Every week I share five small things we’ve done to save a bit of money, make life easier or help us spend more intentionally. None of them are usually huge on their own, but that’s kind of the point. Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget.It’s time for this week’s Five Money-Saving Things, and I genuinely don’t know where this week has gone. It feels like five minutes since I was writing last week’s post and … [Read more...]
My October Bucket List….
I’m feeling really content with life at the minute and, as someone who is definitely an Autumn person, I’m really excited to see what October brings. It’s going to be a busy month because there’s quite a lot going on, including a couple of pretty big decisions that I need to make but actually in a weird way, that just makes me more excited for it.There’s lots I want to get done this month but I also really want to make sure I enjoy the month because October is one of my absolute favourite times of the year and I don’t want to get to the end of it and realise I’ve spent the whole month … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken (Easy, Flexible, and Always Worth Having In)….
Slow cooker shredded chicken is one of those things that I make so often that I almost forget it’s worth writing about — until I realise how much I rely on it. I shared it in a five frugal things post recently but as I was making it again today, I thought it was worth a blog post of it's own. I used to make shredded chicken all of the time in my Instant Pot, but I don't have that anymore (which hurts me 😁) and for ages, I just stopped making it because it honestly never even crossed my mind to try making it in the slow cooker… until one day it did. This version of shredded … [Read more...]
We booked a last-minute holiday to Ibiza – was it worth it?
We unexpectedly found ourselves with a few spare days recently, so obviously the sensible thing to do was to book a last-minute holiday to Ibiza. 😂Because the holiday hadn't been planned, we didn't have a huge budget set aside for it and we didn't have months to save up any extra spending money. That meant we were looking for something where as much as possible was included in the price we paid upfront.We weren't necessarily looking for the absolute cheapest holiday we could find though. There are some things that are important to us when we travel and I'm happy to pay a … [Read more...]
10 Family Days Out for Under £10 This Autumn….
Autumn is probably one of my favourite times of year for getting out and about as a family because you really don’t need to spend much to have a good day. Give me a chilly day, a big jumper and somewhere with lots of crunchy leaves and I’m happy. 😂Over the years we’ve done loads of little Autumn days out that have cost us next to nothing, so I thought I’d share a few of our favourites. Most of these are completely free and even the ones that do cost something should easily come in at under £10 if you take your own drinks and snacks with you.1. Go for a leaf collecting … [Read more...]
Disney World 14-Day Magic Ticket for 2027: Is It Good Value for UK Families?
If you're planning a Disney World holiday for 2027 then there's a good chance you've already come across the 14-Day Magic Ticket, especially if you're planning to go for a couple of weeks like lots of UK families do.Disney tickets aren't cheap though, especially when you're buying for a whole family, so it's definitely worth spending a bit of time working out exactly what you're getting for your money and, more importantly, whether you're actually going to use enough of the ticket to make it worthwhile.We've been to Disney World ourselves and I know how easy it is to get carried … [Read more...]
