Five little things - Friday 9th May

This is the third of my 'five little things' series of posts. Each Friday I let you know what I have done that day to save money. Usually they are little things that normally go un-noticed but they all count towards us saving money and becoming mortgage free sooner rather than later!

1. Shared a shower with my 1 year old daughter. Saves on water and time!

2. Went on a playdate. We went round to a friend from works house so our children could play together. It was a lovely day to sit in the garden and best of all, a completely free fun activity.

3. Set up this years ISA for myself. I'm a bit late doing it this year but we haven't had any spare money to put in to it so I've not lost out! Will use it to get tax free savings for any money I put away.

4. Took a walk down to our local Tesco express at around 4pm. This is when they tend to 'yellow sticker' all the bits and bobs that are going out of date. I picked up 8 plums for 29p and 2 loaves of bread for 9p each.

5. Had a romantic night in with other half. Ok, I won't go in to detail but it saves on watching the TV or being on the laptop! Some times in a busy family life we forget that we are part of a couple as well. We aren't just Mummy and Daddy, we do have other responsibilities to each other and need to pay attention to our relationship to ensure we stay strong.

Thanks for reading,
