Last week I had to scan some receipts so I could claim back some expenses so off I headed to the garage (our printer/scanner is in the garage as I like it tidy and out of the way) but it wouldn't turn on for some reason which wasn't particularly convenient as I was already late sending the receipts off.I poked the scanner a bit, turned it on and off and did what anyone with my level of technical knowledge would do - I sighed dramatically and stormed back into the house!I then had a bit of a whinge on Facebook (as you do) and someone suggested that I just download a scanning app!Why … [Read more...]

Make sure that you’re fully prepared for Winter….
I know I've called this post 'getting prepared for Winter' but what I actually mean is getting ready for the colder weather!As the temperatures start to drop throughout October, more and more people will be starting to turn their heating on, and that's OK. In fact, I'll more than likely be joining you. ;-)I'm not going to tell you that to be frugal you need to sit at home in the cold and layer up so much that you look like the Michelin Man just to avoid putting your heating on because that's not what being thrifty means to me (it might be to you though and that's OK too).I am … [Read more...]
Can you freeze cupcakes and muffins?
A few years ago I would have laughed at you if you'd told me that not only would I have a big bag filled with homemade muffins in my freezer but that I would also be baking specifically to keep that bag topped up but these days it just normal to me.I often bake muffins on a Sunday and freeze most of them before we're tempted to eat them all (we would given half the chance) and then every night when I'm making lunches for the following day, I just get one out and pop it in the packed lunch box where it will defrost overnight ready to be eaten at lunch the next day.There's lots of … [Read more...]
Do you know what the safe storage times for food in your fridge & freezer are?
Your fridge and freezer are your greatest weapons in the battle to save money by meal planning (see how I've tried to make the subject a little more exciting there?) and if you know how long you can keep food in there safely then you're half way to winning!I made you a handy little guide to show how long food will keep (based on info on the .gov.uk site) although I understand that the freezer timescales are more based on quality rather than safety as the quality of frozen food will start to diminish after a while.Are you still awake?I know this wasn't the most exciting post … [Read more...]
Never lose a document again with my super easy filing system….
We've all been there at least once - a lost passport a few days before you're due to travel, a lost bank statement when you need to prove you bought something or even a misplaced driving license just when you need it.For me, it was a lost passport just weeks before we were due to travel on holiday and despite turning the house upside down and back to front we couldn't find it anywhere which led to a stressful last minute (and very costly) visit to our local passport office for a replacement.The stress that lost passport caused was unbelievable so as soon as I got back from our holiday, … [Read more...]
