I haven’t posted in months and months as things have been very difficult. Sorry to break the ice with a rant but I badly need to get this off my chest. Aaaaaaand breeeeeeeeeeeathe… Dear To Soon To Be Ex Husband, Since trying to speak to you is like banging my head against a brick wall … Continue reading »
This substantial curry sauce is one of my favourite lazy suppers. Make up a big batch like this and you have 8 meals sat in the freezer waiting for you, you just need to stir in some protein and add some quick carbs on the side. It requires little thinking ahead and can be on … Continue reading »
I admit it, I won’t leave the house without blusher on. Who am I kidding, I put it on if I’m not leaving the house too. Don’t look at me like that. Yes it’s vain, but I feel so much happier and confident with my cheeks on. No, blusher is not an essential item for me or Thrifty Baby, … Continue reading »
I just made a batch of cottage pies from Annabel Karmel’s New Complete Baby & Toddler Meal Planner(p130). A quick word of love for Annabel Karmel. Her books and recipes are the most sensible, accesible and edible baby recipes I’ve read. There’s a reason why she’s so popular – she seriously knows her stuff. I … Continue reading »
Here’s a selection of what I bought today… Stuffed tortellini (£0.75) These come in either ham or ricotta and spinach options. I bought one of each. The pack says it will serve 2 people. Just simmer them for 1-2 minutes. Drizzle over some olive oil, add black pepper and cheese, bung a salad on the side … Continue reading »

This gorgeous moisturiser is the best lip balm I’ve ever used. I use it on my face at night, on elbows, heels and any other dry patches. … Continue reading »

I caught a spider today. It had a big fat body and thick hairy legs. I caught it all by myself. Usually if I saw a spider in the house I would get my husband to get rid of it (even if it meant waiting a few hours until he came home, when I would watch it constantly … Continue reading »
I made this bolognese for the baby and he loves it. It made enough for 6 huge portions for him (he’s 11 months old and has a big appetite) and 2 portions for me. I think you could get 12-15 baby-sized portions from this and it cost about £4.00 to make in total = £0.27 … Continue reading »
5 stars ***** Having always used a branded washing powder I was really dubious of switching to a cheaper brand. Don’t worry – it is absolutely fantastic and here’s why: It cleans really well. Well, what more do you want? More? OK… It dissolves properly, and doesn’t leave a residue on clothes (even at 30 degrees) … Continue reading »
