Last week I had to scan some receipts so I could claim back some expenses so off I headed to the garage (our printer/scanner is in the garage as I like it tidy and out of the way) but it wouldn't turn on for some reason which wasn't particularly convenient as I was already late sending the receipts off.I poked the scanner a bit, turned it on and off and did what anyone with my level of technical knowledge would do - I sighed dramatically and stormed back into the house!I then had a bit of a whinge on Facebook (as you do) and someone suggested that I just download a scanning app!Why … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {2nd November 2015}….
Can you believe it's November already?It's been pretty mild here again so we've still not got around to putting the heating on but I suspect that the weather's going to turn soon and I'm guessing it'll be a different story this time next week! I'm hoping that the mild weather holds for next weekend though as we're planning a cheeky weekend away if we can get something booked.Here's what we'll be eating this week if all goes according to plan....As always, I won't bore you with the specifics of every meal but there's a couple of things I will tell you about:Toad in the hole … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {30th October 2015}….
I always find it hard to be frugal and thrifty when the kids are off school but this week's been easier than usual as it's been a bit of a chill out week for the kids and we haven't done much at all.1. First of all I have an update to one of last week's five frugal things. My new settee is in place and looking very lovely if I do say so myself....I briefly mentioned my cushion bargains in this week's bargain of the week post but just in case you missed it, I wanted to share my cushion bargains with you. I went to Tesco and Asda on the night that I got the sofa as I was so excited … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {26th October 2015}….
It's half term here this week so I imagine that this week's plan will change a little bit but here's what I'd like to think we'll be having....As always, I won't bore you with the specifics of every meal but there's a couple of things I will tell you about:Chicken Surprise is what I like to call it when I know we'll be having chicken but I have no idea how we'll be having it.

Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {24th October 2015}….
I usually sit down on a Friday afternoon after work and have a good think about what I've done that week to try and be more frugal and thrifty that's interesting enough to be included in that week's Five Frugal Things post.I didn't get chance last night though as I was too busy doing number 1 on my list, so I'm a day late but here's my five frugal things for this week....1) I got a new settee which is usually not very frugal but this one was given to me by my Dad as he bought it for himself not long ago and has now decided that it's too big for his Living Room. It's immaculate and … [Read more...]
11 tricks and tips to help you save money on your make-up….
Before I had children I was a bit of a makeup addict - forever searching for a lipstick that really would last all day and a mascara that wouldn't smudge and leave me looking like a panda before lunch. I remember my makeup bag being filled with all sorts of things - all promising to make me look beautiful and looking back, I bet I probably spent a small fortune on the contents of it.Then along came the kids and my priority was no longer trying to look good. It was enough sometimes just to make it out of bed and get dressed when they were both toddlers so managing to find the time to … [Read more...]
