My free Christmas planner is back for 2026 and, considering how much I love a good list at this time of year, I’m actually quite excited to bring this one back. 😂I know some people will think it’s far too early to start thinking about Christmas, but for me this is exactly the right time to start doing the little bits that make December feel less chaotic. I’m not talking about having everything bought, wrapped and organised by the first week of November, because that is absolutely not happening here, but having one place to keep track of everything does make a massive … [Read more...]
My Five Favourite Pre-Loved Finds Since We Moved House….
We’ve been in this house for just over six months now and, if you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I’ve bought a LOT of things pre-loved since we moved in. 😂 Some have been practical, some have been bargains that were just too good to leave behind and some have been things that I spotted and instantly knew exactly where they were going to go.I’ve always loved buying pre-loved, but I think I love it even more in this house. It’s an old house with so many gorgeous original features and I really want the things we add to feel like they belong here. That doesn’t mean … [Read more...]
Five little things that have saved us money this week {2nd 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 time for this week’s Five Money-Saving Things, and I genuinely don’t know where this week has gone. It feels like five minutes since I was writing last week’s post and … [Read more...]
My October Bucket List….
I’m feeling really content with life at the minute and, as someone who is definitely an Autumn person, I’m really excited to see what October brings. It’s going to be a busy month because there’s quite a lot going on, including a couple of pretty big decisions that I need to make but actually in a weird way, that just makes me more excited for it.There’s lots I want to get done this month but I also really want to make sure I enjoy the month because October is one of my absolute favourite times of the year and I don’t want to get to the end of it and realise I’ve spent the whole month … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken (Easy, Flexible, and Always Worth Having In)….
Slow cooker shredded chicken is one of those things that I make so often that I almost forget it’s worth writing about — until I realise how much I rely on it. I shared it in a five frugal things post recently but as I was making it again today, I thought it was worth a blog post of it's own. I used to make shredded chicken all of the time in my Instant Pot, but I don't have that anymore (which hurts me 😁) and for ages, I just stopped making it because it honestly never even crossed my mind to try making it in the slow cooker… until one day it did. This version of shredded … [Read more...]
We booked a last-minute holiday to Ibiza – was it worth it?
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...]
