Plotting against me...

There are days when it seems 'things' are just plotting against us!!

I think I have champagne taste but a lemonade budget

Since 'finding' my dream chicken home we have had to pay for...
road tax, 2 new tyres, a new car battery, a horrendous overspend on Abbas mobile phone bill and a school trip abroad for Lolly!!
All within 30 days of Christmas

and now the car has died.  
So as lucky as we are I do still some days feel that things are just plotting against me 

Money for us is the same as for most people it is not an unlimited source and for every expense a saving has to be made (can you see where this is going?)

I'm hoping that I can save enough pennies by trimming my ambitions for the garden will allow for the chickens to be with us shortly after my birthday

Fingers Crossed the car is a simple job

Thanks for popping by...I love to hear from you and really appreciate you taking the time.
I am sorry about having to ask you to prove you're not a robot but for some reason I am having a LOT of spam nowadays {and we're not talking fritters!}
