It's now May and less than 4 weeks to moving day! Luna has decided to complicate things by having her first season which means she can't go out a walk (too many dogs where I live) and she can't go to puppy day care. They have also informed me that she can't go back for 3 MONTHS as she will still 'smell' and it will disrupt the pack dynamic. So I'm not happy at that as she can't go there on moving day!!! Currently she is being exercised in the back garden and we're doing lots of training to tire her out mentally too!
I literally have nothing on my calendar for the rest of the month (except Luna's wormer!!) until moving day. Having her around being clingy, moany and whiny is making packing boxes much more challenging.
I'm running down the storecupboard/fridge/freezer so it's less to pack but I still need to eat and still need to wash dishes! These eco tabs were reduced from £7 to £2.79!! That's almost 3 months of dish washing in my new house once I get a new dishwasher.
I didn't finalise my April spending as it was abnormally high due to moving costs so not helpful to my long term cost forecast. I'm trying to keep May's spending as low as possible then I'll start afresh in June in my new house.
I'm thinking about giving my YouTube channel a bit of a refresh to include all aspects of my new life where I'll share more than my allotment. It would definitely include living on a very low income, cooking from scratch, growing food, decorating on a budget, knitting and sewing my own clothes etc. Would that be interesting enough for anyone? Just a thought!
Yes please, would love to see some videos about ultra frugal living !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement! :-) xxx
DeleteYour channel sounds like something I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI like watching channels with varied content which is what made me wonder if I had enough to say :-) xxx
DeleteI tend not to watch lifestyle YouTube but love reading your blog 😍
ReplyDeleteI remember when our lab had her first season, it seemed to go on forever!

If she hadn't been so unwell as a puppy and been in hospital twice then she would have been spayed at 6 months. But the vet recommended waiting until she had one season. Honestly she's been a nightmare and we're only a week in!! :-) xxx

ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm thinking I might give it a go once I move. It's not long to go now but I'd feel happier knowing all the missives are concluded. It's just the flat's paperwork holding us up now. And yeah, cannot wait to have my privacy again!! :-) xxx
DeleteI would love to see your Youtube channel. what is your name on the channel. Frugal/simple living is calling to me more and more.

Packing is going well. Just the garage to tackle now!! :-) xxx
DeleteAnother yes for the youtube channel. I've really enjoyed your allotment videos.
ReplyDeleteYou should see my allotment! I'll be getting a letter from the committee soon if I don't get a move on!! :-) xxx
DeleteI'm sure they'll understand that you are organising 2 moves.
Deletei'm a yes to the you tube channel too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Currently working on it :-) xxx
DeleteOh, she timed that so badly for you didn't she ... naughty Luna. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, a varied vlog sounds like a really good idea on your channel, frugal YouTubers are doing really well at the moment.
She really is something else!! I've no idea how she's going to react to a different house and garden! :-) xxx
