The Plan of Action

today i was thinking about my plan of action.... in how i am going to get money to buy my dream home....

my first thought was to rob a bank.......which in reality is not an option....

beg......steal......borrow....... again not really good options....

so..... i think, first of all i need to make sure that our household finances are in order.... and that i stay within our weekly spend budget.... which i done a few months ago..... we have £120. per week to pay for food.......electric ( we are on tokens) petrol for the car and bike, coal in the winter.... and any other expense..... this was tight before prices of petrol and food started going up..... now its a night mare to be honest..... so i use a lot of money off coupons that i print off the interenet and from daily papers when they are in there....

I am now going to have to make full use of our garden and greenhouse.... to grow some food....We havent got a big garden, but if i can save some pennies.... even if i grow potatoes.... for a few meals.. it will be worth it, as the price of spuds in the supermarket is silly...

so tomorrow i will post some pics of my before garden.... and will keep you updated in pics on how it is doing..... i know its a bit late, but we can still get things growing....

going to dig out ( hahahaha excuse the pun) some of my books to give me some ideas on saving money around the house etc....

right i better go now as i dont want to bore you to tears.... plus i am still getting my head around this bolf thing...lol..

night night all......
