I know we're closer to the end of January than the start but I've been meaning to write this post for weeks now but I just haven't got around to it! I wanted to share with you 10 things that I want to achieve in 2019 - some of which I've started on, some are planned and the rest need some work but they're all things that I'm determined to achieve this year.1. Improve my health I'll share more about this one at the weekend but basically, my health goal this year is to get more active and lose weight. 2. Read more 'meaningful' books I read a lot at the moment, in fact, I … [Read more...]

There’s still plenty of time to declutter before Christmas….
I can't believe it's the 1st of December already!This means that I'm having my annual 'we have too much stuff and can't possibly fit any more into the house' panic which means that I'm currently mid-way through my annual declutter before Christmas!My yearly stress is a good thing though because I can get rid of some things we don't need any more and make some money at the same time! It’s such a great feeling to rid yourself of unwanted items, whether it’s a jumper you haven’t worn in years, shoes that you thought would be trendy (but definitely weren’t a few months later), or an … [Read more...]
Thrifty but Cute Mason Jar Gifts for everyone….
Homemade gifts can not only save you money but they can also show the person you give them to just how much you've thought about the gift you're giving them. I've got lots of ideas for homemade gifts this Christmas but today, we're starting with some ideas for mason jar gifts.Mason Jars are traditionally used for preserving and canning food but I use them for all sorts in my house. In my kitchen alone I've used the smaller sized jars to store my homemade applesauce in and I have lots of them in my cupboard filled with everything from flour to porridge oats and I even have one filled … [Read more...]
Bringing the Magic Back this Christmas….
This isn't one of those 'woe is me' posts but I want to share my reasons for why this Christmas is more important to me than any Christmas for as long as I can remember. To explain fully, we need to rewind a little bit to Christmas 2016 when I was off work sick following a hemorrhoidectomy operation that I'd had at the end of September. Prior to the operation, I'd been in a lot of pain with a thrombosed haemorrhoid since the end of June time and after the operation, the pain was unbelievable was quite a while so I was on quite strong painkillers for lengthy periods throughout … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {5 October 2018}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, I do want to 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 - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) I think I mentioned last week that we're having a … [Read more...]
Confessions of a Money Blogger….
This may come as a surprise (not) but I'm far from perfect when it comes to money saving! (Actually, this probably isn't a surprise to regular readers ;-))I had a chat with Miss Frugal this weekend about social media and one of the things I said to her was that the people she follows on Instagram who look perfect and put together most likely aren't. I explained to her that they only share what they want you to see and although that doesn't make them 'fake', it does mean that their life probably isn't as amazing as you might think it is from looking at the photos … [Read more...]
