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. ;-)1) What have I done this week to help future us enjoy their retirement? Not … [Read more...]
Make Money Online – Easily earn £200+ with 20Cogs…

Do you want to know a cheeky little secret about how to get cheaper car insurance? Before I share the secret on how to get cheaper car insurance, let me tell you why I'm a bit car insurance mad at the moment.

What to do when someone dies….
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.
