Off galavanting again...

We are back to That London tomorrow evening. Weeny adn I bagged train tickets for £41. Far too good an offer.

Another cheap weekend of things to do. May do VA Museum and Trafalgar and some bridges.... Battersea Park.. walk along the river if its nice. We return Sunday.

Weeny has a super hero day tomorrow at Nursery school. I have not purchased a specific outfit. I thought Princess was a bit of a cop out and not really a super hero! So she is going as a Nurse- real life super hero!!! Woul dhave been doctor but I don't have that outfit. I tried to pursuade her to be a police officer but couldn't convince. (we have a hat and cravat thing) Sorry but I don't get super hero for a girl- Wonder Woman is a bit slutty for a four year old, invisible girls from the fantastic four- nah boring costume!, Super |Girl, Electra - all a bit slutty IMO Can't think of any others that may be suitable. The little kid from Kick Ass if you have seen the film would be amusing especially at School snigger.

We have made up tea for the train adn I am taking some nibbles with me. it wil lbe far too late to go to the shops etc and Biggles will not get back till Friday afternoon. He is on a course and cannot get the day off. Did n't know that when we booked the tickets- shame!

The seasons are changing I can feel the hills and beach a calling so London may fall out of favour!

Enjoy whats left of the weeks blogging chums!!!

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.
