Living the good life on a budget.
April is over and what a month is has been! Time seems to be going more quickly as of late, so April seems to have flown by in a blur of work and relaxation time. The weather has been better as well, the days are longer and warmer which has been lovely. We also got…
Well, March is over, and what a month it has been. There have been definite ups and downs, as you’ll see from our aims, but I still feel like we’re doing the best we can. We have spent some time with family at the weekends, plus it has been our wedding anniversary as well, so lots…
Well, February is over! I always find February a tougher month, although I’m not entirely sure why. We had a fantastic mini getaway in the middle of the month which left both of us feeling much more refreshed and relaxed. It is amazing what a break from routine can do, and catching up on sleep. We’ve…
Well, January is over! What a month it has been with many ups and downs, but we’re through the other side. We’ve had very mixed weather, with bits of snow in the last week so it has felt a bit like we’ve been hibernating; staying in on an cold evening when we’re cosy and warm…
December is over, and what a fantastic month it has been for us. I had a brilliant birthday, we’ve had a fantastic Christmas surrounded by family, and all in all, I feel very grateful for what we have. The break from work has been lovely and it has given me some time to reflect on…
Another month is over! I’ll be honest, November has not been the best month for us. We’ve had a lot of unexpected expenses (mainly the car and some house things) and work has not been fantastic over the last couple of weeks as the pressure grows as we get nearer and nearer to Christmas. …
Another month is over and we creep ever closer towards Christmas and the holidays. October has been reasonably good to us, though perhaps not as good as it could have been finance-wise. It was our car’s MOT this month, and whilst it was lower than it could have been, it still cost us £370 to…
As I sit here and mull over September as a month, there have been some definite highs and lows, both financial and personal. As my day job begins to get more pressured, I’m learning the hard way how to keep myself organised and get tasks done before they become overwhelming. September marks the fourth…
August has gone by so fast, I can’t quite believe it. It’s been a fantastic month for us though, and I’ve enjoyed every minute. At the end of the month I like to do a reflection on how the month has gone and reflect on the aims I set at the beginning of the month. …
Another month is over! I don’t know about anyone else, but 2014 is flying by for us. At the end of the month I like to do a reflection on how the month has gone and reflect on the aims I set at the beginning of the month. July has been good for us…
