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. Hey! 👐Ugh, it's been one of those weeks this week! I'm pretty much done in and ready to hibernate this weekend with absolutely no plans to do anything other than watch TV shows on Netflix and Hayu that don't require any brain cells at all. 1) You will NEVER guess what? I've finally painted the wall behind my bed which, if you've … [Read more...]
Make a Free Personalised Autumn Family Favourites Poster….
It's been a while since I shared an idea for something to make with our FREE personalised poster maker so today, as I'm sat here contemplating the fact that it looks very Autumnal outside my house today, I thought I'd share an idea for an Autumn Family Favourites poster.For those of you who don't know, the poster maker tool is right here! I know it's had a few issues lately and I'm so sorry that it took me longer than expected to get it fixed due to the current state of play in the world but it's back up and running now which is brilliant as it's just in time for the busiest time … [Read more...]
10 tips for teaching a teenager to drive…
Teaching a teenager to drive is not an easy task so today, I thought I'd share some of my tips in case you ever find yourself in that position!

Note that I said most, not all! 🤣😂🤣 About ten pairs of tights (and two more pairs that I just bought today) from Snag Tights This discovery has literally … [Read more...]
Relaxing DIY Milk Bath Recipe….
If you enjoy a lovely relaxing bath then my DIY Milk Bath Recipe is EXACTLY what you need in your life!I'm all about self-care at the moment and have deliberately been a bit selfish lately and have neglected some parts of my life to focus on myself for a while. I might even write a separate post about it because it's been a conscious effort on my part to be more selfish and it's not been easy if I'm honest.I've definitely spent more time relaxing without worrying about what I could be doing if I wasn't taking my time in the bath or watching a random video on YouTube but more than … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {4th September 2020}….
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. Hey! 👐1) A while ago, I shared how I'd painted my lovely old dining room table white.A couple of people at the time asked me why I'd chosen white to paint the table as white isn't the most practical colour for a dining room table - a fact I totally get! I went for white because, at the time, I was on a mission to paint all of the walls in my house … [Read more...]
