These pink gin gummy bears were absolutely not planned but they went down a storm with my friends so they were a happy 'accident'.Basically, my plan was to have a second go at making some fruit juice gummy bears after I completely messed up the first attempt by calculating my liquid:gelatin ratio. I got as far as getting the orange juice out of the fridge and the gummy bear moulds out of the cupboard and then it all went wrong.I ended up pouring myself a drink of the orange juice and deciding to make pink gin gummy bears instead as they sounded much more fun to make (and … [Read more...]

#MealPlanningMonday – the super frugal week….
This week's meal plan is super-frugal, or at least it is to us.I'm not going to lie, this last month or so has been ridiculous for unexpected expenses so we're really trying hard to cut our costs in any way possible this month and one way we're doing that is with our meal plans.I worked out this week's meal plan, as you always should, based on what we had in to use up and I didn't add in any meals that we didn't have at least one ingredient in the house already.

Wynyard Hall Gardens in the Summer…
A couple of years ago, I shared some photos from our visit to the lovely Wynyard Hall gardens but because of the time of year we visited, the gardens weren't at their best. Today, I wanted to share some pictures of the gardens in the Summer...A couple of week's ago on Instagram, I shared a post about how much I'm enjoying taking photos of all things plants and flowers lately.

Five Frugal Things we did this week {5 July 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. ;-)1) I made Spanish Chicken this week for the first time and I decided to use chicken … [Read more...]
