Without a doubt in my mind I can tell you that meal planning is the easiest way to save money quickly by far.You could literally start meal planning today and the very next time you go shopping you'll see a reduction in your shopping … [Read more...]
My January Goals….
I know I've said this many, many time before but I really do love New Year. Logically, the date on a calendar shouldn't inspire me to want to improve things as much as they do but seeing as it does, I'm going to take full advantage and set myself some January goals while I'm feeling so motivated.January Goals - PersonalI want to get back to work this week and get myself settled back in. I'm in two minds about it because I've been off ill for so much of last year that I'm dreading it because there's going to be so much to catch up on but excited because I really do enjoy my job. … [Read more...]
Why 2016 made my children question the world we live in….
I've never been one to talk about politics here on my blog and I'm certainly not about to start today but certain events that have happened this year (both in the UK and the US) have led to some very challenging discussions with my children about the world around us right now and that's something that I kind of do want to talk about.It's hard to know just what to talk about with our children when there are so many big changes going on in the world. I think it's important that they have an understanding of what's going on in on in the world but even more important that they continue to feel … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {30 December 2016}….
1) We had gammon and lamb as our Christmas Dinner meats as we're not huge turkey fans here and we had plenty of leftovers as I'm sure we all did. ;-) We all had gammon sandwiches for lunch on Boxing Day with most of the gammon leftovers but the last bits were made into a quiche which we had for tea with leftover potatoes cooked in our Air Fryer with a little olive oil drizzled on them to crisp them up.My Dad bought us a huge leg of lamb so we had a LOT of leftovers from that to use up and I thought it would be a good start to my batch cooking mission to use it to make some meals to go … [Read more...]
My word of the year for 2017….
I love the start of a new year, it's like opening a shiny new notebook and writing on the pages for the first time.Being a bit of a list-aholic and a planner, I always like to set myself some New Year's Resolutions, some targets for the year and most importantly to me, a word of the year.A word of the year might sound a bit geeky if you don't do it yourself but it's actually a great way to set your focus for the year ahead and having a word of the year over the past few years has genuinely helped me to focus and achieve some of the things I wanted to achieve. My word isn't a specific … [Read more...]
Easy Chocolate Traybake recipe {Baking on a Budget}….
One of my most popular posts ever is my famous (in my mind) packed lunch cake which I used to make regularly to add to my children's packed lunches which I could make for 6p per portion.The cake itself is delicious although the 6p price per portion does reflect the smaller portion size as it's made for a child's packed lunch. Even taking into account the portion sizes, it does work out at great value and if you wanted to cut it into less portions you could have a slice double the size of the one pictured above for just 12p!I haven't made this cake in ages as both of my children are … [Read more...]
