This post is in conjunction with Boots UK but all thoughts are my ownHonestly, the phrase 'cost of living crisis' really is my most hated phrase right now. I hate that so many families across the UK are struggling with life's essentials like heating their house and putting food on their table and fuel in their cars, let alone being able to afford the nice-to-have things in life.It's really influenced the way that I've approached Christmas this year as I'm sure it has many of you and this year, there won't be a pile of presents on the floor when the kids come downstairs on Christmas … [Read more...]
