Thank you to WIP: Off Hours by Elvira for nominating me for The Liebster Award – I don’t think I have ever been nominated for anything before! After using Google I think it is a good way to join in with other blogs and see what new and old blogs are writing about. I will try […]
I read the top 5 money saving tips from the skint Dad blog and decided to treat you to mine. In no particular order; If you really want something (for example a new winter coat) look for something you can sell. I financed my new cobalt blue number by selling a faux fur hat & 2 pairs […]
This is just a quick post really to have a moan about putting the clocks back. Every spring and autumn my body clock goes haywire. I find myself doing that thing we did after we went decimal – “It’s quarter to six , so that’s quarter to seven last week” – only the money thing was […]
