Last post till Monday

Off to Scots lander for three nights ! Weather forecast is poor but where are I going again??? Am I guaranteed blistering sunshine.. ever..... no - rain- most excellent Scottish weather!!! We have packed for all variables apart from snow!

I have packed this evening and am really tired. Friday - plans are just to get there and roll into bed. Saturday we need to find food and explore - Beach and Dunure and seeing mum. Sunday its birthday time - so cake, pressies etc. I shall purchase these on Sunday morning. I will post pics. May take a trip for lunch to Maybole - a village type place down the coast and a little inland.

See Mum again on Monday before coming home. ( I will gut the grass and wash the floors - I will I will)

Biggles stressed - frustrated at work and unable to ride bike. He is collecting weeny one tomorrow. We are leaving as soon as I get back.

Am shattered- and am really looking forward to a weekend where we have nothing planned and can potter about the house and if its a nice day go to the beach, if not bake cakes etc etc or may be all of that with extra bits!!!
Here are some weeny girl pics for fun!!! oh and Dunure and beer ice cream and the River Till at Etal, Northumberland over Easter weekend when we had lovely weather!!!

Brown Ale Ice Cream - no seconds thank you very much, I prefer cold bottles.

River Till - a tributary of the Tweed! ( I think lol)

Pretending to be a shop dummy - loving the wig!

Castle at Dunure - Scotland

My sister and Weeny one near castle making daisy chains

Its a great little cove with a pebble beach, ruined castle, caves, ice cream shop, rock pools and a nice pub

See you soon blogger peeps!!!

Why do I Blog!

Well primarily for me its a cathartic get it off my chest / a means to organise thoughts / to take stock. A journal that in 2012 has an interactive ' Dear diary' that is vast.

I don't write to share wisdom. Have very little of that. I don't claim to have an aspirational lifestyle of any kind. I dont write for it to be read even. If it is and my mad mixed up life interests people, makes them laugh, is a bit of a soap opera, whatever then that's great. Blogging - a bit of an affirmation of real life life choices maybe....

Sometimes my blog brings order and reflection to the real world. Sometimes Blogland folks share pearls of wisdom which is very very cool! :-)

I ve gained a great deal from reading other peoples blogs. Different ways of life are always interesting. I don't get involved in giveaways or stuff like that. I think its lovely though. Am pants at choosing gifts and it would give me no end of nightmares.

I read blogs before I blogged. Some people share so much and through reading I have learnt a great deal.Practical and otherwise.The tips are fantastic for frugal stuff. As are the stories of strangers lives. INSPIRATIONAL and all wonderfully different.

I m a bit of a roller coaster girl up and down. The blog keeps me more train like. Also an outlet for the negative stuff. A bit like wind. And by that I mean the gaseous stuff. BETTER OUT THAN IN. My blog is then a load of old fart.....this amuses me greatly.

Thanks Dave!!!

Once upon a time the end was in sight and financial freedom from my little debt of under 5k was nearly within my grasp! December 2012 if not before with the benefits of frugality however our friend Dave had other plans!!!!

I was made redundant from my job with a pish package I took what I could find till a full time position. Finally taking a 10k salary drop.

In 2009 I invested in property buying my house with a 15% deposit. n 2011 after three years of home owning and negative equity to the tune of 12k I have finally sold and now have jack bloody buggery shite. What smarts is that I gave up time with my small child in favour of seeking security for us. If only I had done the opposite....... rented, claimed top up benefits and saved my hard earned cash .... quality of life for me and weeny girl for three years would have been be better and we would have a cash sum in the bank and no debt.

You play frugal, play independent, watch your consumption, don't do frivalous sofas or new cars, no nights out at the pub type debt just what you have to! After a double whammy from the government - house market slump and Local Authority redundancy compounded by rural living what is a single mum supposed to do???? = Suck it up, Keep smiling, and use a brush instead of a hoover.
