Living the good life on a budget.
Whilst I was at university, I sold quite a few things on Ebay to create some extra income during the term, including one where I needed the extra money quickly as I’d run out. I did quite well in terms of selling items quickly and getting positive feedback, so I thought I’d share some tips…
In most of the financial blogs I read, their owners have multiple income streams. They don’t always share specific numbers, but they all talk about their various streams of income.

One of the things that makes my life much easier is that my husband is just as interested and focused about finances as I am. He is always searching to get the best deals on things we want to buy, looks at the offers in the supermarkets for me and generally is another frugal person….

So, following on from the last two budget posts, How To Make A Budget and 3 Easy Ways To Stick To A Budget, I thought it would be good to share our budget and how it works for us. Plus, I’ve done two different budget templates on Google Docs which I’ll share with you too…
I am so glad this week is over. It has gone so slowly even though each day has been busy! Also, what is going on with the weather in the UK? It’s been sunny and then torrential rain. It’s supposed to be summer! I managed to have 5 NSDs this week, as I didn’t need…
