You probably all know by now that I'm handbag mad so today's tutorial on how to make a handbag from a skirt or a pair of shorts was just up my street!I first saw a more complicated version of this idea to make a handbag from a skirt a good few months ago on Pinterest and decided to have a go at making a more simplified version of my own. I went on a charity shop expedition to search for what I was after and got everything in one trip for a total of £3.50. Then I completely forgot about it after I tidied the things I'd bought away into the black hole that is my 'must make for the … [Read more...]
This is why your next hoover should NOT be a Dyson….
Lots of people swear by their Dyson and whenever they buy a new hoover, the Dyson range is the first (and often only) place that they will look. I used to be a Dyson fan too, until I tried a Shark hoover!We first reviewed a Shark hoover last year when we reviewed the Shark Lift Away Hoover (which is actually reduced to £179.99 on Amazon right now aff link). I struggled to see how it could possibly be better than the hoover we had at the time and almost said no to the review for that reason - until I saw the brilliant reviews of it on Amazon!I absolutely loved our Shark hoover … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {6th October 2017}….
We're actually away right now which isn't very money saving but we did do a few things to keep the price of our break way down so I thought I'd tell you about them today....1) We've managed to get away a few times this year thanks to a LOT of shopping around and some flexibility with airports and dates. Our holiday to Milan earlier this year cost us a little over £400 in a 4* hotel because we looked at airports we wouldn't usually flight from, in this case Edinburgh. This time, we booked in advance and looked nationwide so we might be flying from Heathrow but we got return flights for the … [Read more...]
Five reasons why you don’t meal plan….
If you already plan your meals in advance then this post probably isn't for you but if you don't you really should read on because planning your meals will save you time and money every single week!1) I don't have time! OK, I get that meal planning can take a little bit of time once a week but it's totally worth it for the time you save during the rest of the week.I spend about twenty minutes on a Sunday morning having a quick look at what food we already have in and writing a meal plan based on that which I then use to write my shopping list.That extra time on a Sunday morning … [Read more...]
The Festival of Thrift 2017
Every year for the past four or five years we've visited the brilliant Festival of Thrift. Here's what we thought of this year's festival....The Festival of Thrift has been held every year for the last four or five years and I've been going since the second year it was held so it feels like a bit of an annual event now. It's quite a hard event to describe but the idea behind the festival is that it's the UK's first large-scale festival of sustainable living and every year it just seems to be getting bigger and more successful.It's such an eclectic mix of stalls, workshops and … [Read more...]
Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup {Healthy, Delicious and great for Slimming World}….
This Spicy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato soup has been in my top ten posts every single day since I published it way back in January 2016 and since I'm making a batch for the freezer right now, I thought I'd share it with you again today!Remember I told you that my favourite Christmas present last year was a soup maker?Well, the novelty hasn't worn off and I'm using it just as often as I predicted I would when I first wrote about it.Most soups that I make in there don't really have a recipe that I can share with you because more often than not, I literally just … [Read more...]
