I definitely wasn't blessed with many baking skills so all I'll say about the homemade rainbow layer Birthday cake is that if I can make it, you certainly can!(This post may contain affiliate links - I'm just putting it out there so you know. You pay the exactly the same price but I'll get a few pennies too)I blame Pinterest for making me want to be one of those Mum's who whips out a beautifully decorated cake at a Birthday party filled with teenagers who probably would have been just as happy with a shop bought Colin the caterpillar cake! There I was innocently browsing through … [Read more...]
Great things never come from comfort zones….
This weekend I did something that was so far outside of my comfort zone that I genuinely considered not doing it! The fact that I did it was a bit of a game changer for me - here's why....I know the title of this post sounds very deep and philosophical - not like me at all - but I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself right now so I hope you can forgive the odd motivational quote or two. ;-)So, back in April, the UK Money Bloggers annual blogging conference and awards were announced. I was away for last year's even but honestly, even if I hadn't have been, I probably wouldn't have … [Read more...]
Why I’m proud that my teenager has two designer handbags….
I thought long and hard about whether to post this because I know some of you will be shaking your head right now and thinking how bad it is that my teenage daughter has two designer handbags. I bet lots of you will have your finger hovering over the cross on the right hand side of the page ready to move on to something that really is frugal rather than this 'waste of money' and that's OK.But I'd rather you stayed to listen to why I'm proud and why it really isn't a bad thing.((This post may contain affiliate links - I'm just putting it out there so you know.

Five places to find money off coupons and vouchers….
Have you ever wondered where that person in front of you in the supermarket queue got all of the discount coupons and vouchers from?I always used to wonder where I could find all of these amazing money off coupons and vouchers so a while ago, I decided to find out....Ashleigh Moneysaver has a great section on her site which is pretty much jam packed with money off coupons and discount vouchers. It looks like someone spends a fair amount of time keeping it up to date so it's well worth checking on there before you go shopping. Supermarket free magazines always have a great … [Read more...]
Are Playground Politics really a thing?
Are playground politics really that big a deal? I don't think it is....As kids up and down the country settle back into school, many parents are already starting to post on social media about their experiences with the playground politics involving the 'school gate mafia' and the mums in their tight cliques who spend their time looking down their noses at everyone.I get that there'll always be the odd trouble causer or the person who you really can't get along with, that's just the way the world works but I wanted to share my experience with you so you might look at the groups you … [Read more...]
