I like to think I’m quite an organised person. 😁 I make lists, I plan ahead and I’m generally on top of most things… I own a filofax so that makes me organised by default, right? Moving house humbled me though and showed me that I am not the organised person because I managed to forget some really obvious things! Not big dramatic things, just the kind of small, annoying jobs that you don’t think about until they come back and bite you in the bum later on. I completely forgot to tell most of my friends that we'd actually moved house and one friend who had obviously missed … [Read more...]
Why is giving things away on Facebook Marketplace so stressful?
I don’t know what it is about giving things away on Facebook Messenger but in my experience, it leads to some very random messages landing in my inbox. Recently, we’ve been having a proper clear out at our new house and we've been listing a mix of things that were left here by the previous family and things that we absolutely should never have brought with us when we moved. You know those things that somehow make it into the moving van rather than the pile that's heading to the charity shop because you’re too tired to make sensible decisions by that point and future you is left … [Read more...]
The Best Potato Salad Recipe in the World (not even exaggerating)….
I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you that my potato salad recipe is the Best potato salad recipe in the World! It’s actually the only thing I make that has people asking me for the recipe afterwards… which feels like a proper badge of honour if you ask me. 😂 I first made it about five years ago when I was trying to recreate a potato salad I’d eaten at a barbecue the week before. You know how that goes — you have something amazing somewhere else and then spend ages trying to work out what made it so good. Well… in trying to recreate it, I somehow ended up making … [Read more...]
What International eSIMs Offer Travellers Planning Trips Abroad….
One of the things I always think about before we go away now is how we’re going to stay connected once we land. It used to be something we just sorted when we got there, whether that meant paying whatever roaming charges came up or wandering around an airport trying to find somewhere to buy a SIM card. Neither option is ideal when you’re tired and just want to get to your hotel and start your trip.These days though, there’s a much easier way to deal with it, and it’s something I wish we’d started using sooner. Electronic SIMs, or eSIMs, basically let you sort your mobile data before you … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {1st May 2026}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous 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) I'm officially back at work now after my operation and I'm so excited to have that routine back in my life as I genuinely do enjoy my job and I whilst I love the odd week off work for annual leave where the inevitable lack of routine is welcome, an extended period with no routine or focus is not good for me so this last couple of weeks especially, … [Read more...]
How to Write a Strong Essay on Family Savings….
Writing about family finances sounds like it should be easy because it’s something most of us deal with every day. We’re constantly thinking about money, whether it’s what’s left after the weekly shop, whether we can afford something extra, or how much we’ve managed to put aside. But when you actually sit down to write about it, it suddenly feels much harder to turn all of that into something that makes sense on paper.That was exactly how I felt the first time I had to write about family savings for an assignment. I assumed it would be straightforward because it was so familiar, but I … [Read more...]
