Living the good life on a budget.
It is the season for apples. If you happen to come across an apple tree, if the apples haven’t fallen already by now then the branches should be laden with them. My parents own an apple tree which supplies them with quite a number each Autumn. They are sweet enough to be eaten as they…
I sometimes like to play a little game about winning the lottery. If you won the jackpot, that is. Things like who I would tell first, what I would buy. Perhaps where we would travel to. I think it’s fun to dream sometimes about something that is particularly unachievable. Because, winning the lottery is. Apparently,…
Five years time! It seems like quite a way off but as we all know, time files. I was tagged in this post by Chammy from Modern Money Life. I thought it would be quite interesting to answer them myself. When I look at where we were five years ago, it seems like so much…
Happy Sunday! This week seems to have gone quite slowly, probably due to lack of sleep. Frugal Baby is not sleeping well and is up multiple times a night. So, lots of nights of interrupted sleep. It’s beginning to take its toll. However. we are trying our best to get into a good routine and…
Investing for dividend income is incredibly interesting. Some months are so much better than others. The income receives varies so much month on month. August has definitely been a good month! I have been dividend investing for a while now, to create another passive income stream. Although I need to keep an eye on the market…
Another Ultimate Dream Fund update! I am so happy to be able to continue to post about our journey. Although we are in the early stages, it’s still a huge factor in our decisions. We can see the impact of our spending in our saving habits. At the end of each month I can clearly…
Hello September! As much as I sound like a cliche, I love the colder months. I’m looking forward to jumper weather! Although, as August weather-wise was so poor, I’m hoping that September is better. Only so that me and Frugal Baby can get out and do some things whilst we can. Talking of Frugal…
How is August over already?! It’s been such a lovely month. I’ve been on holiday for the entire time so I’ve had lots of time to spend with Frugal Baby. It was his second birthday at the start of the month and we celebrated it with family. He still isn’t quite aware what it means,…
As September creeps ever closer, so does the No Spend Month challenge! I have been thinking about what I need to do in order to have a successful month. I feel like there are always months which are more expensive. August is one of these months for us. But, as the whole “back to school”…
Happy Sunday! I haven’t done a Weekend Edition post since last November. How long ago is that!? In fact, the last one I did was important, as I had just found out my Grandma had passed away. I wanted to write something that day. Things have changed a lot since then. We haven’t done…
