Transformation Tuesday #2 in our new home 🌿 The Transformation Tuesday #2 in our new home 🌿 The garden! 
Thankfully we managed to get it done pretty quickly much to our delight. Having a puppy and 20 odd patio slabs for him to do his business on got pretty tedious pretty quickly! 
Now to start the garden planning - I’m actually looking forward to getting green fingered this spring! 👩‍🌾

How much coffee is too much coffee for a Monday?☕️ Asking for a friend 🙈 Today we get our garden turfed and boy am I excited to see green outside our patio doors and a patio that isn’t littered with dog poo or wee!

Despite living in a new build apartment for 4 years before painting, the urge to paint in the new house is so strong. Everything just looks so bare! All white homes tell me your secrets!

Christmas is still on in the P Household 🎄🎁 Christmas is still on in the P Household 🎄🎁 Unlike so many on my feed, we keep our deccys up until January and I’m bloody glad. It’s only been a week since we put them up 😂 and this is the first time in weeks we’ve been taking it slow and embracing the Christmas period. 
-
The house is a mess, and the dining table is just how we left it Christmas Day evening ( along with lots of presents ) and we’ve only managed a quick hoover. But Christmas movies are still high on the agenda and left over turkey is still a plenty! 
-
Thank goodness for the Chrimbo Limbo period 🙌🏻

It’s all been late nights 🎨 As we just prepar It’s all been late nights 🎨 As we just prepare for our new home! Our flooring is down, and despite my husbands worry we would just have a grey home (we are not), we are so happy with it!

Your flooring is always a huge decision as it is the base of your home. We opted for high quality, durable flooring throughout our home, with a colour that will suit our changing trends. Grey is the perfect choice, with its chameleon like versatility!

We’ve got the painting bug and I can’t wait to get some paint on those bare, white walls!

This was something we had envisioned for a while and since we only had one weekend before the flooring was to be laid, we knew we just had to jump right in and do it! 
-
Lots of frog tape later and a tin of Matt black paint and we have the finish we were after.

It’s very small change but one we are sooo happy with, especially as it will be another couple of weeks before we inject colour into the walls!

Save at the checkout – How to cut your food bill in half

Food shopping – the bane of many and a real chore, and money pit if you make the horrendous mistake of heading there hungry! There is no denying, your food bill can get bloody expensive!

And yet your friends and family members seem to gloat at how cheaply they have managed the shop on such a small budget! How?

Over the past year, we have fluctuated in our shopping costs, yet we seem to come in at under £50 every time. That’s half of what we were spending previously! Our shop includes lunches for work, and 7 nights of dinners. How do we manage it? Here’s how!

Make a menu for the week.

Every week I *try* and plan ahead for the meals to come, buying just what I need. I make sure what I’m having from one night to the next will support if needed to cut down waste. I don’t like chucking food and I hate opening food and not using all in consecutive days.

This is a great way to just shop what you need, and be organised on cooking post a day at work.

Check the deals

It may sound silly, but why not buy two for the price of one? I am always checking the deal section and if something is half price I always pick up two. If I know its something that will be handy in the cupboards or something I regularly reach for, I stock up when the price is right.

Freeze meat.

When you find meat at a good price, stock up and bulk freeze. It may sound a hassle to defrost to cook before hand, but freezing fresh meat at a good price can save you pennies in the long run. You can always take out of freezer the night before, ready for the evening meal the following day.

Make extra for future meals.

Even when there is two I make enough for four. If all is not eaten I just freeze, or even have it for lunch the following day. When it comes to the odd nights I can’t be asked to cook fresh, or hubby is alone, he has a pick of the bunch in the freezer!

Don’t be shy of the own brands.

More and more people are open to buying non branded products and its hard to see why it took some so long. I always buy home brands when I can. Cereal, crisps, cereal bars, biscuits, pasta sauces  and juice are all perfect examples of a own brand that can taste as good as the real deal.
Swapping your brands can drop pounds off your shopping bill weekly.

From fresh to frozen.

Why is frozen veg always looked at as the fake version. Did you know, most frozen veg are fresher than fresh ( if that makes sense ). So don’t turn your nose at it, especially if you are prone to let food go off.
We like to make smoothies, breakfast granola and have simple veg on the side of meals with frozen. It allows you to always have healthy side , but the time frame on fresh picks put me off. Swapping from Fresh to frozen not only gives you a greater length of life on your food but saves money too.

Shop around.

It’s well worth changing your store every once in a while. Of course we have our fav stores, but venture into some of those other supermarkets to grab some deals. As we know, the popularity of such stores like Lidl and Aldi are on the rise – and rightly so. With a good range, and at unbeatable prices, if you haven’t already, heading to either of these supermarkets should be a weekly occurrence.
