The weeks roll on and I can't believe we're almost mid September. We've had a rocky start with the budget and have somehow gone right off track, so I've spent the morning going through the cupboards to put together a meal plan for the week that will require me to buy as little as possible. This hasn't really been an issue as there's plenty of food left and of course it's better to use that up rather than buy more on top.
We've been away this weekend - part of the budget slip up - just visiting H's family. Glad to be back and as always there's a bit of sorting out to do - my task for the day.
I've been to the allotment last week and worked on the soil a lot, and finally sewn some seeds for winter. Whether or not they flourish, or even germinate, is entirely weather dependent, so what will be will be. H has built me a large planter for the front garden from pallets and is planning to build another, so the plan is that I could grow my broad beans, garlic and onions at home. That will rely on me lining and filling the beds though, and finding the money to do that.
I am hopeful things will get a little easier financially soon. The only way this can really happen is that I get better at managing the money, as I have no plans to go back to work unless we have exhausted all other options. We have as much as we need, I'm sure of that. We are so much wealthier even than my generation was growing up in lots of ways, and the things people spend their money on is absurd.
Time to go before I launch into a full rant, my housework is still waiting and the croutons need to come out of the oven.
