Budget Bucket List Challenge Entry

by

When I received an email to enter the MoneySuperMarket Budget Bucket List Competition, I decided to take up on it, since I thought it would be great fun. When I started to put pen to paper, I didn’t realise that there was so much I wanted to do.  Some of it I know is achievable and some are beyond my wildest dreams but if I can manage to start ticking off a few every year, I will be happy. This has been hard as in there has been so much that I would like to put on my bucket list. …

My Entry – #HomeImprovementHero Challenge with MoneySuperMarket

by

It doesn’t take a lot to make a house, a home. It needs family and love. But to add that special something to a home, it is necessary to have a house that is comfortable and welcoming. Here also, I have learnt with this challenge that it does not need a lot to get a house looking like you want it to. When I was approached by MoneySuperMarket to take part in the Home Improvement Hero Challenge, I instantly took up on it. With the rise in prices, it is not easy to get by on a budget. Most often, …

Retail Royalty Challenge with MoneySuperMarket

by

When I received the Retail Royalty Challenge to support my local Charity by MoneySuperMarket, I knew I had to enter. I also had in mind which charity I would be supporting.   There was no doubt in my mind that I would support The Lullaby Trust. For those who don’t know, the Lullaby Trust, previously FSID, provides support for bereaved families and expert advice to prevent SIDS. However, according to the rules of the challenge, I could not really support the Lullaby Trust as they really do not require groceries/blankets etc. What they require are funds to support their ongoing …

Meals made simple with Shwartz 2in1

by

We have home cooked meals cooked from scratch most of the time, although I admit with 3 children,we sometimes take the easy way out and resort to frozen chips and nuggets and fish fingers, not to forget pizza. Especially now with summer in full swing, the last thing one wants to do is stand by the hob cooking up a meal that takes ages. I do try out a few bottle sauces because my children, like most, especially love pasta. So, when there was an opportunity to try out the new Schwartz 2in1range, I signed up. I received 2 packets …

Our Big Night In with Moneysupermarket

by

Moneysupermarket threw open a challenge to bloggers – to spend £50 on a night in with friends/family and show that one can have fun without breaking the bank. When I signed up to the Big Night In challenge with Moneysupermarket, I was not sure how to spend it. £50 can be a lot and it can also be a little depending on what one decides to do. I knew I wanted to do something with the family and also have some time as a couple with my husband. Going to a birthday party last Sunday gave me the perfect idea. …

  This post is an entry for BritMums’ Hungry to Happy Challenge sponsored by Richmond Mini Meatballs     BritMums asked bloggers to take on the challenge of preparing something quick with meatballs for the children to go from hungry to happy in minutes.

It is actually called ‘minestra maritata’ or’ married soup’ because of the meatballs and the greens going well together. Shell pasta is traditionally used and you can use any …

Tots100 Hoops and Crosses Lunchbox Competition

by

Here is my entry to the Tots100 #Hoopsand Crosses Competition My daughter thankfully loves vegetables but loves having different things in her lunchbox everyday. With getting everyone ready in time for the school run, I need to be able to pack in a healthy lunch in minutes. I figure if I can get most of her 5-a-day in her lunch, I can rest easy for the rest of the day. This lunch is packed with veggies and fruit and she just loves it. She loves Walkers Hoops and Crosses and since they contain 30% less fat, I am happy to pack …
