I do not need to buy anything

I'm a verbal processor, and thanks to this blog and social media, I have a whole new way of chatting out my personal issues.
After four years business is finally comfortable and we've been blessed to have our money stress finally taken care of.
This improved cash flow has been burning quite a hole in my pocket. The grass has constantly been greener, and my life will be so much better once I buy x, y , z (then is the same) .

So today I'm telling myself off, in an effort to get back to just enjoying my blessings. I do not need to buy anything to be happy.
I do not need coffee out.
I do not need any more dry goods
I do not need more gardening tools or homeward.
I do not need to buy any food - I have freezer, cupboards and allotment.
I'm challenging myself to make do and not buy anything for a week.
Blog posts to follow- wish me luck

So they are a cheap option but are they cheerful enough to do the job?

Starting our kitchen garden

Growing our own food has been an ambition of my husband and I. We both really value locally sourced produce,  and enjoy spending time outdoors.  In our first home together (a basement flat in the city centre) we planted anything and everything we could in planters on the windowsill.   I had green beans trailing up the bars of our windows. They bolted and twirled up the bars but never got enough light  to produce anything edible. Then we moved into our first pub which had masses of outdoor space, unfortunately,  all car park and no dirt. We managed to sustain some hanging baskets with strawberries and a few herb planters, but that was about it.  Now we are in our new home.  A lovely country pub in the new forest, whiich offers a private garden just for our little family.  We moved here when I was 8 months pregnants and ever since, I've been desperate to make the most of it.  Since the new year we've been planning what to do with this neglected space.  I found this

What can I grow this January? After the business of December, January has hit me like a sledgehammer. I'm bored. I need a new project, and what I really want to do is get on top of my allotment and kitchen garden.
