So we’ve been busy this week preparing. We’ve been thru all our belongings and decided what we want to keep/sell/donate/throw.

The ‘keeps’ have been given proper homes within our house, the ‘sells’ are boxed up in the loft ready for the beginning of the car boot season and the donates are already at the local charity shop. I’ve gone thru the ‘throws’ and salvaged old worn out clothes for patchworking and polishing the car, the rest is all in the recyling boxes waiting for the collection next week.

It’s been a busy week, but the weekend should be calmer. I think a spot of food shopping at the Farmers Market and then onto the local butchers for next weeks meat.

I got paid today but I’m not planning to spend anything until we go on holiday in a couple of weeks. I need to keep a tight reign on the purse strings so we have plenty of ‘spends’!

Until next week – keep pinching those pennies!

I have never been a wasteful person but I feel that in the past I have be less frugal than I would like to be.

I feel the need to reduce my outgoings, save for the future, stay at home with my family, live more simply and try to beat the system!

I’ll start off simply; sell some of my unwanted goods. Grow my own fruit & veg and walking to work. Then see where it leads…
