Living the good life on a budget.
What an absolutely fantastic week it has been. Both me and my husband have been off this week so we planned to have a mini getaway which was perfect. We went to quite a nice hotel nearby for a couple of nights and we just relaxed and did nothing. I cannot remember the last time…
I feel like I’ve got in a bit of a blogging rut lately; nothing I write seems to be good enough and although I have lists of potential blog posts to write, I never want to write any of them. There’s so many different angles I want to cover, that, in some ways, I don’t…
This week in the UK is half term, where the schools break up for a week and children get a break from that everyday routine. It often means that parents need to find additional child care or take time off work to look after their little ones. It can sometimes prove to be an expensive…
In complete contrast to last week, this week has gone by so slowly! Each day seemed to drag and the weekend, though finally here, seemed a million miles away. I have suffered with a cold this week, complete with hacking cough, so that hasn’t helped matters. I’ve been in bed 9pm every night I think!…
Getting a mortgage is a big decision. For the majority of people, it’s the biggest debt you’ll ever have, and it will take the most time to get rid of it. Buying a house is a stressful process and can bring some highs and lows along with it. But, how do you find the right mortgage…
It has been a while since I last did a Life Update, so I thought I’d do another one. I’ll be honest, I feel that lately, I’ve lost my motivation for life, my enthusiasm for the everyday and the world seems to have lost its shine. I think I’d be quite happy to hibernate…
This past week has gone so quickly! Work has been incredibly busy this week and long days there mean that the evenings seem to fly by, and before you know it, it’s another day at work. We’re at my parents this weekend which is lovely. We haven’t done very much but it’s just nice to…
One of my favourite things to eat as a meal is cheese. Macaroni cheese, melted cheese on a pizza, cheese fondue or a simple toasted cheese sandwich will do me just fine. But, one of the most simple suppers to have which definitely wins on taste is a cheeseboard with grapes. Now, different people will…
I was having a conversation with someone at work recently about work in general and future plans. We were talking about where we’d like to be in 5 years time and what it might take to get there. I love having these types of conversations as it’s a topic that tends to get people more enthusiastic,…
Hello February! A new month, full of hope and adventure. February is a shorter month, which always seems to fly by, but there’s still plenty to do. We’ve got a couple of nights away booked in the middle of the month which will be nice. I’m also hoping to do some decorating as I want to…
