"Je ne suis pas habituee"....these are the words that spring to mind, when i think of how poor I am (financially speaking!), and how poor i have been since the start of january after i spent up large on my xmas holiday.  Over january I....

1. tried to spend as little money as possible, involving staying in Bergerac, with an odd trip to Perigueux to shake things up a little

2. went into overdraft for the first time in my life...

3. discovered the amazing-heavenly-delicious caramel buns available 10minutes walk from my house...hmmm, dangerous!

4 Chateau at Monbazillac
Chateau at Monbazillac
 . did a cross-country run near Sarlat, at a place called Tamnies.  Hard.

5. started to learn to ride a horse: currently i feel that i like sitting on a horse while it walks, however when it starts trotting i suddenly feel terrified!

6. cycled out to the chateau of Monbazillac, which is on a hill about 7km from Bergerac, and you can look back down on the village.  the weather can be super-warm (between 15-20 degrees in the afternoons, after the 2 degree mornings, and the sun comes out, and the village is beautiful, like way back in september...)

7. planned my next adventure: morocco and spain.  only three weeks away!!!

i have also avoided the 'soldes' .... my pauvre bank account just won't run to it....hehehe.
