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. Do keep reading until the end this week as there's a cheeky giveaway to thank people for linking up with us.Before I start though, I do want to 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 - … [Read more...]
DIY Herb Garden….
I've made myself a cheeky little DIY herb garden and over the last few weeks, I've been inspired to cook more using the herbs I'm growing which in turn has meant more home cooked yummy meals for us!

So, June is shaping up to be a super exciting and super busy month so I think it's time to get back on track with Slimming World. ;-)I'd only just (re) joined Slimming World when my Dad died in March and life got a bit chaotic so I used that as an excuse to put off being good and sticking to the plan.I weighed myself yesterday and I've lost 1lb since that time so at least I know that whilst I haven't been good, at least I haven't been too bad.I've sat down and worked out my Slimming World meal plan for the week and yes, I know that to make it work long term, I need to get us … [Read more...]
