These posts are written by me. I will have received monetary compensation and/or a product/service to use/event tickets, in return for writing a post on my blog, often linking to another website. All written content is my own. I only write a sponsored/collaborative post if it is something relevant and relateable to me, my family or my blog audience.

I may have been sent a product for free to review and write about on my blog but this would be fully disclosed if the case. I may also be asked to review events, services or other experiences, again fully disclosed. I may have also received a fee to write the review, incentive of product or payment does affect the outcome of the review: all of these style posts will be disclosed at the top of a blog post with the tag ‘gifted’ or ‘advertisement’ with a link to this disclosure policy. All my reviews are my honest feelings and feelings about the product, service, event, or experience. There are many occasions when I write my own reviews on products or services that I have purchased and want to share with you. No money or free product has been accepted for these, and so, are not linked to my disclosure policy.

About

I’m Kirsty.  A mother of two (three if you include the hubby!) and I created this blog back in 2016 as a way to make myself accountable for the savings I had to make myself to my day to life after reducing my hours at work.

Childcare costs would’ve meant I was pretty much working for nothing and we refused to pay it!

It is now my mission to help other Mum’s find ways of doing the same & show that you can live within your means without feeling deprived.  The blog will provide you with ways you can make some extra money online, share frugal living tips you can take away and use yourself and encourage you to manage your money correctly!

Luxury doesn’t have to mean buying a Chanel bag or having a Ferrari on your drive but if you budget well, watch your spends, make the right decisions then you just never know… by cutting down or saving on just one element from your life may open other doors to things that you’ve only ever dreamt about!
