Did you see my post a couple of weeks ago about my wardrobe sort out and mass bulk Vinted listing session? A couple of weeks ago, I finally cleared out my wardrobe and drawers ahead of our house move, mainly because I couldn’t see the point in packing and moving clothes I already don’t wear, especially when I’d been battling to shut my wardrobe doors for months and pretending to myself that it wasn't a big deal. I went through everything properly and made a decision on every single item of clothing that I owned, which was long overdue if I’m honest. Anything that wasn’t staying … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did when we moved house….
We bought a project house. It's live-able but it definitely needs work and we have so many plans to turn it into our home. We plan to do most of the work ourselves gradually so we know we can stick to a tight budget - and it needs to be a tight budget based on the amount of work that we need to do and the plans we have. 😁 So, life's going to be very busy for the foreseeable. It's actually been a month since we moved in but I've not been well so haven't really updated you since then which means now that I've had my operation and am starting to feel better, I … [Read more...]
How I saved money (and the planet) this week with Too Good to Go….
If you’ve been around here a while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of Too Good To Go – the clever little app that lets you rescue perfectly good food from going in the bin, all while saving a few pounds at the same time. It’s basically a win-win for your wallet and the planet. For anyone who hasn’t come across it before, here’s how it works.. Local cafés, restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets list any unsold food on the app at the end of each day and you can browse the app to see what’s nearby. You pick what you want, pay through the app (usually just a few pounds), and then pop along at the … [Read more...]
I bought a breadmaker {Pre-loved}….
When I was off work, I spent so much time at home that I got bored enough to rediscover how much I enjoyed making bread. I'm diabetic so I don't eat too much myself but I love making food that my family enjoy and even more than that, I enjoyed the process of making bread. The precise measuring focused my brain when it needed something to focus on, the kneading of the bread gave me a calmness that I find hard to explain and the process of proving the dough gives me almost as much satisfaction as the smells the bread makes in the oven and the feeling of accomplishment when the timer dings and … [Read more...]
Three ways I’m putting money aside for ‘fun’ stuff this year!
At the start of this year, I had big plans to share my money goals early on. I wanted to be organised, intentional, and very much on it from January. But real life had other ideas. I haven’t been very well, and a lot of my energy has gone into just getting through the days rather than writing about plans and intentions. So this post didn’t happen when I thought it would. What has been happening, though, is the quiet work in the background. Even when I haven’t been sharing much, I’ve still been focusing on our finances in small, manageable ways. Nothing dramatic or world changing and that's … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved bargains {March 2026}….
Welcome to my monthly pre-loved bargain post - one of my favourite things to write because it gives me an excuse to share the second-hand treasures I’ve brought home lately. I'll not go into things too much but I've been poorly for a while now and because of that, I've spent a lot of time at home while I've been waiting for an operation. I tried to get out of the house every day by going for a little walk so most days, I walked into our little village just to get out of the house. There are five charity shops on our high street so you can imagine how many times I've been in each … [Read more...]
