I still remember my first decorated bedroom as a child. I think I was around age 4. Mum and Dad had bought some wonderful Holly Hobby wallpaper and matching quilt. I loved it so much, so much that it has always stayed with me, when I see the print I get a huge smile on my face. I also remember fondly prints of alley cats with big eyes ! Very 1970's. Four children of my own  later, we have had all sorts of rooms, lemon, bright yellow, grey, . . .

My budgeting is a little like my diet and exercise regime...erratic! Over the years I have been a budgeting genius, making magic from very little OR purchasing ridiculous impractical items because "ohhh it's so pretty", ask my Husband and he will say "that bloody rug"...haha I go through buying phases, mini addictions, from antique china tea cups to proper flax linen for the bedroom. I know, I know...ridiculous. There are a million budget . . .
