I have to admit, I’m pretty terrible at saving money unless I have a deadline in mind like paying off a holiday. So here are 10 easy ways I use to save money. 1.

On Being a “Bad Mum”
Last night when I couldn’t sleep (still struggling with jetlag) I watched the movies Bad Moms. I’m not going to review the movie but I did enjoy it as it was my sense of humour, it was definitely much better than I thought.

Leaving your home for any length of time can be worrying especially if you feel you have left anything of value behind. Not only do Little Miss and I often go away on holiday, but as I’m currently in a long distance relationship I’m away at least once or twice a month at the weekend. I feel blessed to be living in a good area of town, it’s residential near good schools so there is always someone keeping an eye, but you still can never…

I’ve made no secret of the fact I watch very little TV, this is mainly to do I do a lot of watching on my iPad when really I should invest in a TV for my bedroom, such as the Panasonic 4K TV, it would make me want to spend more time watching rather than playing on my phone, that’s for sure! However, last week three of my favourite TV shows returned after their summer break, all with new seasons, and I couldn’t be happier! Anyway, first up; Once Upon a Time I have watched Once Upon a Time since the very first episode and stuck through it even when…
