I'm not going to lie, Fathers Day has been the furthest thing from my mind this week and in typical me fashion, I now have one day to sort a present. I also have two uncooperative children who have other plans for today meaning that a homemade gift is out of the question unless I make it myself and that's kind of not the point is it?So, while they're both out and about today I've asked them to get their Dad something they know he'll like to present to him tomorrow. This could turn out disastrously wrong or it could be quite sweet but I'll let you know either way.We don't really go … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {16th June 2017}….
1) Last weekend poor little Buddy was scratching himself a lot and was clearly uncomfortable so I called the vets in town and got an appointment for him to see what was going on. Our vets charge £29 for an appointment plus extra for any necessary medication so when I found out he had a bacterial infection that was going to need steroids and antibiotics as well as at least one follow up appointment I knew I was looking at an expensive bill. The receptionist mentioned a monthly care plan that I could take for him which would give me unlimited appointments for free along with free worming and … [Read more...]
The simple way to set up canned responses in Outlook….
How to set up canned responses in OutlookAs a blogger I get a lot of emails every day and whilst I know that's a good thing and not something to complain about I must admit that I find it hard sometimes to keep on top of my inbox as reply to everyone who needs a reply.I'm an Outlook fan and have used it for years but when I had seemingly un-fixable issues with my emails no longer syncing to Outlook on my laptop, I joined the dark side and moved over to Gmail.I'll be honest, I'm really not a fan of Gmail though and I struggled to get to grips with using it - it's not that it's … [Read more...]
Free Monthly ‘No Spend Days’ Printable Tracker….
No Spend Days How many days a week are there where you can honestly say that you haven't spent a single penny?I bet there's not too many because, most of the time, it's actually quite a hard thing to do unless you really focus on it. But if you could manage just a couple of days each week where you make a conscious effort not to spend any money at all then imagine what you could do with the money you save.I've written before about how we make no spend days work for us as a family so I won't go into too much detail today but basically, on a day I want to be a no spend day, I'll try … [Read more...]
White Chocolate Matcha Blondies….
I've shared a couple of different Matcha recipes with you over the last year or so but today is my favourite one yet! It's adapted from the recipe for Matcha Blondies that I found in 'The Book of Matcha' that the lovely people at TeaPigs sent me a couple of weeks ago.It's adapted because I didn't have brown sugar and eggs in so I made a few little tweaks so I didn't have to pop to the shop and it turned out gorgeous so I thought I'd share my version with you....White Chocolate Matcha Blondies 200g butter 200g white chocolate chips 125g soft brown sugar 125g sugar 2 large … [Read more...]
Our Sunday Afternoon Tradition….
We've got into a bit of a habit lately of going for a walk on a Sunday afternoon after our tea.We try to go somewhere different each week and usually head wherever we're going in the car rather than just walk him close to home like we do that every other night. Tonight, we had a lovely walk around the Riverside Football Stadium and along the banks of the River Tees.We had a lovely walk around the stadium and as always, the kids took the football and had a good kick about in the area around the stadium which is always deserted when we visit on a Sunday evening! After … [Read more...]
