At the end of the year last year I decided that it would be a nice idea to do a bit of a round-up of what we'd been up to at the end of every month. I managed the first few months with no problem but I missed April and May after losing my Dad and another much-loved family member. We spent that time coming together as a family and trying to get over our losses and if I'm honest, we (especially me) were a little bit broken and at times, just getting through the days felt like a huge achievement. We had to make a conscious effort to spend time together because at first, it was too easy to … [Read more...]

Let’s Test: Tesco flowers 14 day freshness guarantee….
Usually, when you buy supermarket flowers they come with a 5 or 7 day freshness guarantee which means exactly what it sounds like it does - that your flowers will stay looking fresh for at least that period of time. That freshness guarantee is something I look for when I buy any fresh flowers because, in my experience, even reduced price flowers last for at least as long as the length of time the label says the guarantee is for. I've only ever had a couple of experiences where the guarantee hasn't worked - one it kind of did work as the flowers didn't exactly die within the guarantee … [Read more...]
20 ways to love your leftovers….
Using up your leftover food can save you money as well as time so for today's round up post I thought I'd share 20 ways to turn your leftovers into a whole new meal.... One of the things that makes me smile when I think about my lovely old Nana was how she could whip up a meal in the kitchen from practially nothing. There was nothing wasted and anything she didn't use for one meal was incorporated into the next one - she really knew how to work those leftovers. For years, I didn't even think about leftovers - if it wasn't eaten then it went in the bin (I know, I'm hanging my … [Read more...]
Amazon Prime Benefits That You May Not Know Exist….
Until recently, I had no idea that there were so many benefits to being an Amazon Prime member so I thought I'd share a few of my favourite Amazon Prime benefits with you today. I originally bought Amazon Prime about 18 months ago when a couple of the Xbox games that Master Frugal had added to his Christmas wishlist were actually cheaper for Amazon Prime members. It was the first time I'd come across this difference in price and over the two games, it was just short of £20 difference. I'd been umming and aahing for a little while about signing up simply because of the free one-day … [Read more...]
15 tips to help you to ‘have it all’ as a Working Mum…. #PressforProgress
Today is International Women's day which is a day that woman unite across the world to fight for equality! I can't tell you how sad it makes me that in 2018, women are still campaigning for equal rights - a movement started by the Suffragettes in the early 1900's. Those brave ladies started this fight for us and over 100 years later, despite the vast improvements to women's rights, we still aren't equal in all areas of society. It really is time to #PressforProgress and do what we can to finish what the Suffragettes started! I wanted to share this post with you today because it … [Read more...]
That was…. February!
Happy 1st March! At the end of last year, I decided that it would be a nice idea to do a post once a month giving you a bit of an update on our lives. I added a reminder to my calendar for the first of every month and planned to share a round-up of all the fun we've had as a family throughout the month. January's update wasn't as much family fun as is was struggling to get through the month but I had high hopes for February's update post as we had a good five days with everyone free of the lurgy at the end of January. Let's see how we got on shall we? Last month I reported how … [Read more...]
