There's no getting away from the fact that selling your house is stressful! You feel like your life is in limbo (or at least I did) because you don't know what's happening and when. I hated the waiting game - waiting for someone to decide they liked our house enough to buy it whilst desperately hoping that the house we wanted didn't sell in the meantime, waiting for our offer to be accepted on the house we wanted and now, waiting for it all to go through and be finalised. I wanted to do everything I could to speed up the sale of our home and I honestly think that the things I … [Read more...]

I've been following these steps before viewings this last week or so as we've had a few last minute visitors booked in and obviously, I wanted to show the house in it's best light. 😁 So, back to me … [Read more...]

I woke up one day and really missed my mam especially and I couldn't remember her voice. Like I could remember some of the conversations we had but it felt like something was … [Read more...]
Don’t have a Vase? Here’s 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase….
Don't worry if you don't have a Vase? Here's 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase...Considering at least half of my weekly five frugal things posts used to start with a picture of some reduced flowers that I've bought through the week, it might surprise you to know that I don't actually own a single vase. I did used to have a few basic ones but honestly, they just took space up in the cupboard under my sink so I gave them away - one to a friend with a bunch of flowers arranged in it prettily and the others went to the charity shop. I've never missed them in any way … [Read more...]

I mentioned it a few weeks ago in one of my five frugal things post but I'd only just made my first one and I wanted to make sure it was worth sharing before I blogged about it. I wasn't convinced that it was going to actually last long enough that I could smell it for more than the first hour. 😂 It's really impressed me … [Read more...]
