Happy New Year to everybody who reads my blog , I am really looking forward to the new year , We have been married 40 years in june , We are not party lovers so i have booked us a caravan in yorkshire which is our favorite place in the uk ,
we travel on the saturday as its our Anniversary on the sunday , Normally we have a tight budget for our holidays but for this special occasion I ave upped the budget by £100 I wanted to find a cottage but we have a long list of wants or needs and no cottage came up to the list in any way or form and was too expensive if it did coming out at around £1,000 As we as still paying down debts i would rather use the money to pay off some more ,
The caravan has everything we want with uninterrupted sea views , The one thing i always look for in a van is one with lots of space around it as one year we went to cornwall and a party of women turned up in the van next to us ,They were really loud and because of that we ended our holiday early ,
The one we have booked has no vans at the back as they are on the next ledge up and nothing at the one side so hopefully we will have a nice quiet relaxing holiday ,
So back to frugality in preparation as always , The freezer is full to bursting and i have enough meals to last all of january and february so over the weekend i am going to take stock and meal plan to see how far i can stretch my freezer stuff
The only groceries i have bought since december are Eggs , Coffee & milk plus some reduced potatoes from the co op
Yesterday i made a swiss roll as we had just finished off the christmas cake and mince pies so it will be back to baking this week ,
I am going to try and blog about my frugal meals and bakes ,
Its gone really cold and wet here today and Once again i did not do the market plus ebay is dire so i will need to be as frugal as i possibly can.
