Visiting Lake Como from Milan….
When we went to Milan recently we decided to have a little day trip to Lake Como as we'd heard it was a must-see for anyone visiting the area. There were plenty of organised trips that we could have booked but we decided to save money and make our own way there on the train.Our hotel shuttle bus dropped us off at Milan Central Station and as we didn't really have a clue where we were going or what we were doing, we headed to the ticket office to buy our tickets and find out where to get the train we needed.

Six ways to be supermarket savvy!
Like lots of people, I'd love to be able to shop in the local independent shops but I honestly just don't have the time to shop anywhere other than our local supermarket which is open longer hours than the local shops.More often than not, I do my shopping later on an evening when the kids have taken themselves off to their bedrooms to relax and chat with their friends on Facetime or on the Xbox. This means that I'm lucky enough to pick up some great bargains when I shop but I still have to keep a careful eye on what I buy as I'm one of those people who's easily seduced by a bargain - or … [Read more...]
