I've written before calculating your monthly budget using my free printable budget planner but today I wanted to try and help with some advice about what you can do if you don't have enough money coming in each month to cover what you're paying out and you can't afford to pay your bills.I'm by no means an expert on this subject but I do know that if you realise that you don't have enough money to pay bills then you need to take action - sooner rather than later. I know that this might seem like a bit of an obvious thing to say but from experience (work not personal) I know that some … [Read more...]
OK Monday, let’s do this! 7 things to cheer you up on a miserable Monday Morning….
I don't know about you but I find Monday mornings are the hardest morning of the whole week, especially when it's still dark outside when we're waking up! The kids definitely seem to be grouchier and harder to get out of bed on a Monday and I always ending up hitting that snooze button one time too many on a Monday which leaves me feeling no less tired and if anything, more grumpy than I would have been as I've had more time in bed to think about how much I hate Mondays!Last week was worse than usual as I was feeling ill on the Sunday night so I relied on the kids to get everything … [Read more...]
How I’m Learning to Love my Camera again….
I love taking photos but I'm far from being any good at it and even though I have a brilliant DSLR camera, I have no idea how to use it outside of the manual mode which is such a shame as it's capable of taking much better photos than I currently take with it!I've lost count of the number of times that I say I'm going to learn to take better photos and then done nothing about it and the fact that I feel like my photos aren't as good as they could be has taken the shine off using my camera a little bit for me - so much so that I can't even remember the last time I used it.I've been … [Read more...]
Healthy homemade slow cooker tomato sauce recipe {and 7 things to do with it}….
Today I'm going to share with you my healthy homemade slow cooker tomato sauce recipe. There are lots of reasons why I love my recipe for slow cooker tomato sauce and why I think you'll love it too - it's cheap, it's versatile, it takes two minutes to prepare and most importantly, it tastes delicious!I generally make it using things I already have in the house so the ingredients like the garlic, chilli and basil are often from my spice rack rather than being fresh but that's just because I have it in already - you can substitute anything you need to. You can also adjust the quantities … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {5th February 2016}….
1) One of the things I wanted to do this year was take care of myself a little bit better and start making time for me and I'm really trying to stick to that. I'm really pleased with my progress at Slimming World and I'm feeling quote good about myself at the moment even though I've got a LONG way to go.As part of my new 'me' regime I bought myself some new nail varnishes and a new lipgloss from our local Pounstretchers - not bad for a pound each!2) If you pay your council tax over 10 months then this month and next are no council tax months (or at least they are for us). In the … [Read more...]
How we made beautiful wall art from some very special buttons….
My Mam died 10 years ago last November but Miss Frugal still remembers her and has some very vague but happy memories of some of the things they used to do together.One of the things they used to do was play with my Mam's button box which was filled with buttons of all shapes and sizes. They used them to learn colours, to learn to count and every now and again as a treat my my would thread a big needle and very carefully help Miss Frugal to sew a little bit.When my Mam died, I brought the buttons home with us because I knew how much Miss Frugal enjoyed playing with them but she never … [Read more...]
