1. I've up-cycled a cake board into a memo board this week which saved me throwing away the cake board! You can have a read about how I did it here if you fancy having a go yourself.2. We're now into our second week of feeling under the weather but I'm pleased to say that we have (almost) stuck to our meal plan which is no mean feat when you have as little energy as I've had this week! There was one night when I replaced what we had planned for dippy egg and soldiers because I just couldn't face cooking (or actually leaving the sofa for more than two minutes to be honest) but for the … [Read more...]
How to plan an amazing family holiday on a budget….
One of my favourite things to do when I have a few minutes spare it planning a holiday for my family - I'm already working on next Summer's as we all have two week's off together for only the second time since the kids started school!As you probably know, part of the reason I started writing this blog is so that we can have a record of my kids’ lives throughout their childhood that they can treasure and look back upon when they are adults. While I love to save pennies and quid on groceries, delicious recipes, technology and clothes shopping, I also want to share the lovely experience … [Read more...]

Do you have unlimited data on your iPhone?If you don't then you really need to read this post as I've just been told about a cheeky new feature that's used more of my data in a couple of days than I usually use in a week!I only found out about it because I mentioned to someone at work that my phone seemed to be using much more data than normal since I updated it and they told me that Apple added a new feature called WiFi assist in the last update.Basically, WiFi assist means that if your WiFi strength isn't great then your phone will switch seamlessly from WiFi to using your data … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {25th September 2015}….
1. We've had a week without shopping this week as we've been using up the random bits of food and leftovers that we have in already. It's made for some very random meals but we've got a half empty freezer now so I've made space for some more reduced supermarket bargains.2.

8 reasons why you don’t need to turn your heating on in September….
The temperatures taken a bit of a nosedive here in the last week or so and there's been a few times when my finger's been hovering over the thermostat while I've considered whether to turn the heating on.I've managed to resist the temptation so far though but I thought I'd remind myself (and you) why we don't need to switch our central heating on in September.... It's not really that cold yet! I'm not the sort of person who will sit in the cold with a hot water bottle and layers of socks, jumpers and blankets on to keep myself warm so f it's cold, I'll put the heating on. But it's not … [Read more...]

What on earth did we do before the internet came along?I hope I'm not alone in saying this but I would be lost without access to the internet, I really would be!I use it for all sorts of things - from answering those random questions that pop into my head during the day to finding a recipe for tea using only what we have in the cupboard and from helping the kids with their homework to keeping up with friends, old and new.One of the big things I use the internet for is to help me save money on an almost daily basis because it gives me access to so much information, so many ideas on … [Read more...]
