Airport Lounge Access from £4.25 each

If you are travelling from an airport then you might consider taking advantage of one of the airport lounges on offer. The airport lounges allow you to wait for your flight in a comfortable area, with complimentary food, drinks, Wi-Fi, daily newspapers and more. Last year I had my first taste of airport lounge access, and I was keen to visit again on our recent trip to Florida. I posted a photograph from the airport

Quick, thrifty meals

In an ideal world, we would grow our own produce and lovingly cook a week’s worth of meals at the weekend to freeze. And probably photograph them and pin them on Pinterest whilst we are at it. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that. By not having quick and easy meals to hand, you may find yourself opting for a pricey takeaway, eating out more or consuming a dinner of chocolate and crisps. I’m guilty of all

How to manage your money better

We would all like to manage our money better. I used to get stuck looking at my balance and trying to figure out whether certain bills had come out and whether I would have enough money to cover the next bill. Now I don’t have that problem, due to a banking system that is known as piggy banking. Piggy banking is where I take my income and divide it into separate “pots”, depending on what

Getting a monthly food box

  Degustabox is a monthly surprise food and drink subscription box. The items you get are a surprise and the box encourages you to try different recipes and ingredients.  I have really enjoyed the July and August boxes, and the September Degustabox did not fail to impress me. This box includes a great assortment of things I can pop in my lunch bag (the lentil waves and the Pick Up bars), a little something to

August Degustabox

The day my Degustabox arrived, I was having the week from hell. Everything that could go wrong did and on top of this I was extremely busy. Not a good combination. I almost cried with joy when I got home and opened up the box. Although I have only received two boxes, my first box left me wondering whether to continue. The August box, however, had me certain that I wanted to continue. Included in

Degustabox review

I’ve been reading a lot about Degustabox across various blogs, so I thought I would give it a try for a thrifty review. I had contacted Degustabox asking if they would be willing to supply a box for a blog review, but they didn’t get back to me until they were preparing the boxes – after I had already paid for my first box. So this review comes from someone who has forked out their

Cheap trick when ringing your bank

Don’t you just love it when you have to ring your bank, from your mobile, and they’ve only got an 0845 number? Of course you could look up another number online, but sometimes that isn’t convenient. If you just turn over your bank card or even your credit card, you’ll see a (usually 0845) number to ring, but next to that is the ‘calling internationally’ number – and this is a normal landline telephone number

How I lost £300 – a cautionary tale

It will be no surprise to you that I micromanage our finances. I know, within the penny, what should be in my account at any given moment, and I check my accounts daily. At the start June, I had an unexpected £300 extra in my bank account. Now wait a moment – HOW? I even went as far as to ring my bank to see what was up. I spent almost 15 minutes on the
