Teleshopping is evil, pure evil. You are sitting there with nothing else to watch, and after about twenty minutes you have decided that your life is incomplete unless you get hold of whatever product they are advertising. This happened to me a few months ago when I was watching an advert for a steam mop. Although we manage to keep our house tidy and clean, I felt as though some areas of our house just
Visiting Orlando is really exciting, and knowing how much spending money for Orlando can seem like a minefield. In this post I am going to let you know how much spending money you need for Orlando. We all holiday differently, meaning that there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ for how much spending money you need for Orlando. Where you are staying, how many theme parks you are visiting and how much shopping you plan to
Most of us are guilty of hoarding a few too many items in our wardrobes. Often, clothing will hang around for years before we finally get rid of it- maybe because it cost a lot when new, you’re saving it for that fancy dress party, or maybe you’re keeping it for sentiment. Everyone has their own reasons for why they struggle to close the wardrobe door, but if you’re due a clear out, it might
Over the past year or two I have had a lot of trouble with sleep. Either I can’t get to sleep or I have trouble staying asleep, waking up around 3am on the dot most nights. Sometimes I can get back to sleep easily, but other times that’s it, I’m awake. I’ve recently been trying out a few things that have helped me, and I thought I would share them with you. Here are 5
When we are looking at ways to save a lot of money really easily, switching our gas and electric providers is one of those jobs that takes a few minutes but can yield really big results. Here is how I saved £163 by switching my gas and electric, plus a £50 Bulb referral credit for you if you switch using my link. I am not new to switching our gas and electric providers – it
Black Friday is a great time to make use of sales and save lots of money in the run up to Christmas, but it is also easy to get carried away and spend more than you want. Black Friday is happening later this week, on 24 November 2017 and I have teamed up with MyVoucherCodes to share five ways to save money during Black Friday. Remember that although Black Friday is happening on 24 November
I live in Ely, Cambridgeshire, which is a lovely, picturesque cathedral city. You will find amazing tea shops, a stunning cathedral and a gorgeous river. What you wouldn’t find, was a modern cinema. We usually have a 50 mile round trip to see the latest films at Cineworld Huntingdon. That is, until now! Cineworld Ely has recently opened and I was invited to the opening Gala. Here’s what I thought. Despite this long trek, we still
It is no secret that Tony and I love a good meal! We love to eat out at restaurants (often paid for via mystery shopping) but we also love to cook from scratch, making delicious meals at a fraction of the cost of eating out. We were recently sent a Gousto box to try out, and I can’t wait to tell you about it! What is Gousto? Gousto is a convenient way to cook healthy

Every year I head out to the Boxing Day sales, mainly to visit Lush and Boots. Here are the bargains I found in the 2016 Boxing Day sales. This year we visited Peterborough for our sales shopping, armed with a list of what we wanted to get. I’ll admit that after 4 stores we just gave up and came home! The first store was Lush, where we were queuing from 8.30! The queue outside was
If you follow any of my favourite thrifty Instagram accounts then you might have seen some of the amazing freebies and deals available via o2 Priority. These deals include getting lunch for just £1 on Mondays (including the Boots meal deal) and other freebies. These items are a great perk of being an o2 customer, but this little hack means that everyone can take advantage of the o2 Priority benefits. All you need to do
Everybody loves a good freebie, especially when that freebie is chocolate ! Not just any chocolate, but a whole bag of Dairy Milk Giant Buttons! Here’s how you can grab yourself some free chocolate buttons and other freebies along the way, using the Shopmium app. What’s the Shopmium app? The Shopmium app is available for Android and iOS (simply search the app store or market), and it allows you to get cashback on your
I absolutely love giving and receiving hampers as gifts, I think they make the ideal gift. You can fill them with all sorts of goodies, from food and drink to themed hampers, such as a date night hamper or a film night hamper. The closer we get to Christmas, the harder it is to find hamper baskets on a budget. I have put together my favourites to share with you. Hamper baskets with kitsch lining

I love a good rummage around a boot sale, and the past few months have been great for finding amazing things for sale. I’m on the lookout for things to resell on eBay, Nice Things for me and wedding stuff. I’ve started posting some of my hauls to YouTube (here is my most recent one including a dressing table mirror!) but I thought I’d share some of my other finds with you. The first boot
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
