These British teeth and mouth breathers are a terrible

Hi Leigh, I was brave enough to start my youtube channel because of you, posted my first video yesterday! any support would be so wonderful and appreciated xx

I need the link for this trolley, sounds like a game changer

Holidays seem a lot more expensive this year, we had a look at a haven caravan holiday this year in a caravan park thats not too far from me and it was almost £1500 for a week 🫣 I personally dont think it was worth that price so didnt book it

Going away in just over a week to Majorca has a family of 10, me my husband, 2 adult daughters, partners and 4 grandchildren age 9, 6, 5 and 2 years none of the kids have been abroad before so very exciting.Didn't have a clue how much it was going to cost so bit of a shock £10,600 for all inclusive looks lovely with great pools for the kids, so hopefully wont be disappointed.your right about the hidden cost all needed new passports, cattery, dog sitter, clothes, the list is endless but bear this in mind in the future.Thanks for your blog very informative, we are aiming to spend as little as possible.

Thank you for sharing, I agree the prices have gone through the roof!

We are doing UK holidays this year cos we have just moved house but we have got a Greece holiday booked for first week in May next year. 2 adults and a 2 year old, self catering for a week in 2 bedroom apartment cost £1224. The additional cost we have to factor in is paying for nursery cos we still pay even if she is not attending.

I think it's very expensive for a week. We usually go to Turkey and that's gone very expensive for self catering. I'm looking at last minute all inclusive, but my kids are 36 and 40 so they pay for themselves. Hope you all have a lovely time 🥰

Fellow “almost booked a flight home early” parent 😂

This was really good. Thank you. We are a family of 3. Still in nursery so we go away out of peak season until next year. Still costs 1500 ish plus all the extras. So generally spend 2000. Like you we save all year as we value holidays over other things. Our next trip is Madeira which is a lovely family holiday too. Any tips for the fight? How to entertain a 3 year old? Hope you had a lovely time xx

Very clear video..thank you... One thing to take away in end was most useful

Making money ideas please for the average person.

😊planning to have a baby for 2025. Myself and my partner work full time 37.5 hours a week each would we still be entitled to it/ would there be spaces?

More money making ideas please 🙏 do you have any knowledge on selling downloads on Etsy? x

Enjoyed the content. x

Cardboard boxes

Plastic milk cartons and the milk tops were a regular that our school needed. Dont know if its still a thing now

Oooh didnt realise where you lived Leigh. Was up on Wirral two weeks ago visiting rellies. Best wishes.

Watching from Dunedin New Zealand I loooove thrift shopping my best bargin to date was nike air force shoes brand new in my sons size for $5. Brand new the shoes were $230

So clear and concise, thank you!

Great find on the 2-piece set for your daughter! 🎉

Morning Leigh

Biweekly is 26 not 24. "One more payment per year" Great quality. 26 - 24 = 1. Why do fkn idiots post this trash, pretending to be experts, yet fail at even proofreading your script?

My budget for food is £120 my everything else budget is £30 and that does include hair dye, £12 a week bus ticket and I've been trying to eat more fresh fruit and veg and trying new things.

Tesco noodles 35p quick and easy lunch when I can't be bothered....which is often 😂

We do a full total budget. So £700 for the month for 2 adults and 3 children. Seems a lot but includes all bath stuff, cleaning supplies, pull ups etc also :)

Amazing to see how well you are doing sticking to your budget! Wanted to say thanks for introducing me to the Jam doughnut app in a previous app, i had heard of them before but your video made me bite the bullet. Reached my first cash out now🎉

Part 2 ❤✌

Another great video. We almost got a glimpse of your little boy. Would be lovely if you introduced him, your daughter and husband too. Seems like we'd know you as a family 😍😍

We just have a ‘grocery’ budget, £450 a month 3adults 1 child, 1 cat, like you, this includes all household stuff & toiletries x

These videos are so interesting

Most of our food shop is husband snacks tbh. We need to eat better too. Budget meal we make often is tomato pasta, we mix sliced southern fried chicken goujons into it but you could use a Quorn version. In terms of work lunches I find for me I make a batch of something and have it for the week so I dont have to think. Latest one is rice, veg, satay sauce (technically a dipping one from Aldi but I water it down) and I add chicken in (could use any substitute or just extra veg) it's delicious :)

Great video. You’ve inspired me to do a meal plan and Aldi shop today, we’re a family of 4 with a 1 and a 2 year old. Most of our food shop is kids snacks 😂

Love how realistic & true to yourself you are, I would love to start a TH-cam channel , but scared of looking like a plonker ! 😅x

Im 23 and forgetting my pets food. Spend 80 a week on myself. Ruthless

Sorry if you’ve done one already but a video specifically on apps would be good. I’ve got Shopmium but it’s naff TBH so a comparison between them would be good. Made about £100 from Shoppix since I’ve had it, loads of loyalty apps have made me some money too but would be good to know if I’m missing any!

Cottage cheese is high protein and super cheap! I appreciate its not to everyone’s taste, my husband hates it! 😂x

Great video! A good reminder to me about intentional spending and spending on the things that bring value to our life. Think we're similar to you in that we are in a very fortunate place where we don't have to count every penny...but it's so easy to waste money on things that add no value whatsoever and then not have the money for the things that bring real joy and impact on our lives.

Congratulations on sticking to your food shop. Great to see your intentional spending, i have been working on that myself this year too! It is hard with children too because you do want to give them the world! But yes it's important to teach them that happiness can come not only from stuff! My almost 3 year old has just started asking for everything and anything for her birthday 😅 . Looking forward to seeing how the rest of your month goes and wishing you luck 🤞 X

Hello and sorry to hear your struggles with time. My suugestion is that for us back in the day - only one of us would do the big weekly food shop, using a list while the other parent stayed home with the children. Supermarkets just are not fun for little children - I recall it being better once they got older and could help with fetching some of the list items. Do you and your hubby ever get to go on a date together leaving a babysitter at home for a couple of hours? Then you get out of the house to relax a bit and have a good chinwag about everything. Just a couple of thoughts from a mum now grandma. X

Getting a gift card to force you to budget is such a good idea! Also the switch from Sainsbury's to Lidl has saved me soooooooo much money!

Poor weather last year means less olive oil

Fish is meat???

Well that's a boring video

My version of kedgeree - fried onion, rice, smoked haddock in a cheese sauce - make the sauce from milk you poached the fish in - mix all together - amazing!

Toddler tower - best thing we ever bought! Frees up your hands for little ones and means my 4 year old can comfortably stand and help

I have got one of the toddler towers. I wouldn't say it's a budget one (I think it was £169.99) but it can be reconfigured into a table and chair too. Got it for my daughters first birthday and use it daily so well worthwhile. I can send you the link if you like :) I shop weekly. I make a vegetable and quinoa curry in the slow cooker. Ingredient wise it's quinoa, sweet potato, brocolli, coconut milk, tomatoes and curry powder so doesn't take a lot of ingredients and makes loads :)

It depends on what you get. Somethings are not cheaper and can be caught out if VAT not already added from my experience. Hard not to be tempted by stuff you don't need 😅❤

Hi Leigh. Well done tackling the kitche. If it were me clearing the drawer with the utensils etc I would get a cutlery liner tray for the drawer and keep all the slotted spoons, fish slices, wooden spoons together. And yes! Do have both metal and non stick utensils so you don't scratch frying pans, air fryer trays or anything non stick. I bought some Curver boxes in The Range in the past to put bakery cutters, cake cases, cocktail sticks, baking beans etc all together in one place. They fit great on the shelves. Finally foil, bags, clingfilm, greaseproof - could you spare a drawer just for them maybe? Best wishes.
