There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to find a good series and properly get stuck into it. Once the nights start getting darker and the curtains are being closed earlier, I’m quite happy knowing that I don’t need to go anywhere for the rest of the night and that I can just get comfy and switch off for a while.My partner works two night shifts a week and one of my favourite things to do when he goes off to work is just go to bed early and watch TV. I feel like we’re always so busy and there’s always something that needs doing, so having a couple of hours here and … [Read more...]

Facebook Made Me Buy It – Purdy & Figg….
I'm convinced that I'm actually a marketer's dream when it comes to social media advertising. I like to think I'm pretty good at spotting when I'm being sold to, but that doesn't seem to stop me from buying things. You should see my TikTok Shop basket! 😂I've been seeing Purdy & Figg cleaning products popping up in my Facebook feed for months now and, despite being tempted more than once, I'd managed to resist buying them. Mainly because I couldn't really justify spending that much money on cleaning products when the ones I already use do the job perfectly well.But then … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved finds {October 2026}….
Welcome to my monthly pre-loved bargain post, which is always one of my favourite posts to write. 😀There's something so satisfying about finding something you genuinely need or love second-hand, especially when it costs a fraction of what it would have done new or even what it's worth now. I’ve had another good month for second-hand finds and I think I might have peaked pretty early this month when we found a charity shop in a little village near where we live that was closing down.

Free Halloween Printables (and some other Halloween Inspiration)….
Halloween is just around the corner and with half term coming up, I thought it was a good time to reshare these three free Halloween puzzle printables that I made a few years ago.They're perfect for keeping the kids occupied for a little while, especially on those cold, wet October days when you're stuck indoors and looking for something to do that doesn't involve spending money or putting them in front of a screen.I originally made these when my two were younger and loved doing little activities like this. They're both grown up now and definitely far too cool for Halloween puzzles, … [Read more...]
Five little things that have saved us money this week {16th October 2026}….
Every week I share five small things we’ve done to save a bit of money, make life easier or help us spend more intentionally. None of them are usually huge on their own, but that’s kind of the point. Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget.It’s been one of those weeks where the money-saving things have been a bit of a mixture. Some were very deliberate, like making a bargain chicken stretch over a few meals, … [Read more...]
