Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We have a guest post for you today which includes some items from John Lewis. It’s quite pertinent as well as we’ve been enjoying our cooking and baking recently here, so without further ado, here it is: Tips for an efficient kitchen When you’re prepping and cooking meals, you should be able to locate the...
Guess I’d better spend the day clearing up the carnage made by Anna and Morgan whilst making pancakes last night!. Looks as though they had fun though and there were a pile of pancakes waiting for me when I got back for circuits and swimfit. Mmmmmm.
Just after I started working as a Freelance Website Designer here in West Wales, I decided that due to the fact that I wouldn’t have a company pension scheme that I should put some money away each month that could act as a pension. Some went into a standard ISA savings account, although most of...

Mmm, now that was an epic hot chocolate. Complete with chocolate chips, marshmallows and squirty cream and the chocolate itself was thick enough to stand a spoon in. Nice!
