We all have little phrases that we say without really thinking about them, and one of mine used to be, "It's only a pound." Whether I was standing in the supermarket, ordering a coffee or shopping online, I'd regularly find myself justifying spending a little bit extra because, after all, it was only £1 and what difference was that going to make in the grand scheme of things. 💰A pound on its own really doesn't feel like much. Spending an extra pound on a meal deal, upgrading to a branded product, adding next-day delivery or treating yourself to something at the checkout doesn't … [Read more...]
Five little things that have saved us money this week {3rd July 2026}….
Every week I share five small things we’ve done to save a bit of money, make life easier or help us spend more intentionally. None of them are usually huge on their own, but that’s kind of the point. Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget.1) Last weekend, we started the day sat in the garden, enjoying the sunshine before it got too hot for me. 🌞 Somehow, that turned into ripping out a half-dead … [Read more...]
10 ways to keep cool on a budget….
I originally published this post a few years ago but with the heatwave we’re having at the moment and the fact that our new house seems to hold heat like an actual greenhouse, I’ve found myself coming back to it and looking for every possible way to keep cool again. 😂Our old Victorian house is lovely in lots of ways but once the heat gets in, it really likes to hang around which means we’ve been trying all sorts over the last couple of weeks just to make things a bit more comfortable without relying on fans running constantly. Some of these are things we’ve done for years, some … [Read more...]

Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget. I mean, what a week we've had! I think I can safely say we saved money this week without even thinking about it as it was too hot to venture too far from … [Read more...]

Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget.Hey! 1) This first one is a bit of an obvious one, but I'm sharing it anyway because it felt like quite a grown-up thing to do. 😁I didn't buy … [Read more...]
Homemade Febreze for under 20p a bottle….
I've been making my own homemade Febreze for years now and it still makes regular appearances in my weekly "Five Little Things That Saved Me Money This Week" posts. I realised recently though that the original post I wrote about it is well overdue an update, so I thought I'd dust it off, give it a refresh and share it again. Partly because I've treated myself to a new spray bottle and was looking for an excuse to show it off!
