Welcome to this week’s money makeover which is all about dealing with your debt. In case you missed the first few money makeover posts, I’m going to be doing a post every Monday with ways to save money.

Also, I'll leave the links to the previous posts at the bottom each week so you can go back to the start if you want to.How did you get on with last week's post? I hope you did your homework and had a … [Read more...]
My week in Instagram – 12 January 2014….
We've had a bit of a quiet week here this week. I think the late nights of Christmas together with getting back into the school routine has wiped us out a bit so we've all been chilling out as much as possible and having early nights for most of the week! … [Read more...]

Probably the most obvious way to teach children about the value of money is to give your child regular pocket money and encourage them to save up for things they want to buy and to budget their money so they don't run out before their next 'payday'.I know from talking about pocket money on here previously that there isn't a one answer suits all solution to how much or what age so I'm going to tell you what I do and I've also asked some of my blogging friends to share their thoughts too so hopefully you'll read something that you think will work your family.At the moment we give Miss … [Read more...]

25 things you should do this year with your children….
This year I've sat down with the kids and we've made a '25 things to do together before the end of the year' list ;-)I thought it would be a good way to focus on a few of the things that we want to do together because really, if we keep putting them off then all too soon they're going to be too grown up to want to do them together. At 11 and (almost) 9, I'm guessing we don't have too long left before they'd rather be playing with their friends than spending time with us!Some things we've done before and some things the kids have done but would like to do with us as a family this time. … [Read more...]
