Last week we were lucky enough to have a lovely family break in Milan which I was going to tell you all about in another post but I decided to work it into this week's five frugal things post because it was such a frugal break yet such an enjoyable one.First of all, I'm going to tell you how much I paid for it because it was an unbelievable price for what we got!We traveled with Easyjet and paid £435 in TOTAL for four of us to fly to Milan from Edinburgh and stay for four nights in a four star hotel with breakfast. The price included everything but transfers and insurance (which we … [Read more...]
Interesting things my children have said to me in the last week….
The kids have come out with some corkers this last week and at times they've had me in stitches with some of the things they've said! I thought I'd share some of the tamer ones with you to see if I could make you smile too.... If you check my internet search history today then don't worry if you see an odd one. You weren't here and I needed to know something! Oh dear! I'm not going to tell you what it was she was searching for but I'll be honest, I'd have had to search if she'd have asked me. ;-) I wonder which of those men is the rhubarb Mam? Said by one of my lovely little people when … [Read more...]

What if you’re OK with letting fear stop you from doing things?
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm scared about what's going on in the world right now, it genuinely feels to me like nowhere's safe and as a parent, that's an awful feeling.I've watched the news of the attacks across the world and even the first attack in London to a certain degree with feelings of shock, horror and devastation for the people who have been caught up in them but also with the feeling that my little corner of the world was still safe.And then the Manchester attack happened and I felt the same shock, horror and devastation but the fact that it was so much closer to home … [Read more...]

How to make money tutoring….
Today I'm sharing the second post in my side hustle series an it's all about how you can make money tutoring. I don't have much knowledge of tutoring from a tutor's perspective I've asked the lovely Emma from Emma and 3 to tell you all about how she makes extra money from tutoring.I can really see how you could make money tutoring simply because I know that personally, it's definitely something that I would consider for my children if I felt they'd benefit from some extra help. We all want the best for our children and if hiring a tutor will help them do better at school and give them a … [Read more...]
