Living the good life on a budget.
I am always on the look out for budget recipes that I can make easily for our family; preferably ones that don’t take too long and don’t cost a lot either! This smoked salmon tagliatelle is a current favourite of ours and both boys eat this quite happily. I call it “swampy pasta” as I…
August is over which means another dividend income post 🙂 I can’t believe that we’re only four months away from 2020.I am slightly disappointed as I have realised that August’s income this year is actually less than last year that’s because I have had a couple of dividend cuts and sold some holdings which has had…
Happy Monday! How are you doing? I can’t believe we’re in September now, and I’m back at work as of today 🙁 ah well, the routine and structure will do us all good, I’m sure. Monday means another meal plan post though 🙂 which just goes through what we’re eating this week so keep our food…
Hello September! I can’t believe we’re already in the ninth month of 2019 already. September should be reasonably quiet for us as it’s just a normal month with the same old routine. Apart from the fact that Alfie starts primary school this week. We tried on his uniform over the weekend, just to ensure that…
Well, I am so glad August is over! Actually, I am and I’m not. For one, it means I’m back to work on Monday but my goodness, has it been a complete wash out when it comes to the budget. I was so naive in thinking that I wouldn’t spend any more during the school…
Since posting about my No Spend September challenge, so many of you have commented to say that you’re going to join me, which is fantastic. I think that a No Spend month will definitely help me get back on track after a somewhat disastrous August. I’m quite excited about it! It always seems like a…
Happy Sunday! Have you had a good week? Me and the boys have been at my parents house this week for a little break; it’s easier with more hands plus it’s nice for a change of scene. We had some lovely times out for some walks, plus it was my Mum’s birthday so it was…
I will be total honest, August has been a wipe out so far. I did not think about the fact that I was off work with two boys for the holidays enough. Read: I have overspent in most areas. The little spends that add up quickly, seem to be sinking my budget ship, so to…
Happy Sunday! Have you had a good week? It’s been a lovely weekend so far 🙂 I spent the day with Alfie yesterday, just the two of us and it was so nice. I rarely get the chance to spend the day with him by myself and it was good. We did lots! Gymnastics, happy…
If you’ve been reading my blog recently – or not so recently – then you’ll know that we have recently had an extension done, which including making a big kitchen diner for our family 🙂 it’s finally finished and it is already becoming my favourite room in the house! It’s so spacious, clean and (sometimes)…
