Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares In the first two posts in this series, we talked about dairy items and fresh produce that can be frozen. Yoghurt and onions might have been a bit of a surprise for you but this post is where we’re going to get really radial, and random, and reckless! Table of […]

Share Pin2 Tweet 2 Shares I’d been asked by my friends at work if I could make facemasks since we are in a shared workspace, our benches have been moved 2 meters apart but there is still a lot of contact whilst we are walking around the workshop and we’d like to try and limit […]
Share Pin1 Tweet 1 Shares Did you miss me? Did you notice I was gone? Does anyone even remember who I am? *sniff* I guess I should reintroduce myself… Hi I’m Charlotte and I’ve been a blogger on and off for the past ten years (I actually wrote ‘decade’ first but that made me feel […]
Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares It’s fair to say that we are starting this Extreme Garden Makeover with a blank canvas. It’s not going to be a quick project or a cheap one but we are cash flowing all the work and doing it in ‘phases’ I have been thinking about how I want our […]
Share Pin21 Tweet 21 Shares Every year I make resolutions to try and change my life for the better and make it my best year yet…and every year (by around mid January) I end up feeling disappointed in myself when I don’t stick to them. So I’m just not doing it this year. I am […]
Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares Every year, millions of people around the world resolve to get their lives organised. But vowing to get organised and actually taking action are two different things.

Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares In the next article in our series on food prep, we turn our attention away from the freezer and towards the fridge. We open our fridges multiple times a day but often don’t give them much more thought. You can buy a basic level fridge for as little as £100, […]

Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares I have a thing for smells. I’ve got a keen nose (I’ve identified many a water leak in houses thanks to noticing a wet plaster or damp wood smell. I’m also very good at detecting gas leaks,I wish I was joking but I’m not, I guess it counts as a […]
Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares I’m losing count of the weeks now, if it wasn’t for updating this header image each week I’d have no idea! Work confirmed on Friday that I’ll be off for at least another two weeks so I guess I’ll just keep plodding along like I have been. Tuesday 26th May […]
Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares As of 4pm today I have been put on a 3 week minimum furlough from work. I’m happy with this decision – we can afford it financially and it means I’ll be away from unnecessary germs but it’s going to be very strange being home whilst Dean is still going […]

Share Pin13K Tweet 13K Shares The biggest project we have to tackle this year is the garden and I am so excited about it! I have lots of ideas but it’s very hard to explain them to Dean (especially when he has no interest in gardening at all) so I thought the best way to […]
Share12 Pin9 Tweet 21 Shares This past month has been a blur of sleepless nights and puppy snuggles. I say on every Goals post that the last month went too quick, is it just an age thing? Have I go to the age now where this is just how quick times goes?? Learn how to […]
Share12 Pin9 Tweet 21 Shares I feel like I say it every time but where did last month go? I have actually lost all sense of time recently, the weeks are blending into one another and I’m struggling to keep track of where we are in the year. I’ve tried to go for less goals […]
Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares One of my Goals for the month was to have a sort out of all my clothes. I say all my clothes like I’m some kind of fashionista but I actually already have a fairly limited wardrobe of just tatty clothes for work, pajamas, gym clothes, less tatty clothes for […]
Share12 Pin11 Tweet 23 Shares I didn’t do a Goals post last month, I knew it was going to be a tough month and I knew I wouldn’t manage to get much more done than just working and sleeping. Thankfully I survived July with my sanity mainly intact and so I’m back this month with […]
Share Pin43 Tweet 43 Shares The past week has not been overly fun for me. It has involved a lot of stressing and late nights at the computer learning new things, trying to remember things I’ve not done in years, breaking things, having to fix the things I broke all whilst trying not to burst […]
Share Pin Tweet 0 Shares I’m seeing a lot of posts and links on Facebook lately talking about the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ‘movement’. I actually watched a really interesting video by Michelle Khare (one of my favourite Youtubers at the moment) the other day and it prompted me to go on a bit of a […]
