Simply money..again....

21/7/2014

After lots of patient filing and shredding, lots of research, lots of frustration, hours online and on the phone....we have saved all of £31.98 (by paying our broadband package online).

Wow.

We plod on.

Big rewards will come!

A slightly different take on the subject of personal finance comes from Carl Richards author of The Behaviour Gap. He writes for the New York Times. Browse his blog for thoughtful advice about teaching your children about money matters, and I particularly liked this article.

But I liked the sunshine on the early morning poppies even more -

And is there any more peaceful occupation than collecting seed? Pink campion today, destined for Coronation Wood.

The poppies are so pretty, and your garden is so green and lush! Here in the hot, dry, Central Valley of sunny California things are looking very brown and crisp and the serious drought doesn't help.

We've been having alternate days of rain and warm sun - perfect growing weather. Coping with drought must be very difficult.

It is good to look at your photographs, especially now that words are still failing me.

Regarding your new-found savings. Congrats! But why does it take so long to save but spending goes so quickly? Doesn't seem quite fair, does it?

It doesn't!

Oh, your pictures are beautiful! Here in Australia it's Winter. The only thing currently flowering is the rosemary so your photos make me live in hope for Spring.
Well done with all of your filing and research :) Yes, the amount you saved seems small, but you could use that money towards....more beautiful flowers! Or, ahem, an extra payment towards the mortgage!! Will your practical or romantic side win?

We are having such a lovely summer that it's hard to imagine winter. My romantic and practical sides are always at odds!
