for fabulously frugal food
Just a quick post today to tell you about some free fun we had today. Walking is the most popular leisure activity in the UK. It’s good for our well being, our health, obviously, and all sorts of good things health wise can come from it. And I’m sure the fact that...
Diet The diet started again yesterday and the 3 pounds I'd gained have gone again as of this morning. Went to help our eldest do some unpacking yesterday as they moved whilst we were away - good planning on our part I thought! Left theirs needing a shower after (not...
Do you remember us talking about regrowing vegetables from waste? This post had some spring onions. Well, a while ago, I put some spring onion stubs in an egg cup until they grew baby roots, then put them in the garden. These whoppers are the result! I have in fact...
Went for my regular coffee meeting this morning and had a little look at a couple of the many charity shops afterwards. The first one had an utterly gorgeous wicker sofa, complete with cushion over the whole seat. Would have been wonderful in the garden. But it would...
Groupon do Cusheen toilet rolls sometimes – is it worth getting the offer?
Bargain picture frames I picked up 2 sets of painted picture frames in the charity shop recently. Last year, I bought an RHS diary, and liked it so much I got another one for this year. They are packed with beautiful line drawings and I thought those frames would make...

Are you feeling the pull to spend lots of money now? Are you getting anxious about finding gifts for people difficult to buy for. Are you getting pulled into the annual spend fest? Can you actually afford it, or will you still be paying off the credit card months...
Today's post lovely people is a guest one, written for you by my brother. He is a super tight-wad, and always has been, right from when we were little, always looking for the best value he can get, even when we were talking pocket money. So, if Kevin says something is...
Most home made cleaners use the same few ingredients in different combinations. Vinegar, borax, washing soda, bicarbonate and essential oils crop up over and over again. Home made cleaners are inexpensive and well worth having a go
Fancy a ‘Free’ holiday? Stressed? Broke? Need a holiday? Want a free one? Well, who wouldn’t want one or three of those! It seems too good to be true doesn’t it. Infeasible, gimmicky and quite possibly untrue. But woah, hold your horses. The concept is mutual...
