July Recap & August Goals

July has actually been a really good month! I've been feeling much more positive this month, I've been doing more fun things and work has been really good too. I've also finally started binge watching Bobs Burgers. I love that show, I honestly can't decide who my favourite character is!

How to Embrace the Minimalist Lifestyle

The minimalist lifestyle has many benefits worth considering. For starters, it encourages you to spend less and save more, leading to financial stability. Likewise, you focus on acquiring fewer but high-quality possessions, eliminating excess clutter. The minimalist lifestyle is also stress-free, as you have fewer things to clean or worry about. Statistics also indicate that the minimalist home style is popular among British house hunters. So, are you planning to embrace the minimalist lifestyle? If yes, here’s how to achieve the best results.

Legoland Photo Diary

I finally got to take my boys to Legoland! I paid for myself, Josh and Charlie to stay overnight in the Legoland hotel. It was blimming expensive, but well worth it in my opinion! We set off much later than we expected on the Saturday, and got stuck in traffic. An hours drive turned into three hours and I for one was so glad I'd booked us in overnight.

July Budget

If you've read my June Budget recap, you'll know I spent a horrendous amount of money! My pay was basically what I expected - not terrible but could have been better - and now it's time to really knuckle down and curb my spending.

June Recap & July Goals

Oh my goodness it's finally July! Or should that be already July? June dragged like heck but also how is it nearly the summer holidays already? June did not start off great for me. I'd been feeling really depressed and I've not been able to get a GP appointment at all. I've not been coping very well at all and staying in bed all day on my days off work, I've cried at work and just generally been a sad little bean. I was definitely due a week off! But to be fair, the last couple of weeks has been so much better!
