Living the good life on a budget.
I have finally finished my day job for the holidays which means that I can well and truly get into the holiday mode now. I have spent quite a few evenings wrapping presents, decorating our house with sparkly lights and enjoying the wind down this time of year brings. I got a new gingerbread candle…
It is definitely nearing Christmas now; the weather has got much cooler and I have had to defrost my windscreen more than once this week! Most of our evenings have been spent sat on the sofa, cuddled up and watching a film. We’ve finally got round to watching the start of Breaking Bad to see…
The first weekend in December is done! I love this time of year, and the houses around us are beginning to get their Christmas lights up, so driving home when it’s dark is slightly less dull as I can look at all the different variations of Christmas lights as I drive through the streets. Our…
Another week over, and what a week it has been! Thankfully, the car has been fine this week so no issues there, or no further spends, which is good. I have been doing some online shopping this week so our Christmas shopping is already over half done; by next weekend it should be all finished…
As the weeks continue to fly by, work gets more and more busy in the run up to Christmas, I feel myself wishing that time would go just that bit slower. I have so much to do and not enough time! We have had yet more car issues this week as well, which are hopefully…

I have been off work this week and what a difference it makes to morale. Knowing that I don’t have to get up at 6:45am every morning and make my way to work for the day is such a good feeling; I like my job but it’s hard going at times so I’m glad of…
Another week has gone by, almost as fast as the last one. Work has been particularly busy tis week so I’m glad it is the weekend. I’ve found my shoulder to be quite achey this week and I’ve struggled doing some things, so it was been a bit testing at times. I don’t think it’s…
This week has been much better; my arm is out of the sling and I can do more around the house and at work. I will still need to be very careful for a while – it’ll take 6 weeks for it to heal completely so I just need to remember not to do too…
I don’t know about anyone else, but I have found this week to go by so slowly. It probably hasn’t helped that I have been restricted in what I can do at work as I’ve had my arm in a sling all week, but each day seems to have dragged a lot. There is a…
