I panicked a few of you in yesterday's five frugal things post with my mention of Christmas so I thought I'd share a few of my favourite ways to make extra money over the next few days starting with this post today all about the best paid survey sites online. Hands up if you could do with a little help saving for a big event or celebration? Of if you'd like a chance to use some of your spare time making a little extra month? 🙋‍♀️ Me too, which is why I'm a fan of survey sites. I'll be honest, you're never going to make a fortune from … [Read more...]

Some people go with Scone (rhymes with gone) and others go for Scone (rhymes with stone). I'm in the rhymes with gone camp and anytime I hear someone pronounce it the other way, I can't … [Read more...]

Hey! 👐1) I had some bananas to use up so instead of using my usual go-to banana recipes, I thought I'd attempt a flapjack instead. I'll be honest though, it wasn't the biggest success ever as the silicone baking tray that I used was too big so by the time I'd spread the flapjack mixture out, it was practically paper-thin.In case you're … [Read more...]

Today I'm going to tell you how to clean your washing machine because if yours is anything like mine then it could probably do with some love! Have you ever noticed how dirty your washing machine can get inside? They clean so much dirt and grime off our clothes so it's only natural that they do get a bit grubby inside but it's really important to keep on top of cleaning it because that'll not only help it to clean your clothes better, it will also help the machine itself last longer. I'm much better at cleaning mine now than I used to be and last weekend was washing machine cleaning … [Read more...]
