We unexpectedly found ourselves with a few spare days recently, so obviously the sensible thing to do was to book a last-minute holiday to Ibiza. 😂Because the holiday hadn't been planned, we didn't have a huge budget set aside for it and we didn't have months to save up any extra spending money. That meant we were looking for something where as much as possible was included in the price we paid upfront.We weren't necessarily looking for the absolute cheapest holiday we could find though. There are some things that are important to us when we travel and I'm happy to pay a … [Read more...]
10 Family Days Out for Under £10 This Autumn….
Autumn is probably one of my favourite times of year for getting out and about as a family because you really don’t need to spend much to have a good day. Give me a chilly day, a big jumper and somewhere with lots of crunchy leaves and I’m happy. 😂Over the years we’ve done loads of little Autumn days out that have cost us next to nothing, so I thought I’d share a few of our favourites. Most of these are completely free and even the ones that do cost something should easily come in at under £10 if you take your own drinks and snacks with you.1. Go for a leaf collecting … [Read more...]
Disney World 14-Day Magic Ticket for 2027: Is It Good Value for UK Families?
If you're planning a Disney World holiday for 2027 then there's a good chance you've already come across the 14-Day Magic Ticket, especially if you're planning to go for a couple of weeks like lots of UK families do.Disney tickets aren't cheap though, especially when you're buying for a whole family, so it's definitely worth spending a bit of time working out exactly what you're getting for your money and, more importantly, whether you're actually going to use enough of the ticket to make it worthwhile.We've been to Disney World ourselves and I know how easy it is to get carried … [Read more...]
Things I’ve Stopped Buying Because They’ve Got Too Expensive….
I stopped for petrol recently and, while I was waiting to pay, I spotted a Bounty by the till and quite fancied one. Then I saw that it was £1.20. £1.20 for a Bounty! When did that happen? 😳I know petrol stations have never exactly been the cheapest place to buy chocolate, but I can remember when adding a chocolate bar while you were paying for petrol was just a little treat that you didn’t really think twice about. It got me thinking about all the other things that have reached that point for me lately. Not necessarily things that I can’t afford to buy, but things that have … [Read more...]
What I found when I did a full freezer audit…
I haven’t shared a proper meal plan for a little while, mainly because meal planning has been a bit more hit and miss than usual over the last few months.Earlier in the year, when I was off work and not very well, we actually worked our way through a lot of the food that I’d previously batch cooked and stashed away in the freezer. That’s exactly what it was there for, so I was very grateful for it at the time, but once I was feeling better and went back to work I never really got around to building those stocks back up again.Getting back into work life was a bigger adjustment than … [Read more...]
10 Top Places & Experiences for Wine Lovers in Cyprus….
Cyprus is one of those places that I seem to keep going back to. I think I’ve been about eight times now if I include the holidays I had there when I was little, and even after all those visits there are still plenty of parts of the island that I haven’t properly explored.Most of our more recent trips have been very much about sunshine, family time and relaxing, but there’s so much more to Cyprus than the beaches and resorts that most of us head to when we visit.One thing that I’ve never really explored properly is the wine side of Cyprus, which is surprising when you realise just how … [Read more...]
