Living the good life on a budget.
Hello March! I’m so glad it’s a new month, and to wave goodbye to February. I have just been feeling a bit off in terms of finances, and everything really. Both boys and I have been poorly the past week which probably hasn’t helped. I’m hoping March brings a new positivity and a reign back…
How on earth is it the end of February already?! January seemed to last years, and yet the next month has absolutely flown by. Strange how that happens. I seem to have lost my motivation somewhat this month. I think that the lack of sleep is starting to catch up with me and I just…
How is your 2018 looking so far? Hopefully you are on the way to reaching your financial goals, if you’ve set yourself some. If saving money or making some extra money is your goal this year, then it’s important that you’ve organised your PPI claims. Maybe you’ve seen Arnold Schwarzenegger shouting at people to…
As I recently admitted in my No Spend Month challenge group on Facebook, I am struggling at the moment with spending. I seem to be spending more and more often, even if it’s only little things. But, these little things are adding up. That combined with maternity leave mean that I’m definitely becoming a little…
I have recently rejoined Slimming World after previously being a member before being pregnant. I do enjoy the plan and it does work well if you stick to it. There are weeks where it’s more tricky, but I am enjoying it on the whole. But, as with any healthier eating plan, Slimming World can…
The weekend edition post used to be a weekly update here at The Frugal Cottage, but I am finding it more and more tough to find the time. The days are so busy and full of feeding, winding, hoping my children will nap and generally surviving, that blogging has taken a back seat. I…
Another dividend income report time and the first of 2018. I am so excited to see what the numbers add up to at the end of this year. However, shares have been particularly rocky this past few days, so it’s always a bit tough to see the numbers go down. But, unless I sell my…
Hello February! I can’t believe we’re into the second month already. Last month seemed to pass by so quickly, even though we didn’t do that much. Just transitioning into a family of four 🙂 but I’m looking forward to seeing what February brings. It should be a quiet month for us on the whole, but…
How on earth is it the end of January already? I can’t believe how fast January has gone by. I suppose sleep deprivation will do that – all the days seem to merge into one. But, we’ve survived 🙂 and our two boys are thriving, though one is slightly more testing than the other! …
This is a guest post by Charli who blogs over at One Wage Family – enjoy! Water is one of those essential bills we have to pay, and one in which many people believe they can’t save money on. Unlike with Gas and Electricity, you cant switch water companies. However there are still many…
