Food Waste Friday / Fail & Save
Each week since March 2008, in order to motivate her to waste less food, Kristen The Frugal Girl, has posted a picture of any food that has gone bad over the last seven days.

Open House / Time To Slow Down
Come on in - the blog is open y'all! My thoughts this week are very much about slowing down. Although it may seem productive to try and get lots of stuff done, quickly, I find that the faster I go the more errors I make. I've been very busy for the last 6 months.

On Making Mistakes & Keeping A Day Book
A big mistake, I'd made, came to light yesterday. Or so I thought. Have you ever experienced sheer panic? Where you cannot think straight? Cannot see straight?

Open House / Do You Have A Menu Board?
I'll kick off today with a subject that's very close to my heart - or rather my stomach. As an obsessive meal-planner, a menu-board is an essential bit of kit in our home. This is ours: ...
Do You Dream?
Do You Dream? I'm not talking about dreams that occur in the 8 hours (if lucky!) when we are at rest. (read about the fascinating stages of sleep here) I'm talking about visualisation. Visualise it. Realise it. ...
No Waste Tastes Great / Back To Basics
It's been almost 4 years since I started participating in The Frugal Girl's Food Waste Friday. (Don't forget the hashtag! #Food WasteFriday) While taking part I devised my own Friday routine which I called; No Waste Tastes Great This routine may have evolved over the last 4 years, and is currently being changed once more - which I will post about ...
