It's no secret that I'm a fan of meal planning - I even have a blog dedicated to all things meal planning related!I used to write my meal plans down in a notebook but I found it's actually easier to stick to if I have the week's meal plan on display where everyone can see it so today, I thought I'd share with you my favourite ways to display our weekly meal plan.I have a menu planner that I have up on my wall in the kitchen that we made a few years ago but it's looking a bit past it's best now so I may remake it using a different background paper - any wrapping paper is great for this … [Read more...]
Thrifty Thursday – Make money from old clothes….
Until last week, I didn't have proper wardrobes in our bedroom *hangs head in shame*.We always meant to buy some but we kept putting off buying them as we've been planning to get some fitted wardrobes installed since we moved in. It's never really been a top priority though and we've always had something else to spend our money on so the temporary wood and canvas wardrobes we bought when we moved in became less temporary and ended up staying for almost five years.Then my Dad bought some new wardrobes and arranged for his old ones (less than a year old) to be collected and delivered to … [Read more...]
#SaveMoneyMonday – Don’t miss out on rewards….
Mondays used to be #MoneyMakeover day on here but I think I've covered most things that you need to do to give your finances a decent overhaul and to be honest, I wanted to do something that would give me a chance to share some small tips with you so here we are - #SaveMoneyMonday.Each week #SaveMoneyMonday is going to feature one small way to save money in some form or another whether it's a freebie, a money saving top tip or a way to make some money and I'm starting this week with a reminder to you to always make the most of the rewards that some companies want to give you for being a … [Read more...]
Lost: My motivation. Please return if found….
This isn't going to be a whingey whiney post (at least I'm not planning it to be) but I'm struggling a little bit lately to keep on top of everything and I thought it might help to get it down here and come up with some sort of plan to get myself a little more organised which, in turn, will hopefully make me feel happier with myself.These little beauties are the first part of my plan:It's a box set of four little notebooks that I bought from Tesco a few weeks ago because they were just too pretty to leave on the shelf and until today, they've just been sitting on my kitchen shelf … [Read more...]
A clean house is the sign of a wasted life. Right?
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! I shared my tips for having a successful car boot sale a little while ago and if you're in the mood, this weekend actually looks like it'll be a great time to do one weather wise! But my post today isn't about having a car boot sale, or even making money … [Read more...]
