For the longest time, I was convinced I wouldn't like overnight oats.The name just made me think of cold, soggy porridge that had been forgotten about in the fridge overnight. It didn't sound remotely appealing and, despite hearing people rave about them for years, I never felt tempted to give them a go.But I needed to get better at breakfast and in order to do that, I needed to be able to just grab something from the fridge and eat it as I knew I just wouldn't bother if it wasn't easy as I've never been a breakfast person. I gave them a try, and I couldn't have been more … [Read more...]

How to do a Digital Declutter…
Now is the time to do a digital declutter and today, I'm going to give you some tips and tricks on how you can declutter and simplify your digital life.I can't recommend a digital declutter enough. I can't work at a messy desk because it drives me mad and, as daft as it sounds when there are much bigger things to worry about in the world, it genuinely stresses me out. I'm exactly the same with my phone and laptop. When my inbox is overflowing, my desktop is covered in random files, my phone is constantly pinging and I can't find the photos or documents I need, it all starts to feel a bit … [Read more...]
Homemade Febreze for under 20p a bottle….
I've been making my own homemade Febreze for years now and it still makes regular appearances in my weekly "Five Little Things That Saved Me Money This Week" posts. I realised recently though that the original post I wrote about it is well overdue an update, so I thought I'd dust it off, give it a refresh and share it again. Partly because I've treated myself to a new spray bottle and was looking for an excuse to show it off! The old one had seen better days and was looking more than a little grubby after years of being topped up and dragged from room to room. The new one is a lovely white … [Read more...]
How to dress for every occasion this summer without spending a lot…
Every year, summer seems to arrive all at once... One minute I'm still wearing jumpers and convincing myself that I don't need to put the heating on, and the next my diary is filling up with days out, family get-togethers, barbecues and all the other things that seem to happen when the sun finally decides to make an appearance.Along with all of that usually comes the realisation that my wardrobe isn't quite as prepared for summer as I'd like it to be. There always seems to be an occasion coming up that I don't quite have the right thing to wear for, whether that's a family celebration, … [Read more...]
All the ways I’ve been ‘influenced’ lately….
I’d love to tell you that I’m completely immune to being influenced by social media but apparently that’s absolutely not the case. 😂I think being off work for a while probably hasn’t helped either because I’ve definitely had more time for scrolling lately and social media is very good at making you think you need things you’d never normally even consider buying. Somehow my algorithms have decided that I need a sparkling house, glowing skin, organised kitchen cupboards and a utility room full of gadgets and, if I’m honest, I’ve definitely been persuaded by more than a few things … [Read more...]
How I’ve used Plum to up my savings game this year….
I’ve been using Plum for a little while now and, honestly, it’s one of those apps that makes me feel like I’ve got my life together far more than I probably have. 😂 I know that sounds dramatic for a money app, but there’s something about having little pots, savings rules and even a tiny bit of investing going on in the background that makes me feel like a proper grown-up. Not the kind of grown-up who has matching Tupperware lids or remembers to cancel free trials on time, obviously, but a grown-up all the same.Plum is basically an app that can help you save, budget and invest in a … [Read more...]
