Fit and Frugal

Well in April I moved house, and joined my local gym. I didn’t train as planned but I realise I lack the personal discipline to make myself train. Especially when I have the option not to!

So I have moved all of my things into the new house. There have been problems, plumbing & electrical but we are getting these sorted bit by bit. These thing are expensive and I have further expenses to come (such as purchasing Freehold of our property, getting married, buying a Porsche – all to be explained at a later date!!!), but we are financially much better off in a house we own with a mortgage, then just renting.

Don’t get me wrong renting is good, we had a really nice house, but that money was going every month but we had nothing to show for it. Hence the need to purchase our own property.

We moved in during the Easter break, and used a local removals company to do all of the lifting & pulling. This was so useful. Yes it cost money, but we think that this was a wise move as 1) we couldn’t physically move all of our things 2) We were so fried from working we didn’t have time to organise things ourselves. The removals company were excellent and did a fantastic job.

Once we were in we had problems such as broken washing machines and leaking showers and dodgy electrics. Almost all of which are sorted now.

Here are my current priorities:

1) to go to the local gym 2-3 times per week
2) to completely de-wheat my diet
3) to start growing my own vegetables in the garden
4) to keep costs low by going cheap

These are my top 5 things to try in May. Lets hope I can be more successful then my Easter resolutions!
