Wedding planning, flats searching, job searching

Okay so I know it has been a long time since I blogged and my title is the reason for this,I know it looks all grown up and boring, and to be honest it feels pretty awful. If you have every been without money you will know what I mean, the system of living is revolved around money, you don't have a choice, even if you wanted to separate yourself completely from society you cannot do this without money, it doesn't matter who you are, we are essentially controlled by someone else's idea and in this country there seems to be no getting out. I am an idealist, and if I could live having as little to do with the system as possible I like to believe I would, but we need a roof over our head, food in our belly and we are as much as we love to get out there on the edge we are 'creatures of comfort'. I like to be snuggled in a warm bed with a nice hot cuppa (shocking I know) I like to come in out of the freezing winter winds and stand next to a radiator and as bad as this may sound sometimes I feel like being lazy, pajama days in front of the TV can even appeal to me. So could I really live out side the system? I rant about it, I dislike it, yet honestly I am not sure if I would be able to last forever living out in the sticks with nothing to go on except my own steam. So the only option I have left myself, is to beat the system at it's own game, and here are some possible ideas, make my own company, invest in property and/or gold, stop using the banks as much as I can, stop using the supermarkets,  help Brandon invent a machine that can power out house (if we ever get one) for free forever, dig a bore hole for fresh water (But I have found out you do pay tax on that, unbelievable) there is one problem, tax, I don't agree with the amount we get taxed, for one, who actually gets to decide where it goes? I mean I love the fact we have set up the NHS and I believe we should definitely all pay towards fixing up the roads and emptying bins and rubbish disposal. but I recently found out, they charge you about 86 pence tax per letre of  fuel now I'm no expert but that sounds like extremely high, where does all that money go? So, I have actually  gone completely of track, what I really want to say is my fiance and I are looking for a flat in the wiltshire area, we are still getting married, we are still running PPS (www.Pheifferprop.com) and I want to start blogging more regularly, foraging has come to quite a stand still, due to winter and business, but I am very keen to get back out there.

Wedding dress shopping halting foraging

Okay, so now I am beginning to learn that shopping for a wedding dress is quite difficult. Dresses are beautiful, wedding dresses make you feel like an absolute princess. I have been to two shops so far, and have found it an incredible challenge. Although, the first dress I tried on was lovely, absolutely me, it seems to hold beauty and nature if that is at all possible, but the prices of wedding dresses are crazy, the wedding dress I like is £633. Now it has lace and detail and everything you associate with expensive, but I still feel like that is a lot of money to spend on a dress, and that isn't even including having it altered. So at the moment foraging seems to have halted, the cold weather has been part of that, Brandon's had a few days of work, the only thing we have done foraging wise is siphon the wine into different containers before we siphon them into bottles. So it has been very quiet on the foraging front. We are off to Bristol to do some winter shopping today, I am not usually a fan of shopping, but I like shopping for jumpers and jackets, that I find fun. So, so far, shopping for a dress, fun, but hard work, foraging, standing a bit still in it's tracks. I am realising preparing for a wedding and doing your passions can be two very hard things to balance.
