I don't know if it's due to the 1/16th of Indian I have in me or what (jokes), but I am an extremely frugal individual, as well quite creative and resourceful.
After chewing through a marriage, I now find myself in peaceful place - mentally and physically.
After leaving the big smoke, I've moved myself and my trusty bulldog (Tank) to the Central Coast of NSW, and am enjoying the atmosphere here... peaceful (read: not Sydney-populated) beaches, plenty of fresh air, and non-pretentious living. Love it.
Bought a place with my folks, and are separating the living areas into two... 'cause hey, life's easier with trusty neighbours! Plus sharing costs and veggie patch maintenance works for me too!
After a bit of a hit and miss on RSVP, I've also managed to land myself an awesome guy who seems to appreciate my 'isms' and is a very supportive and encouraging partner to have.
We currently both commute to Sydney for our 5 day-a-week jobs, however, as this blog suggests, we're both keen on (an even more) simpler life.
Our best weekends have been plonking on the beach or engaging in other free activities :)
This blog will share some of my trials and tribulations at achieving this.
I intend to include:
○ cheap/simple/healthy recipes I've made up along the way
○ cheap/simple home decorating projects to make
○ cheap/simple dog tips
○ cheap/simple exercise and fitness alternatives
○ our big move to a simpler life in NZ
○ coping WITHOUT working 9-5, 5 days a week
○ coping WITHOUT a decent disposable income
PS: We're not hippies. Just honest, healthy creatures (36 & 45 as at start of 2013) at a time in our lives where we reckon we've put in enough to chillax a bit and enjoy life a little.
Hope you can along on my/our adventure!
