It’s no secret that I love Orlando, Florida. It’s where Tony proposed, it’s where I’ve been on holiday for the past 3 years and it’s where we definitely want our honeymoon (with a few upgrades!). I knew that realistically, we couldn’t afford to go to Florida again this year, and we’d have to wait for our honeymoon next year. This upset me more than I am willing to admit, so I’m really excited that we’ve
It is no secret that I love mystery shopping, so I’m excited to let you know about The Mystery Dining company. They pay you to enjoy a meal and then to report back and explain how it was. The Mystery Dining Company offer a substantial reimbursement amount for your meal, but they do not offer you a fee for going. What this means is that instead of perhaps a £8.75 reimbursement from Market Force (where you
‘If it appreciates, buy it. If it depreciates, lease it’. Wise words by Paul Getty, a billionaire oil tycoon. And that’s why I now always lease a car! You might be wondering if you can save money with a lease car, or whether it really is good value for money. Here are my thoughts. Let’s rewind a couple of months.

As I’m sure you’ve come to understand, I’m a bargainista. I like getting great deals and I don’t like spending money. A GHD Air costs £89 from Amazon. For a hair dryer. I’ll let you pick yourself up from the floor now. I’d read a ton
Find a penny pick it up, that’s how the old phrase goes! But if you see a penny (or any coin!) on the ground, do you pick it up, or walk straight past it? Only one in two people will stop to pick up a penny. Which side of the coin are you? We love picking up coins from the ground, and starting in January, we decided to dedicate one of our coin jars to
I have long, thick hair that often gets weighed down and I suffer from product build up, often resorting to using bicarb to eliminate my greasy hair. I also straighten my hair with GHDs 95% of the time, which means the ends are always in need of conditioning. The condition of my hair is better since investing in a GHD air hair dryer, but I’m always looking for thrifty ways to improve my hair. I
In our house at the moment, we are both crazy busy. Tony and I work complete opposite schedules, I get home an hour before he has to leave for work, so cooking together is a thing of the past. I’ve come to rely on our slow cooker more and more so that I can contribute to our evening meals. A recent visit to The One Stop found me with 4 packs of tomatoes for 10p
