‘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. One Sunday, my friend and I go to the cinema and grab some lunch, and of course,
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

Their Lacura skin care and beauty products have a great reputation, so I was thrilled when they got in touch to ask if I’d like to test out some products.

This edition is a. late and b. has some cheeky extras thrown in, because I struck gold in a few other shops and it cover more than one week’s car boot sale finds. Up first, we have the few cheeky non-boot sale finds. Thanks to my new diet and exercise regime, as well as everyone on Twitter being into it, I decided to buy some protein powder from Holland and Barrett. Not only was their
It’s Sunday, which can only mean one thing – boot sale day! The sun was shining, bacon sandwiches had been consumed and I had 5 crispy £10 notes in my wallet from last month’s £10 per day challenge, ready to spend on Things to make me rich. And today did not disappoint. We found a stall selling Coke glasses, and being big fans, we wanted to snap them up. We had agreed a deal for
A few weeks ago I blogged my boot sale haul, and here I am to let you know what has sold on eBay since then, and how much I’ve made. Purchases: MAC eyeshadow bought for £1.50. Not sold yet 3 Benefit, 1 Burt’s Bees and 1 Too Faced make up items bought for £2. The Benefit Erase Paste sold for £6. The others are yet to sell. Barbie camera bought for 50p – not listed
This past weekend has been a busy one – it was free eBay listing (I don’t always blog about free listing so be sure to follow me on Twitter) and I was looking after Tony’s 7 year old niece for a full day on Saturday. But despite that, I was determined to go and visit a car boot sale as a buyer, especially as it had been tipping it down the weekend before so I
As you all know, I love boot sales! Both buying and selling, I think they’re a great way to spend a few hours outside at the weekend, never mind making money! The train that Tony needs to catch to get home from his night shift on a Sunday are around 3 hours after he finishes work, so I offered to go pick him up as long as we could go to a boot sale afterwards,
