1) Last weekend poor little Buddy was scratching himself a lot and was clearly uncomfortable so I called the vets in town and got an appointment for him to see what was going on. Our vets charge £29 for an appointment plus extra for any necessary medication so when I found out he had a bacterial infection that was going to need steroids and antibiotics as well as at least one follow up appointment I knew I was looking at an expensive bill. The receptionist mentioned a monthly care plan that I could take for him which would give me unlimited appointments for free along with free worming and … [Read more...]
Free Monthly ‘No Spend Days’ Printable Tracker….
No Spend Days How many days a week are there where you can honestly say that you haven't spent a single penny?I bet there's not too many because, most of the time, it's actually quite a hard thing to do unless you really focus on it. But if you could manage just a couple of days each week where you make a conscious effort not to spend any money at all then imagine what you could do with the money you save.I've written before about how we make no spend days work for us as a family so I won't go into too much detail today but basically, on a day I want to be a no spend day, I'll try … [Read more...]

The price included everything but transfers and insurance (which we … [Read more...]
11 complete wastes of money (and how to avoid them)….
Do you waste money?I bet most of you said no to that question but I wonder if your answer will be the same after you've read this list of 11 ways that people waste money every day....Food Waste is a big one because, according to the stats from Love Food Hate Waste, families in the UK thow away around 7 million tonnes of food and drink from our homes every single year and and at least half of this could have been eaten.

Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {2nd June 2017}….
1) We renewed our family railcard earlier in the week when we decided at the last minute to travel to Edinburgh airport by train rather than drive. The family railcard took the price of the rail travel down from £220 to £120 so it was definitely a worthwhile purchase, especially considering we need to travel by rail to Gatwick in October.We love travelling by train as it's so much more relaxing than driving and we have much more space - and we don't have to stop every half an hour when one of us needs a wee!2) I had a lovely wander around the charity shops last weekend and I … [Read more...]
Are you missing out of free money when you shop?
Everyone raise your hand if you shop at Asda.Now, keep your hands raised if you know about the Asda price guarantee AND actually use it to check your receipts after you've shopped with them?I bet there's not too many of you left with your hands in the air is there?OK, I know you probably didn't raise your hands there but you get my point I hope.
