at the moment. Yesterday saw the family gather together for a Sunday lunch cooked by yours truly and I must say, it was thoroughly enjoyed. We followed it with a lovely walk with the dog and by the time we came back, the children were worn out. An early night was had by all, most welcome too!
We went to view a little property on Saturday. We're not looking to buy yet but whilst we were over that neck of the woods we called in. It was lovely and plenty of inspiration to keep plodding along and get into a position to be truly looking.
In the coming weeks I will be planting some potatoes after they have chitted and I'm on the look out for something else to plant. I don't have a lot of room, it's a small veg patch, not bags/borders etc so watch this space!
Speaking of potatoes, we have a lovely butternut squash and sweet potato soup for lunch today. I made it last night. It has a bit of chilli in it to keep us warm on these colder days. Although, having said that, it's becoming increasingly spring like today.
So, now we're starting Frugal February, I'm reinforcing we are still determined and looking more than ever to the end goal. 2 years to go!
I might even start planning a little......let's start with pigs......
