First Things First

i think first things first i need to sort out my garden......i used to love doing the garden, and at one time i did have an allotment, but time and the lack of help from hubby ment it was not worth me keeping, plus there was a waiting list, and it wasnt fair on those other people who could have got good use out of it, unlike me.....being realistic it was a fair trek away, approx 10 miles, so now with the price of fuel ever increasing, it would not have been finacially viable now.
There is a fair bit of tidying up in the garde, and i know i have missed the main planting season, but i can still grow somethings... so over the next few weeks i will show you the progress of my garden..

In the big picture of things.... i think trying to grow some veg, even if its only enough for a few meals will help me save money...and i think this is going to be the backbone of my 3 year daydream fund... trying to grow and make as much as i can... and also make money fo coarse..

Yesturday i banked £110. hurrraaaaaayyy so now i an on my way.....i also opned a Halifax saver account which is offering 10% interest, so i am going to set up a monthly payment of £25 and what ever i make during the months ahead i will make extra payment.....

ok not a lot of money, but its a start.... i know waht you are saying....these small amounts are not even cover the cost of the legal fees of buying a house let alone a smallholding..... and i totally agree with you, BUT its a start.....

Today is Thursaday and on thursdays gala bing do free bingo games at certain times of the day..... so i will have a game or 2.... hasnt cost me anything, andi have a very remote chance of winning.... well even if its £5...its something..... i am also going to start entering free compitions online again..... i won a pair of tickets to go and see some motorshow in january, but we could not go, so i sold them on ebay.. if i remember rightly i had about £30 odd quid for them.....

hope the photos have turned out ok on the blogg...lol....

sorry if my posts sound a bit boring, but i am still feeling my feet, well bikerboots.....and my head is exploding with ideas and thoughts on what to do to try and achieve my goal.... but if i write them all down at once... this part of the blof will be about 2 miles long and a total ramble.. and i would have frizzled myself out...

see you all soon......

Don't let any negative thoughts in! You go for it. Even a couple of quid all helps. And the larger the fund gets, the more motivation you'll feel. And get busy listing more on ebay - storing it is a missed op! x
