Today I'm going all nostalgic on you and sharing some TV ads from my youth which I bet lots of you of a certain age will remember just as well as I do. The reason I'm sharing them is that I've made a batch of my own homemade Shake n Vac and the whole time I was making and using it, I couldn't help but sing the song.In fact, aside from the milky way advert with the two cars racing each other, the only other advert I can remember from when I was growing up is the Glade Shake n Vac one. They're both songs that remind me of watching TV with my Mam and Dad and always make me smile for that … [Read more...]
Garlic Roasted Cherry Tomatoes….
Today I'm sharing my new favourite recipe - Garlic roasted cherry tomatoes!I briefly mentioned in last Friday's Five Frugal Things post that I was going to share this recipe for garlic roasted cherry tomatoes with you today and I actually had two emails over the weekend asking for a sneak peek which was lovely and I was happy to share as the recipe was needed for a batch cooking session and a BBQ so today would have obviously been a bit late for both ladies. ;-)I think I said in my post that the tasty garlic roasted cherry tomatoes would be great on a pizza, amazing stirred through … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {29 June 2018}….
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.Before I start though, I do want to say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) Thanks to Monty, I needed a new laptop bag for … [Read more...]

Today, I wanted to tell you about my brand new greenhouse and hopefully get some greenhouse growing tips from some of you experts out there!Remember a few weeks ago when I shared my DIY Herb Garden Planter? Well, I mentioned in that post that I'd love to take my herb garden one step further and start growing my own fruit and veg and the very next week, I got a lovely email from Shedstore asking me if I would like to review one of their greenhouses and get started with a bit of fruit and veg greenhouse growing.My first thought was no, and that's because when I think of greenhouses, … [Read more...]
How we’ll be mortgage free (at least) 11 years ahead of schedule….
Last month I told you all about our debt free journey - from how we built up our debt to how we finally paid it all off. Today, I want to tell you a little about our plan to pay off our mortgage 11 years ahead of schedule so we're not only debt free ut mortgage free too.When we bought our current house, we were still in our not-very-sensible with money stage so we chose to pay less each month over a longer term. I know, worst decision ever!We could have afforded the extra payment each month as we'd deliberately chosen a smaller house than we could have had because we wanted to be … [Read more...]
