When we moved into our new house, one of the very first things we did was fit a shower in the main bathroom because somehow, there wasn’t actually a shower in there at all and that was a non-negotiable for us. 🚿At the time, we decided to save a bit of money and cut a corner by using a shower curtain instead of fitting a proper shower door straight away. It felt like one of those “that’ll do for now” jobs while we focused on everything else that comes with moving into a house that needs updating. Fast forward to this morning though, and the shower curtain pole has completely fallen … [Read more...]
Things I Forgot To Do When I Moved House (So You Don’t Have To)….
I like to think I’m quite an organised person. 😁 I make lists, I plan ahead and I’m generally on top of most things… I own a filofax so that makes me organised by default, right? Moving house humbled me though and showed me that I am not the organised person because I managed to forget some really obvious things! Not big dramatic things, just the kind of small, annoying jobs that you don’t think about until they come back and bite you in the bum later on. I completely forgot to tell most of my friends that we'd actually moved house and one friend who had obviously missed … [Read more...]
Why is giving things away on Facebook Marketplace so stressful?
I don’t know what it is about giving things away on Facebook Messenger but in my experience, it leads to some very random messages landing in my inbox. Recently, we’ve been having a proper clear out at our new house and we've been listing a mix of things that were left here by the previous family and things that we absolutely should never have brought with us when we moved. You know those things that somehow make it into the moving van rather than the pile that's heading to the charity shop because you’re too tired to make sensible decisions by that point and future you is left … [Read more...]
The Best Potato Salad Recipe in the World (not even exaggerating)….
I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you that my potato salad recipe is the Best potato salad recipe in the World! It’s actually the only thing I make that has people asking me for the recipe afterwards… which feels like a proper badge of honour if you ask me. 😂 I first made it about five years ago when I was trying to recreate a potato salad I’d eaten at a barbecue the week before. You know how that goes — you have something amazing somewhere else and then spend ages trying to work out what made it so good. Well… in trying to recreate it, I somehow ended up making … [Read more...]
What International eSIMs Offer Travellers Planning Trips Abroad….
One of the things I always think about before we go away now is how we’re going to stay connected once we land. It used to be something we just sorted when we got there, whether that meant paying whatever roaming charges came up or wandering around an airport trying to find somewhere to buy a SIM card. Neither option is ideal when you’re tired and just want to get to your hotel and start your trip.These days though, there’s a much easier way to deal with it, and it’s something I wish we’d started using sooner. Electronic SIMs, or eSIMs, basically let you sort your mobile data before you … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {1st May 2026}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey!1) I'm officially back at work now after my operation and I'm so excited to have that routine back in my life as I genuinely do enjoy my job and I whilst I love the odd week off work for annual leave where the inevitable lack of routine is welcome, an extended period with no routine or focus is not good for me so this last couple of weeks especially, … [Read more...]
