Happy New Year to everyone. Hope we all have a happy, safe and healthy year in 2022.
Our new years resolution is to knock £10k off of our debt balances this year.
We are having a quiet day today. Nothing too strenuous. Bbq breakfast this morning and then later on we have a 3 bird roast and all the trimmings for dinner.
We are going to have a wander to the pub later for a quiet couple of drinks, but that will be the extent of the spends today.2 -

BBQ breakfast was yummy this morning. Think we had the best of the weather first thing though.

We have just got back from the pub and are now working out the logistics of cooking a 3 bird roast 😃
The dog is sound asleep. He is shattered again. The fresh air and country walks are wearing him out2 -
Happy new year and I’m sure you’re going to smash your goal.
Apart from the van getting stuck looks like you’re having a good time away. Enjoy the rest of it!0 -
We have made the best of what we got. We have all, our new neighbours and the farmer included, had a good laugh about the van sinking.alt80 said:Happy new year and I’m sure you’re going to smash your goal.

It really has not impacted the holiday at all. In fact we had the best view of the Christmas tree through the window in the door 😀

You really do see the best in things @RelievedSheff why I find you a bit of an inspiration tbh mate I’ve always struggled to make the best of a situation and here you are stuck in a field and you’ve found something positive from it. Did you get your three bird roast cooked in the end?1
