Happy 1st March!At the end of last year, I decided that it would be a nice idea to do a post once a month giving you a bit of an update on our lives. I added a reminder to my calendar for the first of every month and planned to share a round-up of all the fun we've had as a family throughout the month.January's update wasn't as much family fun as is was struggling to get through the month but I had high hopes for February's update post as we had a good five days with everyone free of the lurgy at the end of January.Let's see how we got on shall we?Last month I reported how … [Read more...]
Slow down and Simplify Life….
Back in January, I shared a post that I called 35 ways to slow down and simplify your life. I realise now that sharing so many ways to slow down and simplify life could be a bit counter-productive so I thought I'd dial it down a bit and share the five most important (to me) ways that are easy to get started with...With the ever-growing demand to be busy in life, it’s no wonder more and more people are feeling overwhelmed. Stress has taken over people in society and it’s unacceptable. Life simply seems too busy sometimes and then everything seems to get out of control. While life will … [Read more...]
What we ate in a week {February 2018}….
Today I'm sharing the third post in my 'What we ate in a week' series!The plan with these posts is that I start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and just update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day. It worked pretty well so far so let's see if I'm as good this time... MondayToday we had slow cooker turkey chilli which we prefer to normal beef chilli these days. It's hard to describe the difference that using turkey mince makes to the meal but it's delicious. It's not as heavy if that makes sense. TuesdayTonight's … [Read more...]
35 Things to do with the kids at Easter….
The Easter Holidays are fast approaching so I thought I'd share some ideas on things to do with the kids at Easter...After a Christmas filled with germs and bugs and a half term where we were pretty much wiped out after a start to the year filled with sniffles, coughs and sneezes, we're determined to make the most of the Easter holidays!We plan to get out and about as much as possible but knowing the British weather, we also have lots of ideas for indoor fun ready to go too... You can never go wrong with making a bored jar. Or you could make your own Easter Egg hunt for the … [Read more...]
Today’s Bargain Beauty Haul….
Today, I popped into town with Miss Frugal to track down some reasonably priced thermals ready for when she goes skiing with the school next month and although we didn't manage to find thermals, I did manage to pick up some quite good little beauty bargains that I thought you might be interested in. Tanya Burr Cosmetics BargainsI've heard good things about the Tanya Burr lipsticks so when I saw them reduced from £6.99 to 99p in our local Superdrug I was all over it! I went for 'Sunday Walk' and because I loved it so much and it was such a bargain, I bought two. It's a lovely nude colour … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {23rd February 2018}….
1) I love starting these posts with some lovely bargain flowers whenever I can because I just love having fresh flowers in my house. I tend to pop to the shop for them specifically on a night specifically through the week and I try not to pay for than a pound or two for the flowers that I buy. I seem to have mastered the timing for our local supermarket to get there just after they do the last reductions which is around 7.30 in the evening for my shop.This is actually 3 bunches of daffodils that were reduced to 25p a bunch.I used to think of fresh flowers as a waste of money but … [Read more...]
