Since the cost of things here is twice as much as back home and it is £1 for every $2, we have had to be creative with our monthly budget.

We shop the sales and discounts and keep less of a stock in our cupboards for food.
And, Rob has resorted to giving himself haircuts (a hair cut for men is £31- $62).
I could not resist sharing this experience with you.

We tried another new church this week and enjoyed some much needed family time together.
