Everything related to making money and saving money.
This week has flown by! Probably because Daisy starts nursery on Monday! Eek. Anyway, I’ve had a fantastic week. We’ve been very productive at the allotment, online and at home. We also enjoyed a lovely day off together on Tuesday. My husband is working super hard at the moment which means we don’t have a huge amount of time together. This does however give me more time to focus on being frugal. Here is my Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve Done This Week – 21st July post.
Every Thursday I will be bringing you another instalment of my guest series, Money Talks. I’ll be featuring bloggers from all walks of life giving their answers to money related questions. Hopefully you will find a new blog to read and learn more about other people online. Money Talks will be live every Thursday and I’ve got some absolutely fantastic bloggers taking part! Hope you enjoy it. If you’re a blogger and want to take part then get in touch. This weeks instalment features Miracle Max. You can check out the Miracle Max website here.
I’ve been working for myself now for 4+ years, and I absolutely love it. Sure there are the odd things that I don’t enjoy. No sick pay for example. For the most part I love the freedom of self-employment and being my own boss. I can choose my own hours, take a day off whenever I need to and I get to work with amazing brands on fantastic opportunities. This is all possible thanks to the support of my wonderful husband who allowed me to quit my job back in 2013. Without Tom I wouldn’t have this website, wouldn’t earn money from home and I’m almost certain I wouldn’t be self-employed. No longer do I have to worry about a hospital appointment and I get to go out with my daughter any time I feel like it. Today I want to talk to you about something a little different – why couriers are the lifeblood of the self-employed.
I’m a fan of takeaways. Who isn’t right?! I love being able to just pop online, order some good food and put almost no effort in. However, what I don’t love is that a takeaway just blows our food budget for the week most of the time! Over the last few years I’ve perfected a number of ways to save money on takeaways – and I want to share them with you!
This week saw my husband return back to work. This means that I have had a little less time than in more recent weeks. Which was actually fine. I’ve been a bit under the weather too so a day off was needed. I’m feeling on the mend now and getting back to the usual routine. Here is my Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve Done This Week – 14th July post.
