Welcome to my monthly pre-loved bargain post, which is always one of my favourite posts to write. 😀There's something so satisfying about finding something you genuinely need or love second-hand, especially when it costs a fraction of what it would have done new.This month's finds are a real mixture of practical purchases, home finds and a couple of things that I bought because they made me smile when I spotted them. Some were charity shop finds, some came from Facebook Marketplace and a few were the sort of bargains that make you do a little happy dance when you get them home. … [Read more...]
The benefits of eSIM plans for frequent flyers….
Anyone who travels regularly will know the faff of trying to sort your phone out when you land in a new country. You either risk using your normal roaming and hope the bill is not horrifying when you get home, or you start hunting for a local SIM card before you have even made it to the hotel. And honestly, after a flight, that is the last thing anyone wants to be doing.That is where an eSIM can make life so much easier. Instead of swapping tiny plastic SIM cards in and out of your phone, an eSIM is built into your device and can be activated digitally. For frequent flyers, especially … [Read more...]
Five little things that have saved us money this week {19th June 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.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...]
Why I complain (and why I also make a point of praising good service)….
I know some people hate complaining and would rather quietly grumble to themselves, write the money off and move on with their life than actually challenge a company when something goes wrong. Honestly, I’m not naturally someone who enjoys confrontation either - I promise that I don’t wake up in the morning hoping for an argument. 😂 But I do think there’s a difference between being difficult and expecting fairness.I had a really frustrating experience recently with Sky and by the end of it I genuinely felt like I was losing my mind a little bit. It started with an overcharge on my … [Read more...]
Why I still think camping in the UK is one of the best family holidays….
I was scrolling through some old photos the other day and came across pictures from one of our camping trips to Ullswater when the kids were younger. Looking at them made me realise just how many of my favourite family memories involve a tent, a camping stove and at least one day where it rained much more than we'd hoped. 😀Don't get me wrong, we've had some amazing holidays abroad over the years and I wouldn't swap those memories for anything. Some years, camping was our main family holiday because it fitted our budget better at the time and other years it gave us the chance to … [Read more...]
Why losing weight felt easier when I had a deadline….
When I was trying to lose weight before my operation earlier this year, I felt more motivated than I had in ages. I knew that every pound I lost could help make surgery safer and recovery easier, so I had a very clear goal in mind. Every healthy meal and every walk felt like it was taking me one step closer to something important.The thing nobody really talks about is what happens afterwards.Once the operation was over and I was feeling better, I found myself struggling to maintain that same level of motivation. The urgency had gone. I wasn't working towards a specific date on the … [Read more...]
