Yes another month is here and the year is whizzing by.
(Shame it isn't whizzing by quite a sunnily as we all might have liked.)
Any how this month is already proving to be an expensive one in our house hold.
We have (all being well) just purchased a car for the youngest ready for when she passes her test.
A lovely old beetle.
(you can't beat a VW)
Andy has just passed his motorbike test and has purchased a Honda motorbike.
(He hates the traffic so it should make his journey shorter and I pray it will be a safe one too)
And I have brought tickets for vanfest so we can start to look for a VW camper van.
So all other spending is well and truly off for this month.
Shopping the wardrobe, food and toiletries cupboards it will be.
I have got a few vouchers which I shall be using for any items we need whilst the sales are on.

Thankfully we are also eating well from our allotment with potatoes, lettuces, cucumber, courgettes, mangetout and runner beans to name but a few things.
So do you guys have any exciting plans for this month?

Hubby has a week off next week but has frozen shoulder at the moment ggrr.

Trust me she's had to earn it and we still have exam results to get yet but she does know she is lucky. In fairness we got her sister her first car at around the same age and I like to make sure they both have the same within reason.
DeleteFunny you should say about leathers as I intend to take my bike test next year. (More on that another day)
Hope hubby's shoulder gets better soon hun.

ReplyDeleteSo far Sophie its not looking too high. (famous last words that!)
DeleteWith a bit of luck it will encourage her to pass her test quickly with the car already being available.

August is going to be frugal for me too so I'm doing a shopping my wardrobe challenge. No non essential spending allowed!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved a Beetle as my first car, they're so characterful. Good luck with the hunt for a camper van, I love those too!
Your allotment sounds amazing - I will do better next year, I will!
You are so good with your challenges and I just know you will do great on this next one too.
DeleteWe've worked hard at the allotment but it is rather satisfying seeing all the veg now.

Off on holiday Saturday and will be shopping my wardrobe and cupboards after that!
