Hopefully in a few months I shall have dropped a size in clothes. I have started exercising to DVD tapes after a couple of years idleness, not as hard as I thought.
We don't have much spare, ever, and the downside of putting money away each month for the car and caravan holiday fuel does mean that there is less in the bank. I have asked two of my sons to give us a small amount of money for our birthdays, which are in the first quarter of this year. The money will go towards winter fuel, and be more useful than something neither of us particularly want. Having said this, OH has just shoved coal on our living room fire, and we have visitors tonight, so shall be using our front room. WHAT A WASTE!! I have voiced my displeasure very mildly.
We've always tried to use the car as little as possible, and do all our shopping at one go. Family visits will also have to be reduced even more, and this is sad, but there is little alternative.
We have two more family weddings this year, and I am wondering if I dare splash out on a new outfit for the autumn one, which is that of one of my sons. M'm, will see.
