A very frugal Christmas...

With every penny being counted these days (by me...not so much by JW)
I just felt it wouldnt be right to spend loads of money on Christmas like I normally do...

Sooo, this year I am making gifts!!!

Ok, I know, that screams cheapo right?
But wait! It's only for close family members who will find it endearing and not crappy (hopefully)
I dont normally do any friend gifts now we're grown ups,
and I will be buying JW a little something...

so im making posh biscuits for my Dad,
and ive got my needles out and knitted a cover/sock for my mum's new kindle.

and im currently trying to make mittens for my sister...
I say trying, because it is THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD
and im starting to slightly panic now that I wont get them done in time (I have 2 days...eek)

Anyway,
The snow is almost all gone in London :(

Snow

London is covered in snow at the moment,
and as much as I love snowfights and building snowmen
Im really craving warmer climates!


It feels colder than ever today, and Ive had a really horrible cold which lasted a week, and I'm still feeling crappy


Im really ready to go travelling and feel the heat...

1 year on...

Its been 1 year since I started this 'travel' blog.

A year ago today I had made the decision about something I had been daydreaming about for years- to give it all up and go travelling with JW for as long as I could.

Since that first post, we have moved in with my parents, started a savings account and have been researching routes like crazy,

And next week, JW will have his ceremony to become a British citizen!

We are scarily close to acheving our dream of travelling!!
