January Giveaway

Last month, I said that once I had 200 followers, I would celebrate with a giveaway. I have passed that now – and have done well over 3000 posts – so here it is

As many blogs are focussing on being frugal, saving money and cooking from scratch, I decided to go for a kitchen themed package.

One of my home-made aprons [with useful pockets] to protect your clothes whilst you are cooking, some quick midweek supper recipes, and a book of ideas to produce interesting meals with a can of beans. You will be wanting to sit down with a cuppa in between all this thrifty baking, so here’s one of my teacosies [fabric, not knitted this time] and a little book of money saving tips to read during your teabreak. And a pack of tissues, in case chopping onions reduces you to tears [or you catch a cold] I’ll probably pop in a few other little surprise bits when I get the parcel ready for posting.

If you’d like to be on the receiving end, then leave a comment on this post, before midnight next Wednesday [29th]

You can find some more great ideas for being frugal over at Elaine’s blog this week- her Frugal Book is now available for free download. She compiled it from her reader’s tips - I’ve even got a comment included in it myself.

Thank you to everybody who is following this blog – publicly or anonymously. Your positive comments and emails are a real encouragement.
