So, since I'm a nice person (honest) and I don't want you missing out on the chance to try this delicious meal I thought I'd share it with you today.It's great as a replacement for your local Chinese takeaway to save some money but it's also great for anyone who's doing Slimming … [Read more...]
The Festival of Thrift 2016….
Last weekend was our annual family trip to the Festival of Thrift which is an amazing festival held in the North East every September all about living sustainably with style which is right up my street.We go to the Festival of Thrift every year and I've always had an amazing day so I was really looking forward to visiting again although this year I didn't book into any of the classes or workshops as I wasn't sure if I'd be up to joining in with them when they were released over the Summer. I totally wished I had booked a couple though as the jam making and upcycling ones looked like so … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {16th September 2016}….
1) I'm so excited about this one - after living in our house for six years we are finally getting the bathroom flooring replaced! It's needed doing for such a long time but I thought it would be much more expensive than it actually can be done for so we kept putting it off. You might have read my September goals post where I decided that one of my goals was to at least look into all of the things I wanted doing and this was the first thing. We popped along to a local store with the measurements of our three bathrooms (sounds way posher than it is - one's a teeny space downstairs and ones an … [Read more...]

Overnight Oats – what’s all the fuss is about?
Overnight Oats is my new favourite breakfast! It's filling, tasty and thanks to the fact that you make it the night before, it's also super quick on a morning when I'm rushing about. I can even pop it into my bag and eat it at work if I'm running late (which I often am). You can even make it Slimming World friendly.Overnight oats are something that I've heard about so many times both from fellow mums who want an easy breakfast option and from friends on Slimming World who swear by them for an easy but filling breakfast.Until a couple of week's ago, I'd never tried them because … [Read more...]
