Homemade blackberry Vinegar is a great way to use up leftover blackberries, which I always have when we go blackberry picking as we never fail to pick more than we need!I bet you're wondering what blackberry vinegar is though, aren't you?Well, it's nothing fancy, it's literally blackberry infused vinegar but it makes an amazing salad dressing and is said to ward off a cold if you drink a teaspoon a day in hot water when you feel the cold coming on. I can vouch for the first one but the second, I suspect is nothing more than an old wives tale although I'll try anything to stop a … [Read more...]

Our half yearly budget review….
Every six month's or so, we sit down and do a full-on review of our monthly budget review which I usually share a bit about in my weekly five frugal things post but this time, I thought I'd do a whole post about it.Before I start though, I would say that our budget is looking good right now but it's taken years to get to this point from where we were when we started our frugal journey and I'm super proud of us!

Homemade Shake n Vac….
Today I'm going all nostalgic on you and sharing some TV ads from my youth which I bet lots of you of a certain age will remember just as well as I do. The reason I'm sharing them is that I've made a batch of my own homemade Shake n Vac and the whole time I was making and using it, I couldn't help but sing the song.In fact, aside from the milky way advert with the two cars racing each other, the only other advert I can remember from when I was growing up is the Glade Shake n Vac one.
