We're actually away right now which isn't very money saving but we did do a few things to keep the price of our break way down so I thought I'd tell you about them today....1) We've managed to get away a few times this year thanks to a LOT of shopping around and some flexibility with airports and dates. Our holiday to Milan earlier this year cost us a little over £400 in a 4* hotel because we looked at airports we wouldn't usually flight from, in this case Edinburgh. This time, we booked in advance and looked nationwide so we might be flying from Heathrow but we got return flights for the … [Read more...]
Five reasons why you don’t meal plan….
If you already plan your meals in advance then this post probably isn't for you but if you don't you really should read on because planning your meals will save you time and money every single week!1) I don't have time! OK, I get that meal planning can take a little bit of time once a week but it's totally worth it for the time you save during the rest of the week.I spend about twenty minutes on a Sunday morning having a quick look at what food we already have in and writing a meal plan based on that which I then use to write my shopping list.That extra time on a Sunday morning … [Read more...]
10 of the Best Halloween Movies for Kids….
If you're looking for some ideas on some great Halloween movies for kids then you're definitely in the right place today!One of our favorite things to do at Halloween is to sit and watch a spooky movie together.Over the years, the types of films that my two like to watch have gone from kid friendly slightly spooky films to full on (mild) horror films and there's nothing they like better than watching a horror snuggled under a blanket with the lights out!Saying that though, they do still enjoy a good old fashioned family Halloween movie every now and again so today, I thought … [Read more...]
Why you should NOT give your children a piggy bank….
Today I'm going to tell you exactly why I don't think you should give your children a piggy bank if you want to encourage them to save!I should say before I start that all children are different and this is my opinion based on my experience of my two who are great little savers. ;-)Both of my children are brilliant at saving, Miss Frugal especially although I think that's more because she's older and gets more money each month, therefore has more money to save. When we booked to go to New York, she saved more money than I managed to with a combination of pocketmoney, babysitting … [Read more...]
Pinterest made Easy: an e-course to help bloggers master Pinterest….
I'm a little bit nervous today about sharing my Pinterest made Easy e-course with you so I might need someone to hold my hand and maybe give me an 'I've been brave today' sticker!Today I'm launching my brand new e-course - Pinterest Made Easy!I've wanted to write this course for a little while now but really, I've been a bit scared to because there are already quite a few Pinterest courses on the market and some of them are pretty expensive. In my eyes, there's no way that anything I can tell you about Pinterest would justify a price tag of £100+ so I just didn't bother and I … [Read more...]
The Festival of Thrift 2017
Every year for the past four or five years we've visited the brilliant Festival of Thrift. Here's what we thought of this year's festival....The Festival of Thrift has been held every year for the last four or five years and I've been going since the second year it was held so it feels like a bit of an annual event now. It's quite a hard event to describe but the idea behind the festival is that it's the UK's first large-scale festival of sustainable living and every year it just seems to be getting bigger and more successful.It's such an eclectic mix of stalls, workshops and … [Read more...]
