1) I had to cut the crusts off some bread on Sunday morning to make our favourite family treat breakfast - Nutella French Toast Roll Ups. Rather than waste the crusts, I've popped them in the freezer as I'll be making some homemade fishcakes next week (if I stick to the meal plan I have in mind) and the crusts will make great breadcrumbs to coat them in.2) I invested in some new microfiber cloths from B and Q which were a bargainous 3 for £1 (as they are in the pound shops I think). Microfiber cloths are honestly amazing and they're an essential part of my cleaning kit! They're so … [Read more...]

What we’re eating this week {01 May 2017}….
I haven't shared a weekly meal plan on here for ages now, have I?I started posting them over on my meal planning blog each week but even that kind of gradually dropped off as life got too busy over the last few months to do anything but quickly scribble my plans on the back of an envelope in the 10 minutes before we went shopping.That 'method' of meal planning, although better than not meal planning at all, isn't great for us as I tend to stick to the same few meals when I do it that way simply because I know they're easy to shop for and easy to cook. This means we get bored with what … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {28th April 2017}….
1) After the success I had with dying my eyelashes at home I thought I'd try waxing my eyebrows myself with a kit from Boots that cost me £2.69 . They're weren't as sticky as I expected and it took me the whole pack to get my eyebrows looking like I wanted them to as I had to keep re-doing bits but I did manage to get them done using the pack and it was a lot easier than I expected so I would get them again in future.You can find them in the section with the make up brushes and fake nails if you want to have a try yourself. They're far from HD quality but to be fair they cost so much … [Read more...]
25+ blog posts you need to read if you’re Spring Cleaning….
As much as I love Spring and the return of the sunshine, there's no denying that the sun does have a way of shining on the dust in the house and highlighting areas that need a bit of a clean - which is why you'll find me having a good old Spring Clean this weekend!Whenever I do a big clean like I'm planning, I give myself a bit of a head start by getting everyone involved as I do when I want to clean the house quickly. You can read about that here if you want to have a look but basically we have a super quick clean where we all focus on one room for a short period of time before moving on … [Read more...]
Pink Prosecco flavoured gummy bears….
These Pink Prosecco Flavoured Gummy Bears are the perfect grown-up homemade treat.The link for the gummy bear mould further down is an affiliate link - just putting it out there so you know. You pay the same price but I'll get a few pennies too.Last week Master Frugal asked me if we could try making a healthier version of his favourite sweets - Haribo Gummy Bears. I had no idea this was even possible but Pinterest assured me that if I had the moulds then I could make almost any flavour Gummy Bears using fruit and other healthier alternatives to the sugary sweets that he loves … [Read more...]
Riso Al Salto – A great way to use up leftover risotto….
I love homemade risotto but it's one meal that I can never seem to get my portion sizes right and I almost always end up with more than we need for one meal which isn't a bad thing as I've found a great way to use up my leftover risotto - Riso al Salto. In fact, we love Riso al Salto that much that I do sometimes deliberately make extra just so we can have this for lunch the following day.Riso al salto is traditionally the way that leftover risotto would be used up in Italy but I've also made a Spanish version using leftover paella which is almost, but not quite as delicious.How to … [Read more...]
