Tomorrow will be one year since I published the first post on this blog. I never set the blog up to really take it anywhere or make it into anything. I simply wanted somewhere to write and give advice. If anyone saw it, even better. I’ve had more views and website visits than I really …
I love Christmas. We live on a main street, near a school and so since we moved we’ve always said we’d try and decorate the outside of the house during the festive season. This would hopefully bring a little joy and excitement to the kids as they leave school in the dark every weekday (sorry …
I’ve written before about how to slash the price of coffee and also about the benefits of buying a brew in a coffee shop to be productive with work, however, this post is all about how to save a few pennies from your regular drink. Especially during the festive season, the lure of limited edition …
There’s nothing quite like a freebie. Whether it’s a free can of pop in a train station as part of a promotion, or a freebie on a cashback site. When it’s well and truly free, it’s awesome. What if that freebie was life saving? I’ve spoken before about giving blood, a real freebie (where you …
Looking ahead to Christmas (3 months time!), do my kids, and do we as a family, really need more toys, more clutter, more things? The answer is no. We don’t.

People so often look down their noses at camping, or turn them up at it. But camping gives holidays without crazy expense. We, as a family, don’t have a …

Here are a few of my favourites that I’ve spotted or been sent… ‘Greggs Rewards’ via the Greggs app gives you a freebie on your birthday worth about £1. Your own little birthday cake, or muffin, or doughnut! Register a ‘La …
How do you fancy a break? How about the superhero-esqe ability to take just 9 annual leave days, but enjoy 18 consecutive days off work? Well this year, you can do just that! Where will your travels take you? If you set off somewhere after work on Thursday April 13th, you’ll be able to use …
There’s nothing quite like a box set binge. Whatever your poison is, be it science fiction, drama or comedy, there’s usually something being advertised somewhere for you to lose yourself in. Whilst there are good shows on ‘regular’ TV – we watched Mr Selfridge religiously and it was on ITV – a lot of the …
