Howdy Peeps! You may think I'm insane (you should know that if you've been here a while!) especially as it's our last day of school here for summer, but let's talk Christmas. It is 5 months today (or 22 weeks yesterday) until the big day! That's not long when organising as much as we do. [...]
Hello Saturday Peeps! Sorry for being MIA earlier this week, thought I'd give you a nice long post to make up for it! 😉 It's been a change-filled week, quite a lot of it money related, so I thought I'd share in case it can help any of you lovely Peeps. Firstly, it's 7 months [...]
Hi-de-ho Peeps! 6th April marks the start of a new financial/tax year in the UK. Just thought it was a good idea to stop and take stock of our budget, look at how our goals for this calendar year have progressed and obviously, start on the tax return. (Is it sad that I enjoy that? [...]
Hello Monday Peeps! I'm far too hyper for a Monday morning, maybe because it's the 17th anniversary of our engagement....aww I love the old man! 😉 I thought I'd give you a budget update; January is a pain in the butt, but we knew it would be so it's OK. I have 3 savings pots [...]
It's Friday Peeps!! YAY! I think people need to do what works for them (because managing money is important) but there are some people who seem to make it overly complicated. So I thought I'd share what I do. I use my planner now, but until this year I did it with a calendar and [...]
...yes really! Howdy Peeps! You probably know (or can guess) that I've started on Christmas already. This will be our 9th credit-free Christmas. 🙂 We have done a number of savings/budgeting options over the years, so I thought I'd give you a few options... remember it doesn't have to be the same as anyone else [...]
Hellooooo Peeps! (Putting the date as the title, I was kinda tempted to start with "Captain's Log Star-date 20180107"....but thought it'd put off any non-Trekkies because I'm not talking sci-fi today.) So, being 1st July, we're on the home-stretch; the latter half of the year. What does that mean to you? To me, it means [...]
Howdy Peeps! Y'all can probably work out that yesterday was 7 months until Christmas! 🙂 🙂 🙂 If you were here the end of last year, you'll know how much I love Christmas (understatement of the year!) and how much I love planning. The thing is we've lived for years on a tighter budget and [...]
Morning Peeps! How Y'all doing? I think by now, most people will have figured out that we need to save money for Budget Busters and Planning Ahead. There are several ways to save and may different things to save for, so I thought I'd elaborate. Mr.B likes to micro-manage so he has accounts and saving jars for literally every [...]
Morning Peeps! I hope you're all warm and safe where you are? Our road is like sheet ice, so won't be going anywhere today! I wanted to talk to you about the things I think are worth buying branded (as a follow-up to 10 Things I Always Buy Cheap I posted the other day) but I also [...]
A Peace of Life
