Lots of people swear by their Dyson and whenever they buy a new hoover, the Dyson range is the first (and often only) place that they will look. I used to be a Dyson fan too, until I tried a Shark hoover!We first reviewed a Shark hoover last year when we reviewed the Shark Lift Away Hoover (which is actually reduced to £179.99 on Amazon right now aff link). I struggled to see how it could possibly be better than the hoover we had at the time and almost said no to the review for that reason - until I saw the brilliant reviews of it on Amazon!I absolutely loved our Shark hoover … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {6th October 2017}….
We're actually away right now which isn't very money saving but we did do a few things to keep the price of our break way down so I thought I'd tell you about them today....1) We've managed to get away a few times this year thanks to a LOT of shopping around and some flexibility with airports and dates. Our holiday to Milan earlier this year cost us a little over £400 in a 4* hotel because we looked at airports we wouldn't usually flight from, in this case Edinburgh. This time, we booked in advance and looked nationwide so we might be flying from Heathrow but we got return flights for the … [Read more...]
Five reasons why you don’t meal plan….
If you already plan your meals in advance then this post probably isn't for you but if you don't you really should read on because planning your meals will save you time and money every single week!1) I don't have time!

If you're looking for some ideas on some great Halloween movies for kids then you're definitely in the right place today!One of our favorite things to do at Halloween is to sit and watch a spooky movie together.Over the years, the types of films that my two like to watch have gone from kid friendly slightly spooky films to full on (mild) horror films and there's nothing they like better than watching a horror snuggled under a blanket with the lights out!Saying that though, they do still enjoy a good old fashioned family Halloween movie every now and again so today, I thought … [Read more...]
How to dress to impress on a budget….
I'm definitely more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl but sometimes, I need to look all smart and grown up. Here's how I dress to impress on a budget.OK, I may be too old to call myself a girl but you know what I mean! I'm the sort of person who is much more at home in casual relaxed clothes so when it comes to dressing to impress, I haven't always been completely comfortable. But I've got a bit of a secret now, something that makes me feel much more confident in myself which definitely in my overall body language and attitude. It's not a huge thing, and you'll probably roll your … [Read more...]
Why you should NOT give your children a piggy bank….
Today I'm going to tell you exactly why I don't think you should give your children a piggy bank if you want to encourage them to save!I should say before I start that all children are different and this is my opinion based on my experience of my two who are great little savers. ;-)Both of my children are brilliant at saving, Miss Frugal especially although I think that's more because she's older and gets more money each month, therefore has more money to save. When we booked to go to New York, she saved more money than I managed to with a combination of pocketmoney, babysitting … [Read more...]
