As the weeks continue to fly by, work gets more and more busy in the run up to Christmas, I feel myself wishing that time would go just that bit slower. I have so much to do and not enough time! We have had yet more car issues this week as well, which are hopefully…

Foodie Friday: Homemade Chicken Stock [Slow Cooker]
As the nights draw in and the days are getting closer, the more we seem to eat comfort food; soups with chunky homemade bread, stews with gravy and mashed potato, chicken with tasty sauces and homemade chips. I think as the seasons change, so does our eating patterns. It almost feels like we’re preparing ourselves…
How To Survive Christmas On A Budget, Part One
As Christmas draws ever nearer, the pressure and costs seemingly rise at an alarming rate. There still seems to be so much to do, so many thing still to buy, lots of people to organise and a never-ending stream of adverts don’t help matters. Not to point out the obvious, but Christmas happens every…
The Weekend Edition #20
Another week over! And we’re definitely firmly into Autumn now, with the dark nights and cooler weather. It has rained a lot this week which makes going outside more of a hassle; I’d rather just stay inside in the warm with a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake. We had some car…
Why Role Models Make Me A Better Person
A role model, by definition, is someone who inspires others, whose life can be envied and who people want to be. A role model has the power the influence others, to change their lifestyle and their wants and desires. Being a good role model is often setting a good example to the younger generation, though…
Healthy Eating On A Budget
Each month I set myself a goal to lose 4 lbs, which equates at a lb a week, give or take. I know that eating healthily is important, and maintaining a healthy weight is important, but I sometimes struggle to eat the best I can. I read a lot of cookery blogs and healthy eating…
The Weekend Edition #19
I have been off work this week and what a difference it makes to morale. Knowing that I don’t have to get up at 6:45am every morning and make my way to work for the day is such a good feeling; I like my job but it’s hard going at times so I’m glad of…
November Aims
Hello November! November and December are my favourite months of the year, as the nights draw in and I can get away with wearing big chunky jumpers and slipper socks. Our bathroom renovation got postponed in October, but is due to start November 17th, so I’m looking forward to having that completed this month. It’ll…
October 2014: A Month In Review
Another month is over and we creep ever closer towards Christmas and the holidays. October has been reasonably good to us, though perhaps not as good as it could have been finance-wise. It was our car’s MOT this month, and whilst it was lower than it could have been, it still cost us £370 to…
The Pros and Cons of Loyalty Cards
I’m the first to admit that I’m a fan of loyalty cards. I can earn points which then gets me money off/vouchers? Okay, count me in! In fact, I probably have the majority that the UK market has to offer, if I look into my purse. A loyalty card scheme often has one of…
