I feel like this is absolutely the wrong time of year to be posting this! I started writing it way back when my tomato plants hadn't even started flowering and definitely before I was aware that my strawberry plants were going to give me a grand total of three strawberries before deciding they were done for the Summer! I didn't finish it off for some reason and now I just found it, half written and gathering dust in my drafts. I hovered over the delete button but decided I'd share it anyway in the hope that you might bookmark it and come back in six month's time when Spring arrives and … [Read more...]
Why Shower Door Quality Matters More Than You Might Think….
A shower door might look like a pretty simple part of the bathroom — just a piece of glass that opens and closes. But in reality, it’s doing quite a lot of work behind the scenes. I know this because this last week, we've been searching for shower doors ourselves and there is way more to think about than you would expect!The average shower door carries weight, moves on hinges or rollers, and has to deal with heat, steam and water every single day. Over time, that wear and tear can start to show if the door isn’t particularly well made. You’ve probably seen it … [Read more...]

The past few months been a bit tough here, and a couple of things that have happened have really made me stop and think about how I’ve been living and what needs to change going forward.

Even without the detail though, it's really important to me that you know that these aren't just words on your computer or phone screen, these are changes … [Read more...]
I bought a Crimpit {Pre-loved}….
A few years ago, I bought a CRIMPiT and completely fell in love with it. I loved it so much that I actually dedicated a whole blog post to the wonders of this little kitchen gadget (which you can still read if you fancy it). But for the quick version: a CRIMPiT is a simple tool that seals the filling inside a sandwich, which instantly makes it more versatile. Once it’s sealed, you can toast it, grill it, or crisp it up into a toastie filled with pretty much anything your heart desires. I used it loads when I was doing Slimming World. It worked brilliantly with those sandwich thins you can … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {6th March 2026}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey!So first up, I know that these weekly posts have been very few and far between for the last few months and there's a very good reason for that. I've not been very well and I've needed some time off work while I waited for an operation - nothing too dramatic but enough that it's wiped me out for a little while. I thought it was time to start them … [Read more...]
The Role of Play-Based Learning in an Early Years Nursery….
Play-based learning has emerged as the cornerstone of quality early childhood education, transforming how children engage with learning in their formative years. In an early years nursery setting, this educational approach recognises that children are naturally curious and learn best through hands-on exploration and discovery. Rather than traditional instruction methods, play-based learning allows young minds to develop essential skills whilst experiencing the joy and wonder of childhood.
