Today I’m going to talk you my frugal week
Hello hello hello – My Frugal Week
Well, my kids are finally back at school and I have my nose to the grindstone (weird expression) try to catch up. I have a TREMENDOUS amount of work to do at the moment but as aways I do get a real buzz from it.
Sustainable fashion
Let me tell you what I have been working on. I have been vlogging about the new Oxfam campaign. Second Hand September. Have a watch if you want to know more and pop over here to sign the second-hand September pledge if you are interested in joining in
Crafting with paper
We have been crafting this week, inexpensively crafting with paper inspired by Red Ted Art’s great new book Easy Paper Projects. Pop over here o read my Easy Paper Projects review and see what we made from her book.
Thrifty Home
Did you know I have a blog called thrifty home which is all about – yep you guessed it …thrifty homes! I love interior design and being able to have a lovely home and eco-conscious on a budget is something I really believe is possible, This week over at Thrifty Home I have been writing about how zero-waste products can save you money
The savings from going green can be great and of course, you are doing your bit for the environment too.

House Value
We are considering an extension.
It would be so expensive to move but we are wondering how an extension would work for us in giving us the space we crave. It would certainly impact our house value How to increase house value on a budget is another subject I have been writing about this week – you would be amazed at how some very simple things can make the difference especially when it comes time to sell.
