Before I start though, as always I feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)1) Every year for the last couple of years, a fair amount of my Christmas … [Read more...]
This Week’s Slimming World Meal Plan {6th January 2020}….
So here's the thing... Every January for the past three years, I've joined Slimming World and lost around a stone each time.I've been having a think about why I never seem to stick to it for longer than it takes me to lose a stone because I really want this January to be different and I've realised that I absolutely have a pattern.I get to the point where I'm a stone down and I'm starting to be able to see a difference in myself and feel good but I find excuses why I need a weekend or a week off of watching what I eat.

A savings challenge with a difference – get a FREE £10….
