She went back to work but i lost my position due to the downturn.We have got by on a lot less and still seem to have just as much. We certainly waste less and buy only what we need.We still manage to go out and enjoy ourselves and i've rediscovered my passion for angling. The raised beds for the veg is on track and the wood panels and wire is sorted for the chicken run. Life is quite good at the moment and we both are so much more relaxed .
