The title of this post really should read - Camping for beginners - our experience and a free camping checking list so you remember everything we forgot.... Apparently that's too long for Google though so you got the shortened version instead. ;-)We're not experienced campers and weren't particularly well prepared for our camping trip a few weeks ago so after I came back, I decided to write a list of everything we took that was worth taking (we took a lot). everything we should have taken that we needed (also a lot of things) so that our next camping trip is a little easier.I know … [Read more...]
Getting married at Gretna Green – how to organise a wedding on a budget….
I'm pretty sure I've shared my wedding on a budget story with you before but I've just been going through my boxes of family photos and it made me feel all warm and fluffy so I thought I'd share with you today how we planned our wedding on a super tight budget and hopefully you'll agree that you don't need to spend a fortune on a wedding to have a long lasting and happy marriage.We didn't really plan on getting married when we did to be honest although we were engaged and we did have plans for a slightly larger wedding somewhere down the line.

The Most Important Money Lessons To Teach Your Kids….
As someone who wasn't that great at managing money when I left home (and for way too many years afterwards) I want my children to be as well equipped as possible to manage their finances and their household budgets when the time comes.The schools have enough to cover in the short period of time the kids are there so even though they might briefly cover some aspects of money management, the bulk of the responsibility falls to me as a parent and I've been teaching them as much as I can since they started nursery (and probably before to be honest).It can be a fine line though between … [Read more...]
