We've all heard (and some have probably used) the phrase ' A clean house is the sign of a wasted life' haven't we?And what about this one?Both great mottos for life and I actually kind of agree with both of them if I'm honest. But, even though there's nothing wrong with a bit of dust on the TV cabinet or a carpet that needs a bit of a hoover or even a skirting board that needs a clean, I do always feel happier if things are clean and sparkly as well as tidy.I'be been introducing more things to help me keep on top of a clean and tidy house lately and it seems to be working … [Read more...]
Freecycle – One man’s trash is another man’s treasure….
I do love that saying - One mans trash is another man's treasure!It never fails to astound me just how true that really is as we've learned at the various car boot sales that we've done over the years. The things we think will never sell in a million years are often the things that sell first and make the most money!

But my post today isn't about having a car boot sale, or even making money … [Read more...]

Thrifty Thursday – Be prepared with a present bag….
Anyone with children will know that it's inevitable that they'll be invited to birthday parties of their school friends throughout they year - we had three in one weekend last year! I hate giving children money in a card for a present, even though that's clearly the easiest option but at the same time, to buy a nice little present for them isn't always cheap.So, a few years ago I started to stockpile presents and gifts that I saw on offer throughout the year, especially in the sales at the start of the year. I keep mine in one of those Orla Kiely Bags from Tesco which looks very pretty on … [Read more...]
