It's OK, I'm not going to start posting about Slimming World every day but after my post yesterday, I did want to share with you my secret to perfect Slimming World Chips because they're great for everyone, not just people on Slimming World because they're healthy to make and delicious to eat. ;-)I don't peel my potatoes when I make Slimming World chips because (a) I'm lazy, (b) they taste nicer with the skin on and (c) there's loads of good stuff in the skin. I just give them a quick rinse under a cold tap and then cut them up into chip shapes.Next, I just pop them in a pan of … [Read more...]
Slimming World on a Budget {Week 1}….
I know that lots of people are starting diets, new fitness routines and healthy eating plans now as part if their 2017 goals so you're probably sick of reading about them all but I'm jumping on the bandwagon today and kicking off a new series on the blog to share my progress as well as any tips and tricks I pick up along the way.I'm going to be following Slimming World as I lost over a stone last year with them and didn't find it difficult to slot in with my family's usual meals. I would have lost more and would have been a lot closer to my target weight right now but when I fell ill my … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’m going to do in 2017…
This week's five frugal things post is a little bit different because I wanted to share with you five frugal things that I'm going to be doing in 2017.1) I'm going to be doing my own affordable weekly savings challenge again next year because as much as I love all of the ones you see floating around the internet at this time of year, they're just un-manageable for us and I think by about week 10 we'd be struggling. My version means that you don't save as much over the year but at least it's easy to stick to so you won't end up giving up part way through the year. Do you fancy joining … [Read more...]
How much SHOULD you be spending on your weekly shopping?
One thing I often get asked is how much people should be spending on their weekly shopping and I always struggle to answer it because what's right for one family isn't necessarily right for another. I thought I'd have a go at explaining how I think you should decide on your shopping budget, with a little help from my friends. ;-)The right amount to spend on your weekly shopping each week for your family depends on a number of different things, although these are the main three deciding factors in my mind:(a) How much money you have available to spend after paying for … [Read more...]
My secret to an organised freezer….
This post is probably going to make me sound more than a little obsessed with freezer organisation but I'm not that bad, honestly. I just think that if you have an organised freezer then life is easier. ;-)I'm lucky enough to have three freezers - one as part of my fridge freezer, one under the counter freezer that we bought last year and one that we've just been given that lives in our garage. The one in the garage is pretty big and has a LOT of space over 5 biggish drawers and I was probably more excited than I should have been when it arrived a couple of weeks ago.I try to be quite … [Read more...]
Why you NEED to set realistic targets….
Have you made a New Years Resolution this year?If you have, then just have a think about it for a moment - have you set realistic targets for yourself or are your goals going to be a real stretch? Because if your resolution is too difficult and you struggle too much then you're going to get disheartened in no time at all and you'll just give up completely.I'm going to use the savings challenge that's doing the rounds at the moment as an example? You start in week one saving just £1 which is totally achievable but every week you're supposed to save an extra pound, so week two would be … [Read more...]
