The Hiatus

I went away! And now I am back. I know the golden rule of blogging is not to fuss over a hiatus, but in truth, it has been a busy one. And after a successful(ish) No-Spend November, a decidedly not very frugal December and January, I am sorry to say!

There was beautiful weekend in Copenhagen around Christmas. People, language, food, culture, place all perfect - I would move to Denmark in a heartbeat. Maybe I will one day.

 

There was Christmas spent at home...

 

 

There was a ring!

 

 

And there was a week skiing in beautiful Finnish Lapland.

 

 

None of it planned and all very impulsive - and completely the opposite of frugal. I don't know how I feel about this - in one way it has been a fantastic few months, in another I am disappointed not to have kept my frugal commitments, and have not saved a penny!

There is a constant battle in my mind between seizing the day and planning for the future. The former won over this time, but both the Lovely Boyf (or Lovely Fiance now I suppose!) and I are both in agreement, that it is time to calm things down. Especially with a wedding to plan and save for.
