Simply Being Mum’s £600 Summer Challenge
Last week I posted about how on average a UK family may have around £600 of unwanted but saleable items in their home. Click here to read that post. Now the source of that fact is eluding me.

During my late teenage years I became ...
Food Waste Friday / Digesting Feedback
On Wednesday I asked for help. If you don't know what I'm talking about click here. And help I got - thank you. I didn't reply to each comment. It wasn't a post for that - I just wanted to hear what you thought. All of it will be taken on-board. In fact I will take a few days to properly digest the feedback and decide what improvements need to be made. I ...
Help Me Make Reducing Food Waste More Inspiring

Thinking about how I was kindly asked to host alternate Friday's by the one and only The Frugal Girl. The queen of making food saves. Yet I do not feel I'm doing such a great job. Comments and interaction has ...
