Powering M&E innovation in leisure centres.

, right off the front hall..

I thought today I’d share our story and our tips just for fun and so you might see how you could do it too if it’s your dream as well..In the planning stages, it’s all about the money.

Oh my goodness, living that hustle-and-bustle city life is expensive!Big mortgages, big child-care costs to cover those long hours you have to work, and expensive fuel costs so you can get to the job to work the long hours, all that.It all adds up and you can really feel like the only way to get ahead is to stay put in your tiny townhouse, put budgeting ahead of everything else, and just work work work until hopefully you move up the corporate ladder and maybe get a bit of a raise.

Those were exciting and character-building years for us for sure, but when I reached the ripe old age of 27 and our daughter Kennedy was about 5, I was done with it.I remember the exact moment when we realized there might be a loophole in “the system” and we might be able to actually get that big house on that big property that we wanted our kids to remember growing up in AND actually lower our cost-of-living.

As soon as that idea hit, we were ON it!

Within a few months, we’d changed our whole lives and have never had to look back.The only difference was that we added a few pumpkin pie type of spices to the cornstarch.

We just used whatever was on hand.So this time it was cinnamon, ground cloves, ginger, and nutmeg.

I don’t think the amount you use really matters.. We mixed the salt and the water first.Then put it on the stove on medium-ish heat and gradually added the spicy cornstarch.
