Our attempt at being MF!!

Am hoping so debtfree. It's arriving this week but I do need to get a cover for it in preparation.

Few jobs done today which has reminded me of the times we are currently living in. Uploaded some completed homeschooling exercises,  keyworker school sessions booked, new cashless payment system activated and bought an e-giftcard as a birthday present. Current account looking a bit trim but I fully expect that amount to be sat there on Thursday ready for my weekly empty as not planning any unnecessary spends.

Right, I'm off to see if that sunshine is as lovely as it looks in the garden as it was surprisingly warm yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to sit in the garden to read in February.

The last few days of February have been a total treat haven’t they.

The garden furniture sounds great and will get plenty of use I’m sure, fingers crossed it will be another early summer again this year 🙂

It really was glorious and hopefully a taste of more warm and sunny days ahead. Still waiting for my propogators to arrive (were due by today) but have made some toilet roll planters and will get some sweet peas planted up. Hoping to get some climbers in the garden too as never seem to have much luck with those. I'm still hoping to get a relaxing wander around the garden centre in at some point if the rules allow at some point! 

Forgot that the car tax was going out today but that did mean I could make an 88p Tilly tidy to kickstart the month. Could do with 3 no spend days now!

March spends

I’ve never managed sweet peas. Will try again this year.

I try every year debtfree and each year is slightly more successful that the year before. Hoping by planting seeds I can have more plants as can get expensive buying potting plants. I'd plant them everywhere if I could! Think I caught a glimpse of a wild flower sprout so have given them another water and ensured they are are covered as I suspect the dog had been interested in them too!! 

Spent some time after work planting up my seeds in toilet roll tubes as my 3bay order never arrived and click and collect items not ready! Fingers crossed for tomorrow and I can really get stuck in. 

It feels like it's nearly the weekend again!

I’m still debating if the last frost has been and gone so I can really get going on the seed planting.

I think we definitely have a few more frosts to go here. I am now all set up ready for some seed planting tomorrow and am soaking some seeds in preparation. This is my first year growing much from seed so I'm hoping for some beginners luck or I will be panic buying plants!! Have already planted some sweet peas, the morning glory seeds are soaking and I have tall snapdragons that I've bought and some smaller snapdragon seeds I harvested last year. I think I saw a tiny bit of green in my wildflower area but I was looking really hard so may
have been imagining it or it was a random blade of grass!! The dining room is set to become a temporary greenhouse. 

I had allocated £100 to be paid off patio furniture but we are eating into that this week so will just take us an extra week to pay for it. £15.75 sent to mortgage from rounding account down on payday..... that's about as good as our efforts will be this week. I shall keep plodding though and hopefully be pleasantly surprised that the money is stretching further than initially planned.

I’m so desperate to get planting!

Had a productive day in the garden and It was actually quite pleasant in the sunshine. We have done a mini garden project today and we're really pleased with it. It was just replacing weed guard and gravel but it has really tidied up the garden and £22.50 on Gravel was very well spent. Generally tidied up the rest of the garden and moved some furniture around so there is always somewhere to sit in the sun as it makes its way around the garden. Once again I've enjoyed a cuppa and my book in the garden and for me that is a Saturday well spent! 

We do seem to be spending a lot at the moment though so I'm hoping that's the last of it until the next payday.
