Life so far

Been meaning to blog to give everyone a lowdown on Christmas but that was so long ago. We had a good Christmas. My lasting and strongest image of Christmas are my hubby and my boys including the baby playing the game that I bought! I could see the back of the baby's head (6mths old) and he was trying to pick up sticks. It truly was a Kodak moment.



For the past 10 years I have been greatly humbled by my circumstances. If life had gone the way I designed it I would be a successful Lawyer power dressing everyday, driving a luxury car, shopping at all the best designer shops all around the world. Today I am a teacher/lecturer, my hubby drives an MPV - I don't want a luxury car right now I like being eco friendly and I look for a car that looks good but is practical and economical to run and I don't do too much clothes shopping as I have other interests.

I'm not telling you that I don't aspire for better for myself of my family but its not tied up in material things. I bought one of the Christmas game for the boys from Oxfam.

When I visit Oxfam with the boys they don't want to leave as they have games and books. All they see is things they like they are not even aware that the goods are second hand.

I see this credit crunch as an opportunity for creativity and as a catalyst for some changes. I hope to be able to grow some of my own produce this year and I want to work on being debt free. I'm setting myself a challenge to find a job nearer home. I know that we are in a recession but I'm flexible and this is yet another challenge which I believe I can overcome.
