I apologise for the lack of Christmas Spirit in this post, writing a will is something that's been on my mind for a while for a couple of reasons...This year hasn't been the easiest year for us as a family if I'm honest.My dad's been quite unwell and it's been heartbreaking to see him deteriorate so quickly. He's just recovering from a second hip replacement surgery and is definitely not the same old Dad that I'm used to these days.I'm not going to get into it too much but I will say that this year has made me even more aware than ever that we're not here forever and that it's … [Read more...]
Christmas Waffle Recipe….
This amazing Christmas Waffle Recipe genuinely tastes of Christmas and I guarantee you're going to love it if you try it!Life is generally too busy for us to manage to have a sit-down family breakfast but every now and again, we manage a Sunday morning where we're all at home with no friends sleeping over and no work commitments. Those mornings are my favourite Sunday mornings because I just potter about the kitchen in my pyjamas and take my time making a lovely family breakfast for us all to enjoy together.We managed one of those mornings yesterday and this is what I … [Read more...]
How (not to) organise a photo wall or photo shelf….
We've had an amazing year for travel this year as a family and I really wanted to print out some of our photos to showcase some of our adventures. Jen suggested a photo shelf on the back wall of my kitchen would be nice so off I popped to IKEA to pick up a couple of them and some photo frames to use on the shelf.I love, love, love how it looks now but I'll be honest, it did take me a week and a couple of attempts to get it right! I thought you might like to see the step by step process in case you want to make your own photo shelf or wall....(Top tip - before following these … [Read more...]
Girls Christmas Shopping Day in London….
We're huge fans of rail travel and over the years, I've shared so many of our train journeys with you. Last weekend was one of my favourite train journeys yet...Miss Frugal and I, along with one of her friends, decided to have a bit of a cheeky Christmas shopping day in London to mark the start of December. The men of the house decided that a shopping day in London was definitely not something they wanted to do so they stayed at home and did boy stuff (not sure what but it involved football, gaming and McDonalds).You might think we were a bit mad braving London on the first weekend … [Read more...]
The Christmas tag – What I love most about Christmas….
The lovely Becky tagged me in the Christmas tag post that's doing the rounds at the moment and seeing as I love all things Christmas, I thought I'd join in and share a post of my own with you all to tell you what I love most about Christmas...What’s Your Favourite Christmas Movie? We have a bit of a family tradition of watching Christmas movies together every Christmas Eve so even though Elf is my favourite ever Christmas movie, I do have some very happy memories of snuggling with the kids on Christmas Eve and watching films like Santa Paws and Santa Claus the Movie. Have You Ever Had … [Read more...]
Fifty Ways to have a frugal but fun Christmas….
You honestly don't have to spend a lot of money to have a great Christmas so I thought that I'd share with you 50 ways that you can have an amazing Christmas on a budget with you today!Every year I hear about the amount of money people spend and read stories of people who are still paying off their Christmas debt halfway to next Christmas and it makes me sad. Not sad because of how much is money is actually spent because I totally get people who spend more than they probably should (I may occasionally be guilty of this) and ultimately, it's their money to spend how they want.No, … [Read more...]
