    That viral dress

    So there's a dress going around social media, creating fuss. What colour do you see? Black and blue or white and gold? I can't see white and gold at all, no matter what I do. It's real dark blue and almost-black to me.

    Low cost things to do

    Well, it's Tuesday which is our day out day. Both children home from preschool and we usually have a day out somewhere, or meet up with friends in a pub (with soft play). But, the cheapest of these costs around £30 and when I figure how long it takes me to earn that, this week I decided to try...

    Utilities

    So my electricity is with First Utility and I think I switched to them around December last year because they promised to save us so much. Last few bills have been £36-£42 a month. Not sure if this is good or bad or what. 4 bed house, 2 adults and 2 toddlers. Gas cooker and gas powers the...

    Make-up

    So, inspired by the saving money bit here, I wanted some funky eye shadows and lipsticks for my hols and instead of going for Bourjois or whatever I usually would, I decided to try MUA. I can't even remember where I'd heard of the name, but I remembered they were similar to ELF, and they both...

    Stellajose Saves

    Right, so Christmas is 16 weeks away and with 2 children and 3 step-children, a step-step-grandaughter(!) and a step-grandchild on the way, it's costly in this house. So I want to cut back on the shopping bill. I want to cut takeaways - last night we spent £26 on Chinese and last Saturday...

    Banking

    Who do you bank with? Have you done any of those £100 switches to Halifax or First Direct? I just switched to FD this week. Too many bank accounts are stressful for me - but I now have First Direct, Lloyds and Natwest. Plus Halifax that I have dribs and drabs of money go in from various...

    Trivago

    I keep seeing people say they make money by writing for Trivago. Does anyone know how this works? I can't find any details on the website (http://www.trivago.co.uk/) except something about collecting miles for posting, which convert to cash. But how?

    Stellajose's Stuff

    I decided to make a diary. I really want to earn as much as possible each month over the next two, to pay for holiday spends. If I can all the spending money, we won't have to dip into savings. So that's £1,000 or so. So far this month: £138.40 on 63336 (that's extremely high and is mostly...

    Hubpages

    Does anyone write for Hubpages? I joined up a couple of years ago and wrote around 10 articles and then forgot about it. Since then I've had four or five payouts of $50 each, so $200-$250 dollars. I just checked and there's another $31 in there. Not bad for an hour's work a couple of years ago...
