a wii saving

I have been toying with the thought of getting a gym membership again but instead we got a wii fit! Our own personal trainer.. BMI, weight regulator in one- saves us buying new scales too (ours died months back) all for the price off one qaurterly gym pass.. and if you ask us- more fun too, so far we've been on it most nights and have both had weight decrease :)

Pancakes

Pancake day reminded me of one of my favorite childhood treats. Pancakes are inexpensive, tasty, versatile and easy to make.

yum yum yum

turn it off (or down)

I don't have an automatic setting for turning the heating in our apartment down and just the other day I realised I was a little too warm for comfort and that the heating had been on full blast still even though the snow has cleared up from two weeks ago.. have you turned your heating down? It could surprize you what you sometimes pay for without realising and the money you can save by turning the heating down a notch in the year. Which bring's me to something else that I realised I was wasting money through this winter- lack of effective draught excluders fitted in my home. Our heat was going out the window, under the front door.. through the letterbox! etc

So I made these babies to line the bottom of the two main doors of our house, and there was an instant definite improvement, I considered also inserting a rolled up towel or blanket in the letter box (that could easily be reinserted and pushed through when post come).. untill ofcourse I get the place done properly..
