Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a Happy Christmas,

 Jolly Holidays 

 and a Wonderful New Year!

 My next post will be in 2016.

 (Is it just me, or does that sound impossibly far in the future?)

Disorganized

When I am Rich I’ll be able to employ someone to organize my holidays for me. I’ll tell them where I want to go and leave it up to them to book the accommodation, make the travel arrangements, research the area and draw up a detailed plan of where to go and what to do each day.

 

On second thoughts … I’d rather make my own adventure.

 See you when I get back!

Growing inspiration

One of the many pleasures of my recent trip toScotland was gathering some new ideas for the garden I plan to create when I am Rich.

I love the colour scheme of this barrel,

 and these tumbling  

 nasturtiums,

 

and I really want

these trees!   

A clever way to give new life to an old boat.

  

And no garden would be complete without one of these,

and some of this,

and a smiley crocodile!

 

I think I’ll have to add a few more acres ... 

Greetings and Wishes!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

Wherever you are, and whatever you're doing, may you be RICH in all the things that matter most!

A Christmas wish

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

Whatever you’re doing during this festive season I hope you enjoy all the riches money can’t buy.

P.S. Message for Flowerpot ( http://wantacupatea.blogspot.co.uk/ ) - I still can't comment on your blog, even when I sign in as a member. I just get a message saying 'only members can comment'? Just wanted to let you know I'm still following. Merry Christmas!

A win-win situation

I’m feeling very rich today – I booked a holiday and gave a generous donation to my favourite charity. My income hasn’t increased but I booked the holiday through Give As You Live. It’s a clever website that has gathered together thousands of online companies that give a percentage of their takings to charity. Lots of companies make charitable donations of course, but usually they decide where their money goes. The thing I like best about Give As You Live is that, as a customer, I get to choose which UK charity or fundraising organisation receives the money.  

   

I don’t do a lot of online shopping but, when I’m thinking of making a purchase, I’ve got into the habit of clicking on Give As You Live first to check if the product I want is available through the site. It doesn’t cost me any more to shop this way; in fact it can be cheaper as the site lists all the current special offers available from participating companies. And, as a bonus, I receive an email afterwards telling me how much has been donated to the cause I’m supporting. 

Now then, can I afford some new clothes to wear on my holiday …?

Season's Greetings

I’m off for my Christmas break now.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,

and may your New Year be filled with all those wonderful riches money can’t buy.
