Never say we don’t like the colder months. And never say we
don’t give you enough ideas to aid your enjoyment of them. You can keep your
summer, with all of its sunburn, mosquito bites and sweat patches. Give us a
hot steamed pudding and an open fire any day. But how do you occupy your free
time now that the opportunities to go outside are slightly more limited than a
few weeks ago? Ok, let’s face it, in the UK, going outside always carries a bit
of a risk, so you can use some of these lifestyle and shopping tips all year
round…
The nights are drawing in, and if you have trouble getting
your 8 hours sleep each night, now might be the time to solve that problem.
Relax your mind as well as your body and take some active measures to improve
your much-needed night time rest. Our blog has a selection of ideas to get you on the road to restful sleep, from ear-plugs to bedroom makeovers.
Talking of makeovers, many people take the opportunity that
comes with the slightly less-humid weather to do a spot of DIY. Upgrade or
upcycle your furniture, pick out a couple of choice artwork prints, or just stick
a new lick of paint on your walls. Here are some money-saving ideas to give you a bit of home inspiration.
The countdown to Christmas has begun, so those on a budget
(that’s most of us then) had better get their planning hats on. Christmas isn’t
all about the big spends you know - sometimes a little says a lot more. Check
our selection of gift ideas for not only under £10, but also under £5. And it’s
not just pictures of gift cards.
And no autumnal savings and lifestyle would be complete
without a mention of Halloween. Am I right? So get your spook on with this
guide on how to make Halloween cupcakes. Just save some for the actual night in
question, rather than scoff the lot beforehand.
We can’t leave without mentioning this fantastic Marks and
Spencer’s giveaway. If you download our money saving app to your browser, you automatically get entered into a draw to win £250 worth of Marks and Spencer’s vouchers.
Think of all the winter thermals you could buy with that…
