Every year for the past four or five years we've visited the brilliant Festival of Thrift. Here's what we thought of this year's festival....The Festival of Thrift has been held every year for the last four or five years and I've been going since the second year it was held so it feels like a bit of an annual event now. It's quite a hard event to describe but the idea behind the festival is that it's the UK's first large-scale festival of sustainable living and every year it just seems to be getting bigger and more successful.It's such an eclectic mix of stalls, workshops and … [Read more...]
Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup {Healthy, Delicious and great for Slimming World}….
This Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato soup has been in my top ten posts every single day since I published it way back in January 2016 and since I'm making a batch for the freezer right now, I thought I'd share it with you again today!Remember I told you that my favourite Christmas present last year was a soup maker?Well, the novelty hasn't worn off and I'm using it just as often as I predicted I would when I first wrote about it.Most soups that I make in there don't really have a recipe that I can share with you because more often than not, I literally just … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {29th September 2017}….
1) This week we've been really trying to focus on No Spend Days and we've managed 3 since Sunday which is great for us - it would have been more but we had an unexpected school trip to pay for and I wanted to buy some flowers this morning as it would have been my brother's Birthday today. Tomorrow won't be a no spend day as I need to pop to the shop to get some things for our holiday next week but 3 out of 7 will do me for this week.If you want to focus on No Spend Days then I have a little no spend tracker you might like to use here.2) I've topped up my Kindle with free books … [Read more...]
How I updated my kitchen on a £10 budget….
Could your kitchen do with a bit of a refresh? I've just given my kitchen a super quick, super cheap budget makeover and I'm so pleased with it!We've got a few things that we want doing around the house over the next few months and to be honest, the kitchen wasn't even on my makeover radar until lovely Mr Frugal got out the paint one Friday night a few weeks ago and painted it a lovely clean white for me. We haven't painted it since we moved in so it was in desperate need of a refresh and seeing it look all white and lovely makes me very happy!We do have bigger plans for the … [Read more...]
Homemade Rainbow Layer Birthday Cake….
I definitely wasn't blessed with many baking skills so all I'll say about the homemade rainbow layer Birthday cake is that if I can make it, you certainly can!(This post may contain affiliate links - I'm just putting it out there so you know. You pay the exactly the same price but I'll get a few pennies too)I blame Pinterest for making me want to be one of those Mum's who whips out a beautifully decorated cake at a Birthday party filled with teenagers who probably would have been just as happy with a shop bought Colin the caterpillar cake! There I was innocently browsing through … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {22nd September 2017}….
1) I've been wanting to go back to Slimming World for ages now but I kept finding a reason not to and saying that I would just do it without actually joining up which is all well and good but without the motivation of a set weekly weigh in I'm just no good. I've been doing it myself for the last few weeks but struggling a little so I finally bit the bullet and signed up to the online membership. Before I did though, I searched for a discount code online and got £35 off a three month membership- yes, I went long term because I *think* I'm more likely to stick to it longer if I've paid for it. … [Read more...]
