You might have seen in my Five Frugal things post last week that I taught Miss Frugal how to mend a hole in her trousers. This is something I thought would be the first thing they would teach in her sewing lessons at school but no, she can cover a notebook in fabric like a pro but they haven't got to the part where they learn actual life skills yet!It seems a bit like basic skills that our grandparents took for granted have been forgotten about. Things like sewing can be looked at as being a bit old fashioned which is a real shame because it can save money and give you a feeling of … [Read more...]

Does Washing Clothes At 30 Degrees Really Work? My Accidental Experiment….
I've washed most of our clothes at 30°C for years now.I still wash things like bedding, towels, bath mats and particularly dirty whites at a higher temperature, but for everyday clothes I've always been happy with a 30 degree wash. It's cheaper to run, it's gentler on our clothes and I've never felt like they come out anything other than clean.Last weekend though, I accidentally did my own little experiment.I started the day by washing our bedding, towels and bath mats, so I turned the washing machine up to 60°C as I normally would. The problem was that I completely forgot to … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved finds {July 2026}….
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 I thought I'd share just two of my favourite pre-loved finds with you as there's quite a lot to tell you about them both...You might have seen me mention this in last week's five little things post but this month we bought one of my favourite things for the house so far.

A week of doing one job a day….
Our house needs a lot of work. 😁It's absolutely liveable and it's clean and tidy, but it's definitely dated and needs an overhaul from top to bottom. We have so many plans for what we want to do here that I genuinely don't think there's a room in the house that won't eventually get some attention.When we moved in at the end of February, we went a bit mad with the renovations. Getting the kids' bedrooms sorted was the priority, and my office was high on the list too because I was due to go back to work not long after my operation. We also couldn't wait to get the dining room … [Read more...]
Affordable Greek Island Holidays for Families: Where to Go?
Family holidays can be fun. Greece has remained one of the top choices for families seeking outdoor adventure and activities. With its near-perfect sunny conditions and plenty of islands, it can offer a range of holiday experiences. Families interested in enjoying crystal-clear beaches, walking local fishing towns and relishing delicious local cuisine can make the most of Greek islands that have so much to offer. While islands like Santorini and Mykonos offer spectacular landscapes and experiences, they are also not the most affordable ones. However, the good thing is that with 6000 plus … [Read more...]
