It's Thursday Guys. The blog is open, and anything goes. I'll kick off with a few of my own ramblings today. ...
Blast From The Past Recipe & A Thank You
Just by chance, this morning, I decided to check the date of my first ever blog post. It was 8 October 2010. Gosh - over 4 years ago. Doesn't time fly when you're typing ;) I then checked what I'd posted on 15 October 2014 - 4 years to the day. It was this Simple Chicken Tikka Masala Slow Cooker Recipe (without photos - what was I thinking?) When I ...
Clear Your Clutter Completely
"Today is your day to let go of things that no longer serve you." Katrina Mayer. We've spent a significant amount of the last two weekends, clearing the clutter at Chez Wright. Christmas is coming (there I said it) and we're decluttering in preparation of the change of seasons. But that's not the only reason. My daughter has started holding an annual ...
Food Waste Friday / Shopping Naked To Reduce Waste
I've been participating in The Frugal Girl's Food Waste Friday for almost 4 years. (And hosting alternate weeks for just over 2 years) Here's my first ever post which was dedicated to my amazing Gran. During those 4 years I have focused on reducing my food waste, to the point where it is minimal. This was helped by sticking to my No Waste Tastes Great ...
Open House / Living Without Appliances & Chutney
It's Thursday, time to throw open the doors to my virtual home and welcome you all inside. Anything goes. There is no set subject. Share your posts, or general thoughts from this week. What are you reading? What have you been up to? What plans have you for this weekend? Literally there is no subject taboo (unless it's illegal of course! ;)) Today I'm ...
A Fiver To Feed A Family Of Four (Properly)
It's becoming a rarity for me to stick to the blog posts I have scheduled for the week. Once again, today I was taken completely off track by something I saw over at Facebook. But can I find it? Alas no! When I do I will share it on my page. There was a story about a mother who claimed she was too poor to eat properly. Overweight, she commented she cannot ...
A Change Of Plan – Being Grateful
The plan today was to post about planning. I already had the post outlined in my head. It would have been called Planning a Productive Week. I'm headed into a busy week, and am keen to get organised and blast my way through my to-do list. Then fate intervened (I'm a huge believer in keeping an eye out for the little things that come to teach ...
No Waste Tastes Great / Chocolate + Beetroot = Cake (Yes?)
It's Friday Guys - and as always I participate in The Frugal Girls Food Waste Friday. (If joining in don't forget the hashtag #FoodWasteFriday) Alternate weeks (when I am not hosting) my Food Waste Friday posts are titled No Waste Tastes Great Because although it's beneficial to highlight what food has been wasted, so it can be reduced going forward - it's ...
Open House / Redecorating, The C Word & Mr Thornton
I enjoyed last Thursday's Open House, so much, everyone. Thank you for popping by. I hope you'll be over again today? You may have noticed that my virtual home has been redecorated. I'm not really one for change, but fancied a little bit of colour. Now, I only use free WordPress templates, currently, so I'm limited in what I can do to the place ;) But ...
Organising Challenge For All – Whether Spring, Autumn Or Fall
Every day I pay thanks to the internet. And social media. I believe it's a miracle. And don't even get me started on Instagram. I'm a fan. Wherever I may be, I can check out what's going on around the globe . There are the most fantastic photos in my stream. This one not quite so fantastic, but a flavour of my day today. (p.s it's not a dirty carpet - ...
