Oh Dear! As far as Slimming World goes, 'oh dear' pretty much sums up my week as I was determined to enjoy my holiday in New York as much as possible so I rather generously gave myself a week off Slimming World.I've had an amazing week away with the kids though and although I know I could have made the effort and eaten much better than I actually did, I don't feel disappointed with myself in any way because I made a conscious decision to not stick to plan and to work extra hard when I got back to lose whatever I put on.When I stepped on the scales this … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did in New York this week {22 February 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.I've been in New York this week with the kids and although I get that New York isn't really a budget holiday destination, indeed some of you might not consider a holiday of any sort to be frugal, but to me, things like this are what make all the saving and counting the cost of things worthwhile. We've really tried hard to stick to a pretty strict budget over the week and … [Read more...]
Five Days in New York on a budget – Day 2….
We've now been home from our amazing trip to New York for a few days now and I definitely have post-holiday blues right now so I thought today would be a good day to share our second day with you If you've had a chance to read my last post, you'll know was a holiday we booked pretty last minute so didn't get the chance to save as much spending money as we would have liked. Day two of our trip was the busiest by far as we did two days worth of things in just the one day. We decided to head to Dumbo in Brooklyn for our second day and rather than get an … [Read more...]
Five Days in New York on a budget – Day 1….
If you follow me over on Instagram then you'll know that right now, I'm in New York with the kids.I've mentioned a couple of times that I'm a bit of a strict budget and so many of you have messaged me to ask me what we're getting up to if I don't have much money to spend so I thought I'd share our days with you.Before I do though, for those of you who don't know, we booked this trip last minute after a few life dramas last year, we paid for it using money we'd saved for a boiler in our Emergency Fund (I know, not the cleverest thing to do) and we didn't really have much time to … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {15 February 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) If all has gone according to plan, I'm on a plane heading to New York as this post … [Read more...]
How to make a tote bag from a T-Shirt….
OK, so I know this one won't be for everyone but today I wanted to show you how you can make a tote bag from a T-shirt as well as share a few other alternatives to plastic shopping bags with you.I'm really trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle and wherever possible, I'm cutting down on the use of plastics in our household - specifically non-recyclable single-use plastics. I'll probably get all preachy about that in another post one of these days but for today I wanted to share a few alternatives to plastic shopping bags and show you how to make a tote bag from a … [Read more...]
