I realised a while ago that I really missed the personal side of blogging, the posts where I literally just used to sit down and tell you what we've been up to so (and I have no idea if this is going to work) I thought we'd try something new. 😂.I thought I'd sit down on a Sunday morning and have a bit of a catch up - what's happened that week, anything exciting coming up and maybe even a quick round-up of blog posts from my other blogs. I have no idea if I have an interesting enough life to make every week worth reading but let's see, shall we?If you saw my last … [Read more...]

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! 👐Last Sunday morning, I was pedalling away on my exercise bike in the kitchen (because having it where I have to literally walk around it to let the dogs out in the garden is the biggest reminder to actually go on it) when I was trying to think of anything other than the fact that my legs were dead and I still had another 6km to go to get to my target … [Read more...]

I'm the first to admit that it's not been particularly easy for me to switch to a frugal mindset and truth be told, I'm probably not as frugal as I could be these days.

The lemon butter biscuits taste absolutely melt in your mouth amazing! They're easy to make and don't use any fancy ingredients. 😂I've made these biscuits a few times now because they're a great way to use up lemon zest so whenever I have a recipe that needs lemon juice and not the zest then I zest the lemons first and make these little beauties.

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.
