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...]

Five Frugal Things we did when we moved house….
We bought a project house. It's live-able but it definitely needs work and we have so many plans to turn it into our home. We plan to do most of the work ourselves gradually so we know we can stick to a tight budget - and it needs to be a tight budget based on the amount of work that we need to do and the plans we have. 😁So, life's going to be very busy for the foreseeable. It's actually been a month since we moved in but I've not been well so haven't really updated you since then which means now that I've had my operation and am starting to feel better, I … [Read more...]
Decluttering my wardrobe before we move house….
Moving house has a funny way of forcing decisions you’ve been quietly avoiding.I've been struggling to close the doors on my wardrobe for a good six months now and if I open a drawer then I always know it's going to be a battle to close it again but I've been ignoring it because sorting through my clothes is a task I most definitely was not looking forward to. It's not that I buy a lot of clothes but when I moved out of my home, I didn't take all of my clothes as I didn't have space for them all. I took what I needed and the rest was stored away in the garage and I bought new (or … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {20th March 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 found a pound on the floor when I walked down into our village high street on Sunday so I thought I'd use it to buy a scratch card. 😁 I won £10 so cashed it straight in and went to the charity shop where I bought myself a pair of trousers that I'll wear loads (Next, brand new with the tags still on them) and a pair of Zara trousers … [Read more...]
Thrifted Christmas Decorations: Why Second-Hand Sparkle Is the Best Kind….
I’m definitely not one of those people with a picture-perfect, colour-coordinated Christmas tree that looks like it’s just stepped off the front of a magazine. I actually was that person for a couple of years — but only by accident! We’d just moved house right before Christmas and somehow lost our tree in all the boxes. So, on Christmas Eve, we ended up tree shopping at the last minute. One of the big stores was selling off their display trees, complete with all the matching silver, white and lilac decorations, for a ridiculously low price. I think we paid about £15 for a seven-foot tree that … [Read more...]
A Budget-Friendly Christmas: Making the Holidays Feel Magical Without Overspending….
Christmas is such a lovely time of year – full of warmth, joy, and a bit of sparkle – but it can also be expensive. Between presents, food, decorations and all those little extras, the costs soon start to creep up. Add the pressure to make everything perfect and it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. The truth is, a special Christmas doesn’t have to cost a fortune. The best parts are usually the ones that don’t cost much at all – laughter, cosy nights in, and those little traditions that mean something to your family. A homemade gift, a shared meal, or a night of board games and hot … [Read more...]
