Homemade Mince Pies (cheap but yummy)….
It's not Christmas until you've had a mince pie! Today I'm sharing my budget homemade mince pies which are totally amazing if I do say so myself!

British Gas HomeCare Cover – my experience….
British Gas HomeCare has saved me from potential frostbite twice now so I thought I'd tell you a little bit about why I love them but.... Before I start, I am NOT working with British Gas at all on this post (although I have just added in my refer a friend link just in case you do decide to sign up with them). 😇I pay for my British Gas HomeCare cover myself and have done now for a good few years - in fact, I first wrote about them in 2015 when they saved Christmas for us after we woke up on Christmas morning to find we had no heating.
