Day 5 – And suddenly it’s all over! – Live Below the Line
All meals have been eaten, all drinks drunk, the boys have been full of energy but slept really well all week, and we still have £0.07 in the purse. It’s been an awesome experience on so many levels. I’ve lost weight but have been full of energy, I’ve saved a...

How much is £20 worth? Live Below the Line
So the shops have been hit, the £20 note has been broken, and there’s a few quid still in the purse for the “renewals” later in the week. My eldest son (5 years old) has never been SO excited to see a pile of shopping as I laid it out to photograph, and then we set it...
Life (and shopping!) is all about choices – Live Below the Line
