I wrote this post originally to share my experience of a hemorrhoidectomy but I was really aware that it made the operation sound awful and I worried that it was one-sided and that other people's experiences might have been better.To balance it out, I asked people to share their own experiences of a hemorrhoidectomy in the comments and I'm so pleased to see so many of you sharing. People who have been through it have shared their experiences along with tips and ideas to try and make it easier. More than that though, they've shared how they felt which is so important as none of … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {10 February 2017}….
1) This is less frugal and more sensible I think but let's go with it! I went to pay some cheques in to the bank this week and out of interest, asked when they would be cleared. In no way did I indicate that I needed the money or that I was desperate for the funds to clear but the lady typed a few things into her little computer and then said 'Not until next Wednesday but I can increase your overdraft by £2000 for you no problem at all'.Really??? I just laughed and said no thank you at the time which I'm proud of as I do like the security of having an overdraft and in the past I would have … [Read more...]

Free Printable Uplifting Colouring Pages to lift your mood….
If I'm honest, the jury's still out here about whether I think colouring pages are actually relaxing or whether they make me more stressed as I worry about what colour to use where and whether I'm staying within the lines or not. I know lots of you love a good colouring session though so I decided to combine my love of happy motivational phrases with your love of colouring and make some uplifting colouring pages.My favourite thing about colouring is that I know that if I put a colouring page on the table with some coloured pens then at least one of the kids will turn up eventually and … [Read more...]
Homemade dough balls – easy and delicious….
Have you ever had a go at making your own homemade dough balls?We love making them because they're not only easy to make and delicious to eat, they're also really versatile. Our homemade dough balls work brilliantly with some melted garlic butter over the top but they're also a great treat if you serve them with some slightly melted nutella to dip them in. They taste great with meals like lasagne and pasta bakes and even as little mini burger buns with homemade mini burger (or even a chicken nugget or two).The recipe itself is our basic bread recipe which we use to make our homemade … [Read more...]
