Buying a home and knowing nothing!

I probably shouldn't admit this here but I do sub to both Country Homes and Interiors and Country Living, and every month I cut out what I like and put it in a book seperated into rooms, I've been doing this since we started saving around 7 odd years ago!

The garden is ultra small, I recently gave up my allotment, as we were looking to buy and didn't want to be tied down, plus it was costing almost £150 a year to keep and that was one of the cheapest around over here! So will hopefully be putting in a raised bed. I really am looking to be as self sufficient from the small garden as possible, and cannot wait to get my hands stuck in!!

Just a thought but if you were willing to give up your subscriptions you would probably save enough to pay for the allotment? Your local library might subscribe to them in any case and, if they do an e-library service you might be able to download them free!

Oh golly I never thought of that, our current Libary is quite in the stone ages, I really need to re-subscribe to it though. Might try and get full use out of it this year!
