Okie Dokie, so Black Friday has landed upon these fair shores and it is time to hunt out a bargain. Please do read my Thrifty Guide to Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the UK post, for lots of tips and tricks for saving extra money and also to prevent any nasty little mistakes. Always remember,…

I’m all for hunting down second hand finds or investing in a coat which will last you years but sometimes that isn’t possible for one reason or another…mostly financial! When it comes to coats, with our chop and change British weather, sometimes you just need one now and sometimes you only have so much left…

Earlier today I was having a good sniff around the SpaceNK website for a dear friend’s birthday present when I stumbled across one of my favourite make up brands, Stila in the sale section. This was special to me because it was their lip glosses I spotted on offer and my lips are a tad…

Check out this lovely little deal I spotted this week. These gorgeous Emma Bridgewater wellington boots are currently priced at £9.99 down from £38.00.

Train fares can induce pain in both the head, stomach and err…arse.

Birmingham New Street to London Euston £5.50 each way London to Glasgow £38.00…

Don’t put those slow cookers away just because summer and warm(ish) weather have rolled round, there are still plenty of ways to use a slow cooker during the summer months. Perhaps I should share some summer slow cooker recipes during the summer months, what say ye? If You Don’t Already Have a Slow Cooker Now is…

One of the simplest ways to save a chunk of cash each month, without too much effort, is to make your lunch at home and take it in with you rather than dining out or buying something ready made. However as we draw into the winter sandwiches get old and they do nothing for the…

Oh me, oh my I love a discount or special offer. It's a rare occasion that I buy something without a discount code, voucher, sale or deal. I mention voucher codes etc. a lot over here but I'm always surprised at the sheer amount of people who don't use or even know about them. I…
