When my Dad died last year, there were a few things I struggled with aside from the obvious grief that I experienced. Today's post is a list of everyone you need to contact when someone dies.I was a little bit lost when my Dad died as far as getting organised and for a good week or so, aside from registering the death and getting the death certificate, I kind of put my head in the sand and didn't do any other paperwork. A top tip for registering the death is to get extra death certificates to save yourself time and money along the way - I bought six and needed them … [Read more...]
73 Things about ME….
OK, I've got something a bit different for you today. I'm going all old school blogging and joining in with the '73 things about me' post that's currently doing the rounds on various blogs.I haven't done anything like this in years but when I first started blogging they were the in thing to do but I've had lots of new followers lately so if nothing else, it's a chance to get to know me a little bit better. 1. What is your usual Starbuck’s order? Iced Chai Latte although I don't treat myself to one too often! There's a Starbucks in the building where I work that sells the drinks … [Read more...]
Apple and Honey Bran Muffins….
These Apple and Honey Bran Muffins really are lovely and they're definitely healthier than the average muffin!I remember when I was little, my Mam used to cook something with Kelloggs All-Bran but I have no clue what it was even though I can vividly remember her weighing out the All-Bran to go in it and I remember how much I enjoyed it just out of the oven. How odd is that?Every now and again, I have a go at making something with All-Bran in it in some sort of an attempt to recreate a childhood memory and last weekend, I had a go at making Apple and Honey Bran Muffins. They … [Read more...]
#BlastFromThePast – School Holiday Letters….
Every now and again, something happens to remind me of a post I’ve written at some point over the last 10 years or so that I’ve been blogging and I go back and dig out the post to have a quick read. Sometimes, I wish I could share the post all over again with you so I thought once a month I’d do exactly that and share an old post.Today’s post is about the traumas of Summer Holidays gone by but before I start, I should say that the reason I remembered about this post was that I was thinking about how the Summer Holidays have changed now that the kids are that bit older. At 16 … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {23 August 2019}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know that we were away on Monday and … [Read more...]
How to help your child become a Confident and Happy Traveller….
The moment I took the photo below was the moment I realised that Miss Frugal was a more confident and happy traveller than I am. We had just navigated our way across Heathrow to get from the gate where our internal flight landed to the gate where our flight to Los Angeles was departing from and she led the way the whole time.I was panicking about the short connection time we had, whether I'd need a wee while the seatbelt sign was on, if the passports were still where I'd put them in my bag, and whether the people in the posh seats would be dressed up smart (we got upgraded at the gate) but … [Read more...]
